I once had a hard drive of some particular vintage that wasn’t able to start. I did actually get it running with a hammer tap. Got the remains of data out and replaced the drive. It was nothing special, a Unix system drive with nothing that wasn’t on tape, but I just had to see if I could fix a hard drive with a hammer.

I also remember one admin who would often be seen walking between computer maintenance room and workshop wing with drives and a blacksmiths hammer labelled “format”.

Psions were pretty amazing. Can’t believe they ran a whole operating system like that on a couple of batteries. Iirc, turning on the LCD backlight doubled the idle power consumption. So the whole system was as heavy as a couple of LEDs.

NeXT is probably the pretty direct ancestor of osx dock. Only Apple turned it from good to bad by moving it to the bottom, where there is no space. And that only got worse as screens became wider, but not taller. And they made it overlap and obscure content and bounce around if you got near it making it extra obnoxious and hard to use.

Other docks existed even before, of course.

I think I’ve seen robot vacuums that have done just that kind of quiet quit. Non robot ones, too, when I think of it.

Some robots could steal food from the refrigerator; some could spray strong perfumes; some could chat up the management then go fuck up a staff person’s work to make them look bad.

So, like a dog.

You could use some sort of caffeine as a workaround. I do since sleep locks don’t always work.

Mitm a website and inject browser exploits? Scanning IP addresses they see downloading? A news article leaving out the vital parts is nothing new though m

Maybe they were just targeting with no actual action. Like they had their sights set on their cardboard tank.

People certainly try with Cyrillic. And kanji?

It’s Nvidia. That’s not going to change.

Protecting children has never been an intention or an outcome with these laws.

I think you’re missing a digit there.

We watched The Marvels. It’s one of the ones I didn’t care about enough to see before but got it from the library now.

It’s kind of bad, but watchable. Sort of pointless and everything is a little bit off somehow. Technical quality is great, of course.

What I didn’t expect is that they’ve sort of nodded at the early 80s Secret Wars era Captain Marvel and even made a bit of comment about the white outfit. Which reminded me that that’s actually one of the first marvel comics I ever read back then and that she was in it. Which was an interesting bit of personal reminiscence.

Never take software from a hardware company.

Often a whole lot of steps are taken before actually going public.

Broadly yes, as a “user”.

Here’s one nice list which also reflects the status of their usefulness. Physical availability varies widely, though.

Unlike Finnish.

I think it’s more like a door slam without a door.

Istr that there’s some genetics involved in which way your legs like to bend. I’ve always bent easily in that direction. I can sit in full lotus easily or e.g. sit on in the floor, legs ahead with heels together and bend forward and rest my forehead on my feet. And there’s many stretches that do nothing for me because I run out of motion before anything gets tight. But legs wider apart, I can almost not sit upright at all. I’m not a flexible person over all.

It’s kind of hard to describe, but anyway. Took me until I was many many years old until a yoga instructor told me it kind of varies from person to person how easy some motions are.

There’s two ways to really do two things at once. Either you find a way to make them one more complex thing in your mind, or you juggle your focus between them.

This is good for things like reading aloud, reading music, playing two rhythms with different limbs, dancing or other choreography etc.

Well, since neither of you seems to want to post references, I’ll add a link.
