Note that there is another Comet (4B variant, so one of the later ones) preserved at the National Collections Center [1] near Swindon. However it is not available to view [2]. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science

PhD student here, working on 5G systems. I too would be very interested in this. Email in my profile - and am happy to link you to my academic email once you've reached out if you want to confirm my academic credentials :)

Fantastic footage, many many thanks for uploading it. Have you considered openly licensing it under creative commons of some sort?

Part of the reasons for the loss at the BBC was due to copyright / licensing issues. > Long-standing agreements with UK talent and musicians unions made it difficult too. Most UK television programmes were only ever contracted for o

No, please, the UI is one of the best things about it. I can run YouTube on my 20-year-old iMac G4 (PowerPC G4 processor, 1GB of RAM) and it ... just works. Most other sites fail completely - Gmail Basic HTML view and Hacker News being two

An earlier (1968) venue with a similar concept was "The Birds Nest", a pub / nightclub in the UK. > They renamed The King’s Head, an almost brutalist post-war booze bunker at 2 King Street, installing a state-of-the-art st

Nitpick: the lack of the FM radio stems directly from the lack of headphone jack - the radio relied on wired earphones to work as they were used as an antenna. So losing the FM radio is more a consequence of the decision to remove the headp

If you are interested in the translations, another copy of the video [0] on YouTube has baked-in English translations. Disclaimer: I don't speak Korean, so cannot vouch for their accuracy! [0] - https://www.youtube.com/

There are several options. LiveCode [1] (formerly open source, now closed) can open HyperCard stacks and is compatible with round 85% of the native syntax - so some things will work, and some bits will need rewriting. I am pretty sure they

Interesting. But was it ever developed commercially? I can't find any consumer products actually using the counter (either for rental or for lock/jam-after-certain-plays). But that could just be because I'm using the wrong se

Do you have any more information on this? It sounds really interesting, and I'd love to learn more!

I still use LXDE, the predecessor to LXQT, on my daily driver: a Thinkpad T420 (~12 years old) with 8GB RAM. Low resource usage is the main reason I use LXDE. I often need to run several (4+) VMs, each of which can eat up to 2GB RAM. (These

Of course, in my haste to post, I forgot the most important bit - the link to the advert itself! [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6jrYeBA7BA

To add some context for those not in the UK or Europe... I am guessing the advert you are referring to is the "Get lost in great stories" one [1] run in Vue cinemas. Other UK cinemas (Picturehouse, Odeon) mention the "big scr

This is exactly what I have found! StreetComplete encourages me not only to take regular walks, but also to explore new areas local to me that I haven't previously visited (since, after a while, you need to move to a new area to find &

The easiest thing to do for such cases is to add a note, perhaps with a picture of the building if you're comfortable. There must be folk who dedicate their time to searching the OSM database for unresolved notes, because whenever I le

It is a side-by-side comparison of OSM data from 2012 (left) and the current OSM data. In my local area the difference is massive: the 2012 data has some roads but that's about it, no buildings, house numbers, etc. That's all pres

You might want to contact SalmonSnail [1]. They've been digitizing a massive amount of lost / forgotten 35mm slides, and uploading them to their Flickr account [2]. [1] https://www.timewormarchive.com/contact [2]

I'm not sure I agree with this. The prices that things sold at might have been cheaper 20 years ago, but the advent of the web with used-goods marketplaces has allowed people to access things that were previously not available or hard

This used to be the case in the UK. There were a few companies that would install solar panels on your roof, at no cost to you. You could use the electricity generated by the panels at no cost. The catch was that the companies took the feed

Am I the only one sad to see the original machine gutted out? I get that these machines aren't particularly useful (I have one myself) but it really does seem a shame for it to be modified in this way.
