In my case, I don't see it as a domain that I lost. I sold it. Trademarks are interesting. They don't need to be registered in order to be protected (although they can be registere…

> On the other hand Joe from shipping wouldn't even know what a PLC is Joe from shipping is undefined. It is possible that Joe knows more about PLCs than you think you know about s…

I once got $6k out of a domain that I was using. It was a very good name and I think I had a solid case for keeping it, but I was not prepared to fight for it. Anyway, you got $2k.…

Thanks! That game is both completely silly and fluid AF. It is also terrifying. Piloting a bicycle through a city at 150MPH is really something else. One thing I felt I wanted as I…

Ah. Yeah, I wasn't quite picking up what you were putting down. :) And I'd apologize for writing about old computers, except I enjoy writing about old computers. I never had much e…

So they conduct a formal investigation. Top Men descend upon the facility to figure out whether we blame Joe, or Tim, or Emily. Heads roll. And the thumb drive is still gone, isn't…

I don't get into PLCs, per se, but I've done some stuff with other building-scale gear. Like: We took care of the centralized controls for the inmate portion of a jail that was bui…

Eh? It's just a thumb drive, on a lanyard, hanging in a cabinet. It's not like it has guards posted. :) Maybe Joe (from shipping) took it back to his desk to have a squiz at it and…

PC accessories have been easy during the era of ifixit, though. I remember installing seventy-two individual DIP chips onto an Everex 2-megabyte 8-bit ISA EMS expansion card and do…

And the models of the future will surely be better than they are today. This stuff is still a very long way from maturity. Sometimes it seems like they're moving very slowly. That …

You mean like, just hang a thumb drive on a lanyard inside of the cabinet -- with source code and such? That will probably just disappear. Maybe with good intention or maybe with b…

>30% of people usually just don't vote, even in the presidential elections that happen every 4 years. It's of primary importance to motivate these folks to vote at all. Getting the…

Please always vote. Thank you. :)

Eh? I've paid for ChatGPT (and in the recent ~year, codex) for about as long as it was available to pay for. I'm not upset by the offer of giving luna to the masses for free -- not…

Indeed. I buy 2 hot dogs for $1 at Sheetz sometimes. For that price, I get them with mustard, onions, and sauerkraut already on them. They are not excellent in any way. I will prob…

Even though it seems implicit that all of these companies are losing money hand-over-fist, it's still a competitive market. Improving the free offerings is meant to increase visibi…

So much for simple elegance, I guess. :)

Sorry, I can't understand you with all the noise these training wheels are making. Maybe we can chat again after recess is over?

Every not-broken USB C cable allows for 480Mbps USB 2 speeds and 60W charging. In USB C terms, it doesn't get any more basic than this; that's as low-and-slow the specification tol…

To criticize severely; reprimand or rebuke. k.

> you're like a kid on training wheels Anyhoo.

People are allowed to use tools and non-traditional techniques, even when it feels like cheating. They needn't be chastised for this. The gestapo isn't going to kick in the door an…

> I'm also curious, if the cathode was grounded to the machine frame, how dangerous was it to do work on those machines? When ground means earth, then: The chassis isn't dangerous …
