I would love to see open source copies of those. Apparently they use NO power unless you press their buttons which means they can last for years.

After years of driving a several Mercedes E-Class cars, I now drive a 2004 Jeep Cherokee (not the 'Grand Cherokee'... In the US my Jeep is called the Liberty). It's very basic compared to my Mercs, but oddly I enjoy driving i

Thanks for stopping by! No, that car was bought by a friend of mine who relocated to Mexico, and found out he could buy one even though he didn't know how to drive. Hence the end result. Bizarrely a while later he bought another one an

Oooh my site (jaruzel.com) qualifies for 'Orange team'. I doubt I'll go to the effort of doing a Pull Request on GitHub to get it included. Nice Idea though.

I like to think of it as 'early' Heinlein and 'late' Heinlein - although both periods are very enjoyable, sometimes it as if it's two different authors.

If you are in city with lots of 'premium' coffee shops, Starbucks is generally considered the worst of the 'premium' brands. However, every other shop in large city is a Starbucks, so for many convenience of locale wins

Technically this is true, however UAE, one of the most popular Amiga emulators comes with a free replacement ROM from the AROS project, which although not fully compatible can run some games.

It's entirely possible to build a 'dumbphone' with a nano sized linux SBC(like a Pi zero) and a 4G add-on board. You'd really have to want to do this though, but it would be a good learning project.

I'm going to get flamed for this... but why would you need TLS/https on services that are ONLY accessible from inside your home network? If you have bad actors on your network, you've got bigger problems than un-secure websit

I typically don't grieve like other people. Mainly it's due to me having very low empathy. I've lost family members, and close friends, and I've not cried over it.[1] I do feel slightly sad that they've 'gone a

The nice thing about 2.5gb/s is that you can still use existing CAT5e/6 cable runs (albeit at shorter distances). I really want to start seeing 2.5gb/s becoming standard on Desktop motherboards asap.

Now you say it, I'm not sure either tbh. During that period I was principally an NT user, and I never really used 95/98. When I get a mo, I might fire up an NT VM and see what actually happens. Maybe.... .bat and .cmd DO both run

Nope. Well, not without some extensive DNA meddling, to the extent that it may LOOK like a dinosaur, but it really isn't. Putting aside the DNA issue (see other comments), there's also environmental issues - the atmosphere during

Back in the 90s, I recall something similar. Due to cost of hardware, networking wasn't as hi-tech as it is now. So it would be common for medium sized office buildings to have CAT3/5 cables trunked from everywhere in the building
