51% disapprove and 44% of approve. It is kinda crazy that we only have 5% left who still just aren't concerned one way or another.

If you have the money for it and really want to go hardcore into the scene, you might look into an FPGA like the Super-nt. They typically aren't like all of those emulation boxes out there, compatible with real SNES cartridges and accessories but don't have to worry about the issues with aging hardware and works mostly native with modern TVs/etc. It's very expensive, but it's also definitely very cool.
Full text is 'Below are some types of visual media that some might consider old or outdated. Which, if any, have you used in the past year?' and that is an item on the list, it's not an incredibly detailed survey.
I will say from the rest of the survey responses, the demographics they've selected seem to lean more technically competent and security focused than I'd expect.
Shit, I think we've all been asking ourselves that on a regular basis for years now and here we are still regularly surprised.
Man, that rumor may have spread nationwide, or else I think I knew that guy.

Actual question references "Classic videogame systems that came out before 2000, like the NES or GameBoy" and "used at home in the past year" of which 14% responded yes out of a group of 2022 surveyed in North America (demographic details available in link).
Yeah, it's kind of hard to come up with a cutoff. There's lots of really old vague theories that had the right idea. Eventually you get to the point where you're thinking that there was probably a caveman somewhere who built a fire in a cave and wondered what would happen if the whole world filled with smoke.
From a science perspective, Svante seems to have mostly had it, but applying the science really started to coalesce in the 1950s. The American Petroleum Institute actually funded a study in 1959 to figure out if they were really going to destroy the planet. Their findings were a bit more extreme than what actually worked out, they thought New York would be underwater around 1990, but it pretty well established things.
Ocarina of Time soundtrack lives in my head rent free too. For me, its usually Lost Woods, everyone who played remembers the tune even if they don't know the name.
I know this was a joke, but I was kinda wondering when we first started talking about Climate Change as an issue.
It looks like some guy in Sweden named 'Svante Arrhenius' was the first to really get everything properly worked out and documented back in 1896, but the first time it really started to go mainstream seems like it was with 'economist William Nordhaus' back in 1975 just feeling like it might be starting to become a real problem.
The multiple instances of the word 'Cloud' floating by at varying speeds in the background is what really does it for me.
Definitely art.
Not sure if this is optimistic or not, I feel like it's going to suck for awhile until we just don't trust anything digital ever again. There will just be an assumption that anything digital is not real. We'll go back to "If it's on the internet, it must be true" being a joke. Also not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
I don't think there is a good one. It sounds like this is another one of those things where the rules were mostly relying on the idea that the people wouldn't elect someone who was expected to try to do something like this.
