Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Never in my entire life have I ever used FireWire.
It was my main port for close to a decade.
I still have a Firewire 800 drive connected through a Thunderbolt 2 adapter in use right now.
It was noticeably faster for external hard drives than USB 2.0 back in the day (though if anything I miss eSATA).
There's still some Windows XP-era A/V equipment still in use at work that is Firewire.
...not just faster; firewire devices self-hosted, so they could manage data transfers without your machine needing bus-master interrupts...
so smooth
