I wish the comeback was minidisc. I was just the right age to think this was the future of portable music. Mostly because I could record radio, other cds and cassettes onto them.

Due to the time difference, I only login when I’m out for a night out or staying up late. But it’s still an enjoyable experience when I get to log in.

I adore this series and other deep dives like it. If anyone can suggest others I would be grateful.

My first website was effectively a wiki on different races from Star Trek. It was plain text. With a few pages eventually having an image and it was just stiff said about them in t…

My old work used to give a default month-year-org name and an exclamation mark. The majority of people who still used it was insane. LinkedIn was a treasure trove for logging into …

I’m a mountain biker, I even internally complain about some road cyclists. The ones who take up far more of the road than necessary, granted because they can, and slow you down pri…

Gene Simmons however is a rock star.

I like the first one, down with minimum parking requirements we want more requirements for minimum parks! RaRa.

I scrolled down hoping to see this mentioned. If it wasn’t I was going to bring it up, faith in lip synced music telly reconfirmed.

On this I will say they are far more snappy than they used to be, battery life is great if you ask me. But in real terms I moved my home streaming app of choice to infuse. Between …

I think they do, my kids play Roblox and Minecraft and buying in app is more expensive (probably to the tune of the Apple fees) than buying it outwith the App Store. I don’t think …

Thanks, that makes a good deal of sense. I guess there’s probably been a few places called bifteki around the uk and other countries then.

I used to play the games on that when I was a kid at my grand house. I particularly liked on called bamboozle if I recall. It was a kind of quiz game.

This was definitely a tradecraft code word when two dudes passed a briefcase between each other in a cold park one day in Moscow. Heavy, heavy pronunciation going on to near comica…

I think there used to be a kebab place in Glasgow called bifteki. It generally signalled the end of a night when you headed there.

Ooft, that turns my 15 pro into a tall, tall boy. I love the idea of it but I don’t think it’s practical for me.

I think for me it was due to hearing about made up citations being used, I think for legal stuff. So being able to load a boatload of official datasheets and have them referenced i…

I seen an LLM, or maybe another variant of “AI” [0] a while back that could aid design of electronic circuits by having a pool of data sheets added for referencing. As you were que…

There I was all excited to show off some of my electrical chops on HN. Not today.

W-86 for the win. I had an f91w until a friend broke the strap, he bought me the 86 as a replacement and the illuminator function was game changing (spent a lot of time in the dark…

Blindsight by Peter Watts and I’ve just finished the sea of rust by C. Robert Cargil. Both are good, sea of rust was a quick read, informative on the world building with a fast eno…

Day’ymcdayface. That’s how that will go down. Referring to “boaty mcboatface”

Is this a case of can’t get it to work or won’t work on it yet? With some businesses the drive for features may be driven by the number of users using that feature. I wish my Apple…

I’ve just done my first iPhone to iPhone upgrade. 11 pro to 15 pro. My wife asked what was new/changed. I said “it’s exactly he same and I like that, but it has usb c, better camer…

It was AirPods for me, I was fully android and chrome os (pixelbook), windows on my work machine. Then AirPods came out and they worked with my Samsung note, but I got an iPhone at…
