Big parallel ports? There was some proprietary DB-something connectors (for example, the Olivetti M24/AT&T 6300 had one), but if you're younger than 40 you likely have been using an AT connector (basically PS/2, but phys

Visual Basic for DOS was released in 1992, was from Microsoft, and had a very Windows-like TUI with a form designer and all. They could have used that…

Meh. Saw it at the time. After season 2 I certainly got lost, but not “in it”. The plot always thickens, back then there was the promise/hope that “everything will be explained”, but then the show ended with sooo many loose ends and in

The DiskOnChip was a somewhat popular solution (think of thinclients), often running stripped down versions of Linux in the early 00s. Here you can see it on an external board: https://www.os2museum.com/wp/diskonchip&#x

Very dubious claim, especially given that there is absolutely nothing related to religion mentioned in Dante’s sentence above, and that both Dante and the podestà belonged to the same party (Guelfi), but to opposed factions. Despite referri

Same in Italy (and probably most other EU countries); there's (about 25.000km of) roads that are maintained by a state agency; others are managed by a region, a province or a city. There's also an entirely different agency that n

Classic Vespa does not have an automatic gearbox. Last one without it was probably a PX model in the early 2000s, though.

Batteries can be refurbished with new cells; a family member had a technician recently did this with an e-bike that was bought more than 10 years ago. In the process the cells chemistry was also changed, which means we have a new charger.
