Is the girl all right?

Are you implying the image is stupid or the girl in the image is stupid?
The eye wash is a safety precaution if you get dangerous chemicals in your eyes.
The glasses is meant to protect the eyes as well, but not from the eye wash.

>internet of things

It's probably a photo for demonstration purpose, so yes.

>Are you implying the image is stupid or the girl in the image is stupid?
You are stupid. Maybe he is implying that he wishes to wash his eyes after seeing those terms?

>[number]p

Adding "p" at the end of an arbitrary number doesn't automatically make it an official standard/resolution. Not only that, but you're not telling anything without additional information like aspect ratio.

>app

>Coding

full stack web developer

that's an actual term... wtf.

Code ninja artisan pirate hacker guru jedi

as opposed to short stack pancakes?

usb high speed
usb full speed
usb super speed

>Guys look at me! I know what this device everybody knows from mid school chemistry classes is! Look how smart I am!
Idiot

This is the oldest one I can remember. I think it's the first tech term that made me cringe in my life:
>Information Superhighway
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_superhighway

aawww yss

dat earlobe
wish my penis was micro enough to fit in there

Using the letter "i" in front of a name to make it seem its super techy... and companies giving stupid names to their products

Dyson "Digital v6" vacuum - It's an electric motor
Lighting connector - Until recent devices this was a USB2 connection, no lighting speeds there.

NVIDIA

the p stands for progressive instead of i for interleaved video, you can put that behind any number and thats fine

>internet of things
It sounds like a new meme term for something existed before.
So, basically, what's that?

Platform as a Service(PaaS), Software as a Service(SaaS) etc.

Yeah but that's not the term making you cringe, it's the concept behind it.

Fuck, Tesla is marketing Hardware as a Service.

Bring your own device (BYOD). Bring your own technology(BYOT). Bring your own phone(BYP).

This is what you get when managers try to get into technology.

>prosumer
>phablet

>phabsumer

that's just gay consumers though

It's just everyday devices connected to the internet. Like light, coffee machine, radiator, etc.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_things

Beside the term for it, the idea itself is also really stupid. It's exactly what you don't want. There are enough security issues with plain cameras, do you want strangers from the other side of the world to control your whole home?

to be fair the computer is by far the most sensitive home device and they can easily get that. Who cares if they also fuck up your toaster

>Who cares if they also fuck up your toaster
Enjoy your housefire

unless you your paper towels are hanging into your toaster it can't start a fire

>internet of things

yeah fuck this

>prosumer
I only learnt this term by your post and it is already the worst one I've seen

Especially thinking about self-proclaimed prosumers

what is a webinar?

cyber

You could probably aim your meatus at the opening of the ear canal, and fill her ears with your semen.

> .io

It's just a random demo photo you autist. He never said or implied that the girl in the image is stupid. And we all took chemistry in high school, we know what they are for.

>smart _____

Not that guy, but in my country we never used these. Hell, we never even played around with the various elements.

Must be nice..

also dropping the "e" in anything that would normally be written as "somethingER"

>cyber

>>cloud
Fucking this. Especially when people, who don't know shit, use it to fucking refer to basically everything on the internet.

>Be on vacation with some people
>Friend, who is a father has his son at home
>Son at home has some issues with internet and writes Friend a text
>Friend's like: "no probs, will configure remotely from vacation"

>enter routers domain name in safari
>doesn't work
>shiet wuuut.jpg
>Me: well it only works in your LAN, how else is it supposed to know what router you mean with that domain name.
>"Well, duh this stuff works all over the cloud already!"
It's basically a word they use, whenever they don't know shit.

>not .io

According to Google it's a seminar conducted over the Internet.

Because you "program" HTML and CSS?

HTML and CSS aren't programming languages, so no.
You "write" HTML and CSS.

Theres a guy somewhere that actually tought that 192.168.1.1 was his routers domain

'to code' is perfectly acceptable replacement for 'to write' if you're dealing with HTML and CSS

...

>this stuff works all over the cloud already
I even don't understand what exactly he wanted to say.

css is turing complete fag

why does it matter that it's over the internet?

everything related to the internet REQUIRES another word for everything (e.g. cyber-[Insert world here])

A language specification of which JavaScript, JScript and ActionScript are implementations.

You know, the shit that comes out the other end when compiling CofeeScript, Typescript or C-to-asm.js

> e.g. cyber-
uh
I remember adding e- to everything.

virtual reality, preplanning, scrum master, every corporate acronym

I keked

e- passed over my mind, both work the same way but in different contests (e-crime and cyber-commerce aren't quite as effective)
While writing that i noticed that cyber- is used mostly in negative ways.

1. If the stylesheet does not define animations it will halt.
2. It the stylesheet defines animations and:
2a. they loop infinitely, it will not halt;
2b. they loop finitely, it will halt.

Holy shit you guys, I just solved the halting problem!1!!eleven!

I guess its because one of javas original uses was to be run in the browser as an applet.

You know nothing

Uh... good luck trying to force this term. LAN cable has enough precedence at this point that everyone who isn't sticking strictly to aged dictionary definition understands what it means.

When I hear that term, I imagine a babyboomer using Yahoo or AOL and being impressed that they can look up muffin recipes on Ask.com.

>there is some meaning left
There never was and never will be a "cloud". It's just a forced meme created by tech companies that don't want normies to be alarmed about the fact that they have all normie data backed up in data centers that heat this planet up like it's 9/11 all day every day.

>HD
>Full HD

no, fuck off
1080p is HD while 720p is half HD

> 720p is half HD

Fucking this. "Cloud" existed before it was even termed that way.

Fuck you

1080 : Full HD, 2K
1440 : QHD or WQHD (Quad HD, 4*720p)
2xxx I don't remember : Ultra HD, UHD, 4k...

I feel for you man.

If you wanna let the high-up know, killme.io, whatwereyouthinking.io and areyouserious.io are available.

I _think_ goddamnyouretardsrebrandingtoioisthedumbestthingyoucouldpossiblydoihopeyouallrotanddieapainfuldeath.io is also available.

Eh... Things were pretty shitty, even when we got to mess about. The only fun things were setting the gas taps on fire and taking 10x what you were supposed to.

HD is 720p, retard. Full HD is 1080p. Blame marketing for having to add stupid shit to "HD". I agree that "Full" HD was the dumbest move they could've made though.

Big data

Even though it has fallen out of use, no tech term makes me cringe harder than

> Web 2.0

Also "social media".

Fucking asshole retards, just because everyone and their cat has a Facebook profile and loves forwarding clickbaity articles to all their fake internet friends does not mean we are entering a new age of the internet.

"Social media" is neither social, nor is it media.

It's just a polished version of that shit your grandma still does, where she forwards you thirty emails a week containing inspirational .ppt files with Kenny G music in the background.

Forgot to add:

In my opinion, we'll only enter an actual Web 2.0 stage when we achieve full VR browser integration and three dimensional webpage navigation/design.

Think Ed in Cowboy Bebop.

If you could the pixels, 720p is 44% of 1080p.

Because screens also have a width, just in case you forgot.

Well, now I hate one-number resolution marking.

Yup. definitely a big thing. Definitely retarded though. Not that that means it's going away any time soon.

No, that's full HD.
When you buy an HD phone or TV, it's 720p, otherwise it's labeled as full HD

>Big data

I see project managers, scrum masters, agile consultants, and every other kind of tech-illiterate working with software development spam MUH BIG DATA on linkedin.

Wish I had the balls to just call them out on it.

>github

...

What's wrong with that one.

Cloud is fine as a term and makes sense. Retards not knowing what it means doesn't make it bad.

>people use the word "app" out phone/'mobile" things?

I remember the use of 'app' just about when 'executable' started to sound funny when non-techy types started to use computers and you would call Word Pad an executable and they would stare blankley so you called it an application and it quickly shortened to 'app'. Only people who didn't know a time before cell phones would be bothered by anyone calling a computer program an 'app'. It's obvious your referring to a program or an executable rather.

>There never was and never will be a "cloud".
>Actually, there is
great and logical post, friend :^)

I do not get it

The cloud is the internet, which is why its use is stupid in the first place.

Because it was made by Sun Microsystems, as Java was. It was a branding decision. You have Java for managed language programming and you have JavaSCRIPT for scripting.

Different languages but they are, in fact, semi-related.

I am bothered that developers are starting to feed into this retardation, I also have never heard anyone call anything an 'app' before the rise of the modern cellphone. What I did hear was everyone calling an executable a 'program.' There were also the extremely stupid ones who only used email or internet who called their email client "My Email," and Internet Explorer "The Internet."

I program my sprinkler system
I program my VCR
I program my indoor lights

G-d, I hate with passion all of those ``data scientists'' that work with ``big data''. With passion, I tell you.

>phablet

I wrote a blogpost for the company, then sent it to the marketing grill for proofreading.

She told me to rewrite the whole article and to include more buzzwords such as agile and teal organisation so that we get more clicks.

In France, we have the term "uberisation" (uberification, I guess)

Lightning is an actual connector standard you uneducated twat. It's technically a progression on thunderbolt, neither of which have anything to do with USB.

...

"killer app" - one of those stupid news article terms to describe any popular Android/iOS app. Originally, the term described a system/product seller - i.e., you'd buy a PS1 just for Final Fantasy 7, which you can't get anywhere else in the late 90s, so at the time FFVII is a killer app. Today? My dad says bullshit like "you need to start working on the killer app so you can make some real money".

Id say we are in web 3.0 and web 4.0 will be the vr shit.
1.0 was 90s shit
2.0 was when things became sort of standardized in the mod 2000s and you stopped seeing stupid shit ads like "shaky seizure rainbow box: youre the 10000000 visitor"
3.0 is this pleb bullshit facebood youtubers "I dont use addblock because I want to support ((( "content creators" )))), "lets ban adblocker cause its piracy"
4.0 is either going to be vr or when we move past the 3.0 cringe
5.0 will be vr if we actually manage to get rid of the cringe first.
