The .com site serving malware aside, it's how people even get to downloading this. PC builder [...], USB stick [...], YouTube tutorial for a new build [...] instructed to download. Makes me wonder, is this how "PC builders" b

Today's broadcasting truly is a beautifully evolved piece of engineering. For a guy like me who dabbles in time / frequency synchronisation, this is a great example of a use case that physically malfunctions without sync. ...but t

All the way up to 2004 or 2005, my home router was an old 486dx box running FREESCO ( https://freesco.info/ ) - and it was, indeed, booting from a single floppy. Linux 2.0.something. To my surprise I discovered today that FRE

Love the game, it just ramps up pretty slowly. Looking at the comments and people trying to verify what the real maximum score is. I wrote a (Cartesian) snake for fun once, that was Pascal and an obscure 8-bit platform, but most fun was the

I have been guilty of adding a custom header to all of my emails: "Yo-Momma: Fat". For years. In a professional setting. Nobody noticed.

Remember those little LED keychains for your "mobile phone" that would magically light up when taking/making calls and sending/receiving texts?

Completely agree on the curved keyboards. BB Classic was the last proper one and I loved it. Android app compatibility was spot on as well, where it failed, not to RIM's fault, was that you had to hack around google play services, and

Well, seems to have all the right ingredients: - PKB (check) with gestures / navigation (check) - Customisable, colour notification LED (check) - Unified inbox (check). So far though only BB got all of it right though - very curious ho

This. Speak to type I can understand, to a degree, but for proper voice control to be quick and effective and anything more than a gimmick, it would need to rely on some shorthand - kind of how full-on screen reader action for those visuall

As for the typing itself, just curious, were you a Blackberry user in the past? I was for 15+ years, but I've never used a Unihertz. But my typing experience was always running circles around every poor soul with a touch keyboard. As t

As much as I am aware of how much low value, bottom-of-the-barrel shit flows via LinkedIn - my connections, and the resulting feed, are well curated, and I actually enjoy using LI and for me it's become a genuinely useful news feed for

I giggled at Monkey Island and then I saw the tentacle... but from Half Life. This is a masterpiece and it keeps on giving.

Photon was what I was hoping for before I clicked the link. One of my favourite GUIs, closely tied with CDE. Photon or not, I hated the period where they sort of moved to canned BSP deployment only, where in 6.5 I could just develop on a li

I was going to mention Planet before I saw your follow-up comment. I bought their Gemini, and it seemed interesting for a while, but being a phone with a keyboard, still effectively a phone, battery life wasn't great and again a phone,

Well you're no fun, Sir... While I'm morally tempted to do the same, many of the apps guilty of this are the major ones one uses, and as time goes by, I somehow find myself with less and less time on my hands, so I have to be sele

Really good results. And I understand the disclaimer when you try the comments section, but it would be amazing to see hallucinated comments as well.

All hail the mighty Wombats! The "completely drunk" comment made me chuckle, too familiar... poor choices, but good times! This is more about OpenBSD, but worth mentioning that nicm of tmux fame also worked with us in the same lit

Back when I was a sysadmin (sort of 2007-2010), the preference of a colleague (RIP AJG...) who ran a lot of things before my time at the org, was FreeBSD, and I quickly understood why. We ran Postgres on 6.x as a db for a large Jira instanc

Even without LOC, there's also TXT. In my work lab (size of a medium DC, tonnes of devices from a variety of vendors) we used formatted TXT records to store things like: rack elevations, host/port for serial access server, switche

I am me and I approve this message. The habitats, the people, the robots, and a beautiful theme song by the great Joan Baez. Silent Running is a great film indeed.
