   I wonder what the bandwidth limit would be if you took 44.1kHz audio transmission to the extreme. Something like 56k6 modems?

   A combination of indexed markdown documents, org-mode with orgzly (android) and devonthink (macos) as a gui Thinking of using TiddlyWiki as gui again as it works with Firefox Reality in the Oculus Go and Quest, but it doesn't work well

   I don't want to miss out on the commute as it takes me out of my home environment out into the world, it provides exercise and I can see, hear and feel my colleagues and the inner workings of the company in high resolution stereoscopic

   how would this sink differ from using the sun as /dev/null - other then that you might disrupt potential stellar consciousness?

    Works with Wine, I'd like a port to Linux Arm64 though, it's a nice graphic file manager. On the other hand, ranger is adequate.

    The constructed language Ithkuil is, among other things, designed to have a higher transmission rate. Here are documents and ideas about the upcoming new 2.0 language version: http://www.ithkuil.net/new_morpho-phonology_v_0_

    Nice, I remember using the crop function in my mobile pdf readers. Nowadays I OCR all my pdfs into ePub/markdown so I can grep, reflow, RSVP speed read and text-to-speech them.

    I used a twiddler and a frogpad for wearable computing, but decided on inputing through morse, voice or on screen keyboard (like oculus go/quest or daydream) and do the rest with a regular tweaked dvorak keyboard

    There also was the Encyclopedia Brittanica, not sure how it compares to Encarta. I remember getting it on DVD or CD and choosing it instead of Encarta. No idea where it went. I'm not sure if the information is better or more complete

    If you support stereoscopic VR view with for example A-Frame it can run in Firefox Reality everywhere. Oh wait, someone did something like it https://drawvr.com/minecraft/

    is there a benefit to using firefox with puppeteer compared to chromium and puppeteer? or is it just a matter of choice and being able to also use firefox for automated testing?

    I like it that way, it reads like a story and it IS a good story. Not everything in tech or HN has to be to the point and a collection of facts, some narrativity is ok

    Hi Joel, there is talk of gradual retreat by the experts. This was published in popular Dutch magazine (and perhaps talked about in talk shows, but I don't watch them), it was also published on the NOS site (the national news). Here is

    But Why... I know the answer and the site gives a good explanation. But still, practically speaking? Who cares about CP/M, perhaps because it's the only useful OS running on 8 bit processors? Does CP/M have something DOS does

    ha no, i don't think so :-) All these devices didn't exist when the floppy drive went out of vogue. I'm not sure if there even are USB floppydisk drivers for Android or iOS. Technically Android is linux (and iOS bsd) so I sup

    That's why the Oculus VR intro with the floppy's is also so nice, it has a nice haptic/tactile feel to it.

    Excellent, I did similar experiments in the past. RealAudio (ACELP) with Helix is also an efficient option, but Opus is the best. For more quality you can reformat your floppy with 2MF 3.0, it gives you 2 megabytes on a floppy instead of 1.
