Mindlessly consuming content for hours on end is 'silly'. It's easier than doing something worthwhile, sure. Our society wasted a lot of hours doing idle things yet complains we don't have time to be social or get other things done. People aren't lonely, just too lazy to try. Yet they can watch every episode of Below Deck and feel ok with how they have spent their lives...

They may have way too much free time, they just choose to spend it passively watching shows instead of being actively engaged in an activity. Indoors vs outdoors probably doesn't matter as much as how they are choosing to spend their free time in the first place. Are they indoors doing home renovations or art projects? Or simply binging the next new show on the couch?

Hah amazing! I still don't get why he would have expected video when we were still struggling for bandwidth at the time, too soon!

Almost as lame as the original iPods that couldn't play video, but coined the original term "pod" cast?

A podcast is audio.

A large amount of small reactors would most likely need to be remotely managed. Think of it as a very large IoT toaster just begging to be played with.

Unpredictable compression ratios weren't as much of a concern for me as physical failure. The bad taste was from having to unspool an entire backup tape onto the floor with a hand drill to get the tape reader operable again. All of this just so I can load another tape from the previous week to attempt a moonshot at restoring services before everyone wakes up.

You can test your restores all you want, but in an emergency, there is a chance it's going to jam up like a printer and destroy your backup at the same time.

Associated advertising by source IP address. Happens all the time, I see ads pop up on my wife's computer that are definitely meant for me, and based on searches she would never think of.

Correct the collaboration and integrations are far better. Our collaboration on documents has improved heavily just by Office365 alone, the Teams integrations to documents and dashboards makes for awesome project-based channels. Slack didn't do anything but cause distraction and people responding with terrible custom emojis (a feature I will never miss).

Why does it have to be digital? A sample is a small portion of a whole, digital, analog, regardless of the medium.

These are recordings of a sample of parts from instruments.

On the other side. someone with road rage isn't going to care about others so much either (you) and possibly risk their own life, and yours, just out of frustration.

Being excessively considerate of others on the road is safer from my experience.

I have never worked a real farmers day of work in my life. I sit at desks and use computers for up to 8 hours a day. I have never worked a field, built a house, or done anything significantly physical for work ever. This is not unusual.

"Gold Rush! Classic", $2.99 on Steam. Runs in DOSBox just fine.

Exactly. How about those shared ketchup bottles and salt/pepper shakers in most diners?

Everything could be gross to touch if you really think about it too much. Your phone is probably worse than any menu.

Exactly, I love pre-glass instrumentation. I still fly DME arcs manually all the time... in flight simulator.

I have flown gliders though, which helps avoid excessive technology.

This was a more detailed story on the recovery: https://arstechnica.com/science/2014/09/the-little-known-sov...

Lots more details, including transcripts of some of the procedures, such as the opening of the hatch.

Not unusual... I have two metal towers running through the back third of my property. The flickers love to bang on them, it really amplifies the sound. I assumed it was more a mating/attention thing.

That sounds like the protection the police get! Look out for your own, screw everyone else.

In car radio, it's adding honking horns to the ads. Ringing phones... things that should just be left alone.

I had the DOS version. It was our 80s version of 3d printing, on dot matrix. I had built everything in the app by the end of it and my parents bought a lot of refills of their sticky paper from Egghead.

This is the same for the Nektar Pacer, the physical interface is a bit of work to get through, but someone made an amazing web midi configuration tool allowing complex configurations to be made or transferred between units.

Oh yeah, the real Internet! We scaled up to an Ascend Max TNT with a DS3 before dial-up went south, ISDN stuck around quite a while though.

I remember using Postmasters (PM2E) for router serial connectivity, good times.

I think too many people lean on 'strengths' instead of realizing that you could be putting effort to improve your 'opportunities'. Growth is about making yourself better at things you aren't naturally good at, not staying in your safe zone doing the same exact things just because it's easier for you that way.

This is how I hire, I look for people willing to adapt and learn, because our field changes constantly you have to be able and willing to adapt to it. That may not be comfortable.

It isn't? Crap, I've been investing in Lego this whole time.

Don't pay, network! Livejournal was free for me (early 2000s, what do I know about it today), and via friends of friends feature I met my wife. Of course those relations came from people I met on IRC...

They just went ahead and sent us an invoice. Sales by extortion... so I made sure to replace our JRE in places (where Oracle snuck in) and uninstall anything else Oracle across our fleet.

I'm just happy for it to take 5 minutes to retrieve a single picture again.

I agree, this place has turned to trash.

That's why I created this account to NOT contribute, just like this guy.

Lazy people who just want stuff done for free, now.
