I mean the boomers of 80s and 90s who were into tech industry surely hangout somewhere. What are those places?

Yeah, there are boomers on ham radio. Whenever they come across me the immediately question how did I get my license. They just want everything to be text book as if they turn the knobs and hit switches while following a manual simultaneously. But I want to know about where they hangout or other online spaces.

They either exist solely on the coast, or are at home with their families. Mostly likely both though.

It's old af and has active forums for myriad old hardware, not just atari stuff. I think it might still be the biggest tech boomer hangout.
assemblergames used to be another one but it's just an archive now.

This, irc. There are also file sharing irc/dcc clubs where real data hoarders go.

Can you name some of those IRC channels? I also want to get access to secret data and files which boomers are clinging onto.

Retirement communities, nursing homes, cemeteries.

Nursing home is like hell where you can hear the wailing and moans of people being tortured.

Yeah you'll see a ton if you search up tech problems and it leads you to forums of boomers getting angry at kids saying "I have 20+ years of experience"

Obscure subreddits, weird youtube corners. Legacy websites that are relics from that time. Or mainly just offline.
