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 do…

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 m…

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 …

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 th…

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 dash…

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 excessiv…

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 si…

"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 prob…

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, …

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 mati…

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 stic…

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 configuratio…

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 …

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