   I watched How It's Made with my kids for a good number of years, and I was just amazed that the parts that were automated worked as well as they did. It made manufacturing look really complicated and that human hands were the most i

   Whatever else you want to want to say about our current president, "The People" did not vote him in. The fact that he's President really is going back to the founding fathers' intention, and why we have an Electoral Co

    Yeah, reception to your in-car receiver was ridiculous. We switched over to internet-only for $8 a month and stream to our phones. I swear the bitrate is higher, too.

    My MessagePad 2100 could do AppleTalk over it's serial port and wired Ethernet with a card. There was also a pre-wifi DigitalOcean device[0] that could do wireless AppleTalk. [0] https://web.archive.org/web/1997012

    Based on the non-fiction book[0] by Nelson Johnson. The show is very entertaining, while taking a number of liberties with the source material. I liked it a lot, and I'm in the process of re-watching it. It is also very graphic in it

    uMatrix is good for that. You can default block facebook scripts/cookies/etc. everywhere, but on facebook allow them. It's how I block google everywhere except when I'm logging into gmail.

    Your company probably isn't as important to the world as Google. To the point, though: go read the Reuters article[0] linked from TFA. They're not pulling out of Turkey; they're refusing to license software to "business

    Classic example of a social media dissenting opinion. "I don't agree with TFA, so clearly they're lying. It's okay, I don't need anything more than my gut instinct to disagree."
