I'm going to re-post something that I commented in another thread awhile ago: I tend to think it will. Tools replaced our ancestor's ability to make things by hand. Transportation / elevators reduced the average fitness level

My W530 is 13-ish years old and it's still my daily driver. It doesn't travel anymore (now wired into my desk) but still works great running Win 10. I code on this thing all day and so far have only had to replace a fan and give

The US has burned trust well past 4 years. This has shown how the US political system enables this. Every 4 years they elect someone who has the power to just toss out everything the previous administration did or committed to. Every 4 year

We have a large inventory of Brother printers we use onsite at events. We use Samsung for 12+ years until they pulled out of the printer business. We chose Brother mainly because they weren't HP with their toner practices. Now looks

On your last point I tend to think it will. Tools replaced our ancestor's ability to make things by hand. Transportation / elevators reduced the average fitness level to walk long distances or climb stairs. Pocket calculators mad

Agreed to rotating the knob on the second point... but it looks like a touch screen to change modes? Or is it a physical push button under the knob? I may have been unclear on how the knob functions.

Kudos for to the author for the work put into this and the intelligence functions are interesting. I do have a couple concerns though. A. Trying to design down to two knobs makes each knob multi-modal. This removes a lot of muscle memory

I have worn my Pebbles (yes, I have several) every day since I bought the first one at initial launch. Right now I have 3 Pebble Time's going (2 black, one gold). All I want is the Pebble Time 2 that they were so close to launching. I

See I'm the opposite, despite using primarily IBM / Lenovo laptops since it was first introduced (yes, am old) I never found it quicker or more accurate than a trackpad or mouse. The last few laptops I have had I now disable it a

This brings back so many memories. QModem was my go-to for online life back in my BBS days. Your father had an immeasurable impact in enabling the online world, which in turn fostered countless people like me who went on to careers in dev

I hadn't heard about this and thought "swamp rabbit" was some catch term for alligator. Nope! It was actually a rabbit! Thanks for sharing this.

At the time the computer store I worked for sold countless copies of Print Shop. We also had a service at our store where we would lay out and print banners for people. I think it was one of the first tools that got people to consider thei

An outlook like that will really limit who you work with in the future. I don't know anyone, corp or otherwise, that doesn't mess up from time to time. What matters is the acknowledgement of the mistake and taking steps to recti

A personal habit thing perhaps? My Pebble Time is still going strong but I religiously charge it every couple days (around 60%)... as you mentioned, while I showered. Before the most recent battery change I was down to about 48 hours on a

We have several legacy products still running on CF, all running rock solid, but also all ported to Lucee these days. I still like CF but I'm an old fogey that started with it in the late 90's Allaire days. I often wonder if it h

I still have my NX80V tucked away... LOVED that device. Went everywhere with me. I still think the folding design with the flip around screen and rotating camera was one of the most flexible devices that I've ever owned. If I recall

If we really want to get particular there was OV-098, Pathfinder, though being made of wood it obviously was never meant for more than fitment testing. Oddly though it did get the OV designation, not the STA designation.

True! Enterprise was intended to be retrofitted into a flight capable airframe but changes in the design made it unfeasable. Thanks for the catch!

Columbia had slightly more space in the payload bay due to her airlock being internal and not taking up cargo bay space. Other shuttles had to have an external airlock fitted in the payload bay as needed which made them unable to fit AXAF.

In similar fashion we have some large legacy systems on Coldfusion. Last time we needed to upgrade Adobe had gone crazy with their pricing based on CPU core count. Migrated everything to Lucee and OpenJDK and it's been running beauti

The real problem is that it's not marketed that way. WE may understand that but most people, heck even in my experience a large percentage of tech people, don't. They think there is some kind of true intelligence (it's lite
