I think you both are arguing about how to fight a bear with your bare hands. To win in that, you simply need to not fight with a bear. Let's say someone made an expansion board with a cool feature: there are 5 documented I/O addre

I've been using an old Symbian phone with the same Class Not-That-Good SD card bought back then. In the early 2010s, I copied a lot of MP3 files and ebooks there, and used the camera to take photos occasionally. Then it was no longer u

Anyone who decided to make a catalogue for any decent enough library found that out on the first day. (By “decent enough” I mean breadth. If you are strictly collecting some genre products from a small number of commercial publishers, you m

This is actually both. It's not a big secret to journalists that such stories are just another kind of entertainment that never fails to attract the public. Certain people constantly work in that genre. Readers want to be assured that

Smaller, 6-bit code pages existed before and after that. They did not even have space for upper and lower case letters, but had control characters. Those codes directly moved the paper, switched to next punch card or cut the punched tape on

With current size of the network, it's probably managed by sending messages to operators chat “Hey, IP a.b.c.d is doing that again”. Remember that Fido and Usenet relied on independent server admins voluntary enforcing the rules for gl

This is something a clueless TV marketer would say, I suppose. Both tools can be used to both build private networks managed by a single entity, and to connect to global shared volunteer-run network. Reticulum is not a general purpose proto

Those are different weight classes. If I recall correctly... Reticulum is a protocol and a set of ideas about basic building blocks for data exchange. Let's say you have some rusty wet wires (a serial link) or an antenna. You need to s

What you're saying is “Fat, ugly, flat-chested, etc. women are not real women, I only care about my kind of true women, please only show me these”. That's exactly what I was talking about. The measure to define women in your head

As many others, you believe that by talking about certain things you're directly touching “real”, “material”, “physical” world. So-called humanities — barely even taught to so-called educated public — could help you see how that sp

I think that you misunderstood me. Sadly, philosophy is completely absent from “required” education in our “enlightened” world (or presented as narrow-minded bean counting), so capturing “evident things” as results of the thought process is

The idea that there are straightforward “female” and “male” traits should seem quite shaky to anyone who is even a little bit into humanities. The problem is that both sides of the equation are constructs of the mind, both the thing we woul
