God, I miss daily degaussing. The closest analog these days is manually updating block lists.

Degaussing was fun, but gaussing in the first place was where it was at. Nowdays you can wave magnets at your PC all day and nothing interesting or destructive will happen.

It is a little strange a magnet doesn’t do anything, not that I’ve tried lol. All those years have me trained to not do it.
