Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected them to the Internet.
This was a clue and we just didn't listen.
@opsnlops In the 1980s they whistled cheerfully at 300 baud and you could whistle back. Then we started force-feeding them at speeds faster than we could read. That’s when the screaming began.

@mjgardner Some could even whistle back at 2400 baud, but not beyond that 😂@opsnlops
