In tech news, AOL has ended its dial-up Internet service.
Also, did you know that AOL still existed, and still offered dial-up Internet as recently as yesterday, September 30th, in the year 2025?
Itβs official: AOLβs dial-up internet has taken its last bow. The company confirmed it would discontinue the service on Tuesday, September 30th, citing routine evaluations of its offerings. Dial-up is no longer advertised on AOL's website, and former help pages related to the service are unavailable. AOL, formerly America Online, introduced many households to the World Wide Web for the first time when its dial-up service launched decades ago. The creaky door to the internet was characterized by a once-ubiquitous series of beeps and buzzes heard over the phone used to connect your computer online. Eventually, broadband and wireless offerings rose to dominance β but some consumers still use other dial-up offerings today.

I did not know AOL still offered dial-up service!
"AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after its debut β AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day"
It's the end of an era...that I thought ended a long time ago.

The only reason I'm mentioning AOL is because I have You've Got Mail on in the background.
