Is that a 3D printed Lego gear at 12'40" in the video?

No, they will need suits from SpaceX that fit.

Maybe parent refers to Mindstorms NXT, which imho is much more fun than EV3 or Spike.

> Had to use the Lego software to update the firmware for that, which only runs on Windows 7, 8, and 10.

You can do that on Debian, hint "apt search nxt". Or go here https://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/

>The amount of killed tweeters I have seen would not have happened with an active speaker.

My 1978 (no brand) speakers are still in excellent condition, so are the 1991 Bose. Hifiberry works fine. ymmv

You mean Ronin Dex from Stargate Atlantis...

Yes, and 64-bit!

I was expecting this as the top comment. We learned about centuries in school when I was 9 or 10 or something and nobody found this a hard issue to tackle.

> Lastly lets talk about employees, you hire someone and they don't work. In Europe you cannot just term them and give them a severance package of a few weeks.

This is not true! If a newly hired employee does not work, then you can fire them immediately.

Dreamcast logo curls the other way...

January 13 1984 he switched to using Debian :)

Nokia had the phone market for several years, and was toppled.

Internet Explorer had +95% market share for a decade, and was toppled.

Wordperfect was taught in schools and used everywhere, and was toppled.

Altavista (advanced search) was the best, and was toppled.

It seems to me that these complaints about MS and Windows have been more or less the same since Windows 95/NT4. Yet somehow most people keep using it because 'gaming' or because 'corporate'? Or because Mac or Linux are not good enough?

Reading all the comments in these discussions I consider myself lucky to never have made the switch 'to' Windows. After triple booting DOS/W98, OS/2 and Linux for a while in the nineties, it was just Linux after 2003 because it is easy and it just works.

Also used Macbooks several years at work and the OS never got in the way of productivity. To me at least MacOS appears to work fine.

Michael Collins' book Carrying the Fire proves that the sixties were vastly different to today.

For example people died while training to become astronauts, because the training was hard. This would be impossible today; the first time someone breaks so much as a leg the whole project would be suspended and several committees would need time to evaluate...

And unless there is a minimum password age some people will just change it 20 times and then back to the same password.

> A console could also refer to a physical device, although I'm not aware of it being used in this context.

I thought that the console is used for any device (or application) that listens to /dev/console (at least on Linux).

> Chinese knockoffs and other junk products

As if most of the originals aren't made in the very same factory in China.

I just keep a server (3 euro/month) online that listens to SSH on port 443. From there I can connect to anywhere.

I assume that a firewall exists that blocks ssh over 443 while allowing HTTPS, but have not encountered that yet.

Nothing beats Lotus123 :)

Thanks.

I feel you, got the mail today saying I need 2FA by January 19th. So bye bye github and thanks for all the fish.

Codeberg looks interesting. (I have most git stuff also on a private server.)

I don't mind 2FA if it is password and email, but github's 2FA requires an app (but I have no smartphone) or a GSM number and they ain't getting that.

I am late to this thread... but have years of experience as a volunteer for blind people.

My tips: 1. iPhone 2. The best help comes from other blind people! They all work with the screens turned off and use voiceover. This is a different way of looking at menu's and navigating the phone than what seeing people do. But they perfectly understand each other when explaining navigation of apps.

> So lets be clear about the fact, China is not closing the gap, they are falling further behind.

SpaceX is rapidly increasing the gap with all (government) space agencies, even the US/NASA and EU/ESA; both SLS and Ariane 6 are decades behind.

I had most fun with "Lego Mindstorms NXT Power Programming" by John C. Hansen.

Collins’ autobiography Carrying the Fire is also an excellent book to get a feel of the 1960ies. Like four (out of twelve?) people dying during training because, well it's a really hard training. In 2023 if so much as one person gets an injury then the project is suspended for years until a committee decides it is safe again.

I didn't get de-banked, but did have my card blocked by the bank once, so since then I have two banks, and use them both about equally. So if there is a problem with one bank, then I can still get food and stuff.

Against the law, yes. How do you know it does not happen?

Phone books were local, as in the neighbouring couple hundred thousand people max, so about one in ten thousand less than current social media.

And, at least here, they contained last name and one letter of the first name. No information on gender/interests/articles read/ads clicked/locations visited/family/friends/devices used/apps installed/items bought/...
