You know how some people have a sympathetic gag reflex if someone is throwing up? That’s me with crying at funerals. Once someone else gets going it’s hard for me to keep it together.
To cope, I crack jokes in my head because it’s easier to fight back laughter than tears, so I concentrate on that.
Basically, try to find something else to focus on instead of all the emotions, but if the emotions come out, that’s all right - it’s a funeral, emotional outbursts are normal.

I remember when I dumped my Tandy CoCo 3… Learned BASIC from analyzing code I typed by hand from magazines. Had a C64 & an Atari SE as well, but used the CoCo the most.
Last week: AI always uses nukes

I’m sure you can’t do it easily, but I’m sure there will be ridiculous AI vibe-coded attempts at making it work that end in a catastrophic failure/data breach/scandal.
I don’t think there will be a DDR6. I think the AI bubble is going to pop & all these data centers will become “mainframe centers” that your minimum spec’d home terminal connects to to do all the computing for you on “Our lightning fast multi-core super computer with terabytes of memory!”
