  @mysteriouskat I thankfully learned about this phenomenon early. Going back to AOL instant messenger days. I remember talking to friends via chat just felt off and I perceived them differently. I didn't like it. One of the reasons I never joined Facebook once it took off to "find friends"

  Before Broadband, There Was 3Com and U.S. Robotics On June 12, 1997, 3Com completed its $6.6 billion merger with U.S. Robotics, the largest deal the data networking industry had ever seen. At the time, it made obvious sense. 3Com was a major force in Ethernet cards, hubs, switches, and enterprise networking. U.S. Robotics was the great modem brand, helping millions of people get online through phone lines, patience, and that unforgettable dial-up screech that sounded like a fax machine losing an argument. The deal was also a snapshot of the internet before broadband became normal. Offices were being wired with Ethernet. Homes were dialing into the web. Remote workers connected through access servers. Getting online was still something you did deliberately, not something that surrounded you. U.S. Robotics was in the middle of the 56K modem wars, pushing its x2 technology against the Rockwell and Lucent K56flex camp before the V.90 standard settled the fight in 1998. Line quality, compression, compatibility, and a few extra kilobits decided whether the web felt useful or miserable. 3Com brought the LAN side. Ethernet cards in PCs. Hubs and switches in offices. Networks that turned standalone computers into connected organizations. Cisco was becoming the giant in the room, and the market was shifting from selling components to controlling the connectivity stack. The two halves of the deal aged very differently. The modem business was massive, then faded fast as dial-up gave way to cable, DSL, Wi-Fi, fiber, and mobile data. U.S. Robotics became a nostalgia trigger for anyone who remembers waiting for AOL to connect. Ethernet never went away. It moved from office LANs into data centers, carrier networks, industrial systems, cloud infrastructure, cars, and now AI clusters. Speeds, cables, and workloads all changed, and the core idea kept scaling. That is rare in tech. Most technologies age into museums. Ethernet aged into the backbone. Its future still looks strong, because AI data centers, cloud platforms, telecom networks, and edge computing all need more bandwidth, lower latency, and cheaper scale. The merger itself did not age as well. Dial-up was already on borrowed time. Palm, which came along with U.S. Robotics, was spun off in 2000 and briefly worth more than its parent. By that same year, 3Com had spun U.S. Robotics back out as an independent company. The biggest networking merger in history unwound in three years. Still, the deal marks a real turning point. Before broadband, before Wi-Fi everywhere, before smartphones and cloud and AI factories, the internet had to be stitched together one modem, one Ethernet card, and one phone line at a time. For a brief moment, 3Com and U.S. Robotics sat at the center of that transition.

  The early days of AOL were just as bad as current social media except we didn't have it everywhere we went

  @markpinc @jonoringer Consider the source. Buying junk assets and milk them for cash. Not a bad business, but there is no reason to say that how others are doing it is wrong. I ran AOL, and I know.

  I think David Zaslav will go down in media history, with Steve Case, as the two greatest salesmen to ever rip off clueless suitors. Case convinced Time Warner/Gerald Levin that AOL was far more valuable than it was, and Zaslav sold Warner Brothers Discovery for a ruinous price.

  @FCJaymes All I had was AOL IM and very limited texts even in high school, and none of that before haha. Social media is horrible for the mind of a kid. I can't imagine growing up with it. It would have been an entirely different experience, and I doubt in a good way

  20. Connected Account Vulnerability The Situation: Back in 2010, you finally made the jump from Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL to Gmail. To make the transition easier, you linked your old legacy account to automatically forward everything into your new Gmail inbox. You haven't logged into that Yahoo account in a decade. The Mechanics: Legacy email platforms like Yahoo and AOL have notoriously outdated, porous spam filters compared to Google's billion-dollar machine learning infrastructure. By using POP3 or IMAP to pull that mail into Gmail, you are essentially bypassing Google's frontline defenses and piping raw, unfiltered internet sewage straight into your pristine Gmail ecosystem. The Fix: It is time to sever the cord. Go to Gmail Settings > Accounts and Import. Look under "Check mail from other accounts." Delete the legacy connections. If you absolutely still need access to that ancient Hotmail account for banking resets, log into it directly, aggressively clean it, and set up incredibly strict server-side rules there before allowing it anywhere near your primary hub.

  @ChuckGrassley You act like you’re still on AOL and characters are limited so you use those dumb *** abbreviations. How about you shut ******** up and retire

  @GergelyOrosz @PythiaR Never thought that the ScaleAI transaction would work out as a reverse takeover. Echoes of AOL acquiring Time Warner.
