I said I am torn here. Basically both sides are shit. I know this does not help.

Years and years of use of analog clocks helps.

My oscilloscope still runs on windows 98. Back in it’s days, it cost about as much as a car, and it still works. No reason to throw this standalone machine out.

Properly dealing with hate crimes is different from controlling the internet more or less in general.

Let the internet be free, but also keep it free from hate.

And now explain to me why you need your multiplication tables go to 12x12 instead of 10x10 just to multiply 8x5.

You need multiplication tables to read a clock? Interesting.

Reading the article, I learned that the author does not really have a clue what he is talking about.

A mechanical clock is anything but analog. Look up what an escape wheel is for if you doubt it.

For “analog is easier” keep in mind that it is very hard to get chip based circuits do precisely reproducable analog behavior. Indeed, this is one of the main reasons why we have digital computer chips: the output of the circuit is sufficiently unambiguous.

And “can run things in parallel” - That’s what e.g. FPGAs are for. One if my designs runs audio compression on 32 channels with a meagre 12MHz clock, among many, many other tasks. All at the same time.

It should return to the original design: 14 years from creation, and then 14 more years if requested and paid for.

As long as you work with decimal numbers, there is no need to actually go beyond 10x10. Heck, even 9x9 would suffice, as times ten is just adding the zero. Anything else is derived from that.

I’m pulled back and forth with this one. On the one hand, 4chan is a shithole that should be taken care of. On the other side, UK laws that try to govern the internet are so overly deranged shit.

I have been in a book shop like that in Hastings (UK). Two stacks of books before the shelves, and it was worse in the basement, according to the owner. He was a living computer. You tell him you want something about topic and he got three books out of the basement, and tells you it’s all he has.

Over the course of a few days, we bought several folding boxes of books there.

At most until my medication runs out. From then on, it’s going down the drain…

If your list of different assembly languages you know exceeds mine…

I’m from the generation who could read 6510 code from hexdumps.

Here the tag is a ceramic tile that is put in the coffin before cremation. And i think it is verified by at least two people. But in the end, if enough people fuck up or fake, it could be anybody.

Other sites should join to show the citizens how a blacked-out internet looks like.

Those people needed help even before ShitGPT.

Fuck cares for piefed?

There is this short moment in time between “Don’t you touch my daughter” and “when will we have grandchildren”…

Well, Jeep is not really a name for good innovation. They are stuck with a management that still thinks “mechanics” and sees electronics as a pure profit center, not as a gear in the system that has to be as reliable as the rest of it.

The lack of security awareness is due to them to scrooge to hire the right professionals for the job. It is 100% the result of cutting corners.
