Truely it was aweful. Visually we couldn’t see the mountain range from 500ft away. Everyone stayed indoors with the AC on (we are lucky; we have a whole HEPA and several room HEPA units.
Conversation wise how was your 4th? We had a family gill out and a few beers and a bit of vape. Really relaxing. Had time to work on my project laptop (the Hackintosh; converting a Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7 to be able to triple boot). Did some admin; lowkey.
Friends in Maine managed to also avoid it completely!
Close to New York. It was horrible here for a while. Apocalyptic amounts of haze. Yet people were still riding bikes, mowing lawns, running, and so on. Air quality index was over 300 for a bit.
Had a nice day; no complaints. Staying up late tonight to catch up on some things. No wildfire smoke. Did some research on making a Hackintosh for fun. Chillen with my family for the 4th; no major plans. Just resting and taking it easy. How’s everyone else doing?
I can’t fathom that amount stored there in addition to the amount of data traffic occurring. Those fibers are on fire; coming in the centers in 3 foot tubes! For some reason they don’t appear on google image search. ;)
One of the largest.
Does anyone remember the add on voice to speech and advanced sound module that chunked into the right hand side of that machine. It was black magic back then.
Surely we recall typing code into basic from the back of a magazine. Later we were blown away from having a EGA card that didn’t make text look like crap? Right guys?

Agree completely. I’ve been migrating from system since bulletin boards were around. It’s nice to see change in action!
My account was banned due to the username. It was made in jest before the war in Ukraine. I’m glad they banned it though; it was a 10 year account.
My advice. Call a local electrician or small business networking company; get some quotes for what you are looking for. Have 2 cables run from the network interface box to where your router/firewall is in addition to a second location in case you ever need to expand the network setup in you home. The cost is well worth not worrying about pulling cables. Install CAT6 boxes in almost every room you foresee a cable ever being run. Good luck! I recently rewired my home with CAT6 from the fiber interface box and am now enjoying 900/850mb everywhere in my home.
Oh no! It’s the EEE PC!

Epic shit post.
Pointless shit post. Doesn’t even have any original value to it.
People are tired of this war. Putin wanted to secure food reserves and have an open access sea port for his military; however he wasn’t honest as to his reasons why; understandably so. Given this the Russian public doesn’t see the actual geopolitical value of the conflict. This was inevitable. If Russia couldn’t play nice with the rest of the world as their money mostly comes from oil and gas; which we are moving away from. Let them pay for their crimes.
No. Karma is a fake metric and can adversely effect others perception of a current comment. Comments should be judged on their own merit. One can have differing opinions or views that may be viewed as negative; however positively contribute to an active discussion with a agreed view.
I was doing this analog with the International Space Station in 1992. During the horizon overpass I was able to establish voice contact via a 2 watt handheld transmitter. This was a two way contact with an ham radio operator on the ISS. The voice bandwidth far exceeds the 4g bandwidth. I’m not sure exactly how this is new being that it was a one way contact. It’s basically line of sight communications which is exactly what the higher frequencies are intended for; nothing in their path. Still cool nonetheless. I wonder how they received the FCC okay for it though.
Classic. I loved the PowerPC days. Still run a G4 tower every now and then; works like a champ!
