Avanti for your time.... i want to restomod one

So we finally replaced the 6 year old computers at my work that ran XP for new ones on 7. Now 6 years isn’t usually that bad, but these have run almost constantly on for 6 years... So it was time. Plus we needed a new server to house the new GM EPC because it required more free space than we have HD to begin with. So super exciting, had to download a program to make the taskbar not FUCKING stupid, but that’s ok. Though hectic while in the middle of the work day. Now that there is some down time I thought I would check out whats up here when....

The hell??? I never had this problem before....

Youtube is fine, Facebook is fine... It only seems to be embedded video. Why? Why would you block that and not the parent site of youtube? I tried all the obvious logins, but admin password didnt work....

Ugh.. that sounds miserable, I hate companies blocking sites.

Also, these 90’s “razor” style wheels are an affront to nature/good design.

Right. Why only block embedded though. And why now with the new computers? Didn’t happen with the old ones.

Yes they are terrible!!!!

Heh, that’s because whoever the admin is sucks at their job. Apply your filters site-wide, not just on embedded objects.

Funny thing is that those Centerlines were considered “Bad Ass” in the 90s.

Looking back... Yeesh.

They’re distinctly from that era and the car is not, which is why I’m a big fan of period correct mods.
