My first one already was a 28k one, shortly after followed by the 56k one my parents then kept using for the next 15 years, so I don’t quite share your unique experience here… :-)

They didn’t use an acoustic coupler as in the image any more, you are correct ;-)
The noise was also still emitted by the more modern variants during dialing and connection establishment, and as I was reading the meme’s text without paying much attention to the symbolic picture, I instantly thought of the standard 56k modem we still had. -

Or worse, get dialed up yourself by a faxmachine with a wrong number in its memory.
It will try. And try. And try.
And at some point, you will just shut down your phone and hope it is over soon when the remote side finally cancels the unsuccessful sending operation. -

Is this a screenshot of the computer monitor of your neighbour across the street taken during a winter solstice night using a gen 1 Iphone attached to a Mickey Mouse magazine gimmick plastic telescope?

I havent seen a modem like that in 40 years
My parents still used one until about 15 years ago.
Downside of living in the nice rural, but broadband-free, countryside… -

Serious headbanging instead on my side!

I always thought more that it sounded musical somehow.
But then again, I am a huge fan of things like Progressive Industrial Death Metal, so maybe this doesn’t amount for much…

on New website lets drivers check whether their license plate has been searched on Flock database - Dexerto in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
The first thing that came to my mind also.
This sounds like another privacy nightmare put on top of the already more than questionable Flock installations.

Looks sick!
My setup might just be able to handle it, I think.
But on the other hand, my backlog is full and I even have the first Alan Wake still left to play :-)
Percentage of age group 60-80 is only 17.1% in Munich.
(Compared to e.g. 19.4% in Berlin, 19.2% in Köln or 24.5% in Chemnitz)
Whatever their issue is in Munich, I am afraid it does not correlate specifically with the amount of Boomer inhabitants…
