Top right is a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) machine, used for finding bits of dna in a sample. You might recognize PCR gels from articles about dna stuff.

Bottom right is flow cytometry. Lookin at cells with frickin’ laser beams.

Top left is another pcr machine maybe? frfr

Bottom left is obviously a pizza oven. It’s a capillary electrophorisisiser. Another way to find bits of DNA in a sample ig.

      Same here! I actually really miss beige PCs where the operating system was simple and it wasn’t trying to do a bunch of bullshit behind your back, it was just sitting there waiting for you to use it!

      I mean, you could just install linux on your pc and your machine would do what you told it.

        I did and it helps a lot, but it’s not true for smartphones (i.e. a lot of people’s main computing device) or even game consoles. Enshittification is everywhere and I feel like it gets harder and harder to avoid, especially when you consider laws that demand that you identify yourself with your personal ID to use social media or porn sites or want to install government spyware (e.g. EU’s chat control or what China is doing in general) on your devices.
