I believe Six Flags over Georgia had an actual IMAX dome that I remember as a kid - a projector experience of short films such as flying airplanes, racing cars and such.

I actually feel like questions should be _genuinely_ discussed earlier than the article suggests; more like tweens minus the virginity question.

I feel as if the feedback would be less obstructed the earlier the discussion takes place. My children are young and we have already had discussions above their age level on a handful of these topics.

I actually bought and wore the back orifice t-shirt from the CdC website in high school. Did any machines have that software installed? Maybe.

FWIW these slotket adapters and such for compatibility on the right boards, usually Abit, Asus, and maybe even MSI back then, Well they had REAL overclocking abilities - How fast is your RAM and what kind of clock settings can the motherboard get away with in terms of multipliers? This was the earlyish days of overclocking - Celerons and Pentium IIs

I once had a Celeron 600 in one adapter for compatibility and then that was in Slot II to Socket 370 adapter, something comparable to [1] happily chugging along at 1.2Ghz, maybe even got that bad boy up to 1.4Ghz under Windows ME of all the OS before I eventually fried that CPU.

I used Pocket Stars on Windows Mobile during it's brief tenure of existence on this planet; thanks.

I’ve been in a wreck and burned by the hot explosive gases filling those harsh burlap sacks known as air bags; I am opening a window or door ASAP too.

It’s funny how advertising depicts air bags as these soft pillows when they are anything but inviting during the moment of deployment.

I got one yesterday I ignored

I took was an early adopter of gmail and I imagine a person could guess what my email address is, especially if I said I keep forgetting my HN passwords.

Misplaced periods give me all sorts of other people's emails - new cars, new mortgages, new bank accounts, new home purchases that are not in my name or identity (based on the names I understand the confusion) - all sorts of things that I'm not doing IRL. Sometimes I try to reach out to the sender and get them to correct the email address, sometimes I just unsubscribe

For what it's worth we've wanted to own a Tesla for a long time to own an EV. The overpriced nature and all the terrible things I've read about the build quality continually shied me away from actually spending money or even leasing one.

That is until I just so happened to make a little extra money on TSLA stock by accident. I then turned around and found a salvage title, dirt cheap, home wall-charger included 2018 Model 3 and sold off some that TSLA profit for a free car for my wife. We've owned it long enough to confirm all "the build quality is crap" rumors. I'm a mechanically inclined person and I'm not idiot so I have taken the car apart enough to verify it is safe and it isn't dangerous (salvage title, total loss vehicle) but once you start taking things apart you see the corners they've cut where other car manufacturers do it differently - things like water drainage and body panels alignment is just too easy to spot if you've owned 15 cars over 30 years.

Long story short, I wouldn't buy a new one. I certainly wouldn't spent my _hard earned_ money on one. But I don't mind gambling a bit on a rebuilt title mass-produced one. That's about the level of trust I have in Elon's ability to build a quality automobile.

They are ok cars but everything you've heard about build quality and defects is absolutely true. I've never attempted to use the autopilot because I value my life.

As a sysadmin, I frequently deploy 7zip via .msi to all machines that I think might even have the slightest use to open archive files. It's not that the OS doesn't support .zip it's that the OS ONLY support .zip out of the box and the OS .zip file manager is inadequate in many troubleshooting scenarios.

Sometimes you need to split archives Sometimes you want to open a non-standard file type with something to unpack it (.xlsx/self extracting .exe) Sometimes you've got Software Restriction Policies that prevent standard %temp% extraction installers from running and need to manually extract a package.

This is the short list

I'm about two decades removed by mainstream media news/cable tv programming. I'm an American but I don't consume any news or television programming I watch netflix sometimes? Reddit/HN? Whenever we cut the cord many ideas left our household with the cable TV box.

Signal is what you use if you want your chats subpoenaed

This comment is accurate and should be at the top

This is the strangest ask HN question I have ever seen on this site.

The person that made the suggestion to Sanitize your profile and remove the employer has a sense of self preservation.

Is it 8 AM in California yet?

The sniper in mahwah blog is a great reading series on Microwave towers and other information you can glean https://sniperinmahwah.wordpress.com/2019/03/26/4-les-moeres...

The last one I bought was small and cost $300 new

It’s the domain join instead dark pattern at the bottom of the screen

I can successfully say I never enrolled in Prime. I always thought the dark patterns around it were deceptive and deceitful - unfortunately they've gotten away with it for so long and bilked so many people and padded their forward accounting statements for so long with this revenue that I doubt any fine from the FTC has any real teeth to stop them from doing it again.

FWIW I still keep about six figures on Coinbase in crypto The day the SEC sued Coinbase back I made a large purchase of $COIN when the stock tanked. This is my personal risk/conviction level.

The SEC is bought and paid for, I wouldn't trust the SEC to protect me from anything.

I'll take off my tinfoil hat now. Everyone have a nice day. I'm not a financial advisor and I'm not shilling anything for coinbase

Wow that’s an extremely interesting side channel

I'm definitely a push-away user. I'll never pay them money to use their site and I rarely comment in the ten years or so I've had an account. Same goes for HN; I would never pay money to use this site - I would just find a new site to frequent. I understand this is unfortunate for the website operator but I consider operating a web server at this point a labor of love, not a business model.

This sounds danger close to metaverse speak

Couldn't reccomend OpenWRT as opposed to any stock vendor firmware enough. Simple-adblock is a godsend

mmmm-hmmm

My Honda source say they “fixed” this in 2022+ meaning signed CAN bus messages and John Deere level ECU signing on headlight bulbs.

In fairness the headlights were probably a $500 LED board anyways.

Kill switch on the fuel pump relay and a removable steering wheel. I'm actually using the ECU signal to fuel pump as my kill switch and I have my amplifier remote turn on the same circuit.

The stereo in the trunk is a big red herring because if you yank it out the car isn't going to crank pal.

14 years of my life spent supporting debt collection attorneys and their OpenVMS based debt collection software… never again.

Great article on supporting and troubleshooting and the setup of OpenVMS

Yes this is exactly the slang

Truly a "follower"

It means reinventing the wheel is going to yield a square. But not just a square but a new and exciting square where many people who once had money no longer have money because it was transferred to another pool of liquidity and those poor souls still left outside in the cold will not be made whole.
