I think any employer instantly loses the ability to say "don't talk politics" when they decide to build software/services for the military :)

For real, I used to love the amount of detail they put on bungie.net . It really is still unmatched even today, as far as I've seen. So good <3

Don't forget the post-game carnage report, which, while first present in Marathon, was refined and provided the best post-multiplayer-game stats of any game I've seen, even years later.

I know what you mean about remembering weird stuff from many years ago. I still remember the IP address of the server of my first website in 1995 (because it had no domain name, I had to know the IP address to show people the website). Oc

That's pure speculation. There's no reason to assume he randomly dropped off a ton of containers full of stuff without having prior communication/arrangement with them, or at the very least, an acknowledgement/acceptanc

Just a reminder that VCF's mission statement is literally "To preserve computing history through education, outreach, conservation, and restoration"[0]. It's pretty egregious that they would destroy such a large collect

In my experience, genuine "clashing of views" with amicable discussions happens pretty frequently on Mastodon. It's pretty astonishing to see sometimes, because it's so unusual for the past X years in online social spac

Wow nice, I would be interested in one of those (preferably the 1.33) if you’d at all be willing to sell directly (and dependent on asking price). I’m in Vancouver BC, Canada.

$25k USD? That does sound really high for a salvage RX-8 in 2009. My 2005 RX-8 was about $12k CAD in 2011 and was not salvage status. Though I guess yours was just a couple years old, mine was older, but still. In regards to reliability,

That's exactly what I did! Thus my original post lol.. I was refuting the parent post's suggestion to "just buy it on Amazon" as if the Amazon return policy is worth paying $100 extra for a $20 radio haha

Uh, on Amazon Canada, the Quansheng UV-K5 is being sold for $125.99 heh

Oh, yeah no in this case you tap ahead of making the transaction. Maybe it preauths a certain amount? But.. I've made purchases of like $350 with Apple Pay, maybe more.

Long before people were modding these I got one for $20 CAD from Aliexpress. The speaker only works intermittently, requiring me to push on the case to get it to work (I guess there's a weak solder joint or something). I contacted th

Yeah depends on the country/jurisdiction - in Canada, an amateur radio certification is valid for life, and doesn't require any sort of re-testing or paid renewal or anything. Pretty nice. One of the few times the government has

You can snag one and listen, just can't transmit. Otherwise, no, no way to legally use it without obtaining an amateur radio certification/license.

Yeah, recently my Apple Watch stopped being usable with the tap terminals at a certain gas station chain here. I have to use the physical card. I use the Apple Watch tap at basically all vendors that accept tap, except this one gas statio

Yeah, I listened to mp3s on my Performa 5260/120. I actually could notice the difference playing 96kbit vs 128kbit mp3s, in how much it affected the computer's performance. Luckily all I was probably doing at the time was chatti

That ultra sucks. Sorry you had to put up with that crap. It's disappointing when people just flagrantly spout their laziest, most ill-informed judgement about things. That stuff is like psychological pollution. I'm glad a lot

Thank you! I've been trying for ages to find where this video was ripped from (as the link I found was very obviously not the original source)!

I have a family member with a cockatoo (goffin) and it's generally afraid when someone has a phone in their hand. Pretty strange, we haven't figured out exactly what the issue is. Placing the phone down on a table to play some m

I mean, you kinda glossed over 1/3 of the issue... how do you quit “the entire world”? I think the person asking for advice wanted a real answer for “how can one deal with this difficulty”, especially because in the work situation, a

You can use any client you like for Mastodon (usually even without logging in, I think that is a server setting) - but by browsing to the instance's domain with a web browser, you're getting a copy of the latest web client, which

That's pretty disturbing. I can't imagine being refused medical service because I didn't accept an Apple or Google EULA/ToS. Truly ominous.
