Cleaned url: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ESPLS2-Advanced-Scientifi... Thank you so much for pointing out fx-115ES PLUS2! I looked for a good hour yesterday trying to find an alternative to the fx-115ES PLUS (first edition) with the same features, after Casio discontinued the original. I'm honestly embarrassed that I had overlooked this... I do absolutely agree that Casio calculators are just wholly better than…

I really don't understand why Casio keeps changing the entire design of their calculators, though.

they don't; they have multiple lines which don't change much generation to generation.

a casual observer might think that they can't pick a design.

The author seems to have their own AS for "experimentation purposes" https://tbspace.de/as203478tbspacenetworks.html https://bgp.he.net/AS203478 https://www.peeringdb.com/net/10981 I've always been interested in doing something like this, although it's prohibitively expensive for me, even for IPv6-only.

I walked through doing this with my AS (AS398328) in the US (ARIN), both for fun and for security research. Happy to chat with anyone who wants to go through the process, it was probably $1-2k in total for ARIN fees to get the AS and v4/v6 space. Real transit is a lot worse though.

1-2k is a bit tough for testing the water. But above there is another $50 one. One wonder what is the difference as $50 is very manageable!

Last year I bought I used TI for my daughter who needed it for school. I got her the oldest version, the one which takes AAA batteries and communicates with the outside world through a serial link. A project like this brings to mind the possibility of stuffing a Raspberry Pi Zero in the battery compartment, hooking it up to the school WiFi, using a terminal app on the calculator to communicate with the Pi and in that…

There's enough hacks you can do on the 83/84 without hardware gutting tricks. Even in plain old TI Basic. You can easily automate most of a HS curriculum and make an unbeatable tic tac toe program, no internet needed. Its honestly the first coding experience I ever had.

I’m not sure I understand. The calculator linked is the second version of that model, which to my understanding is identical software wise but looks completely different.

Oh, you're right. 1180AUD / year + 500AUD sign-up fee.. Still a bit expensive. If I had a business use case for it I'd be able to justify it, but it's too much for a hobby, unfortunately.

This actually doesn't seem that bad for a hobby (I'd be using this almost as a fee to help me learn more about networking). Does APNIC give out ASes for hobbyist and experimental use?

You "just" need to be in their reigon, and have justification. Usual justification is that you have two upstream networks and they'll announce your prefixes (generally with BGP). That's going to cost some more money, but there's specialist VPSes for this these days.

*:focus { outline: none; } *::-moz-focus-inner { border: 0; } Wow, the equivalent of having a building with existing wheelchair ramps and ripping them out because they're "unsightly". I guess it's a valid decision decision, but pretty crappy for anyone who needs them.

is that to imply that focus outline is meant for accessibility purposes?

Yes, focus rectangles are an essential component of navigating the interface with the keyboard.

There’s no hobbyist program but neither is it corporate/for-profit only, from what I see.

There are few people(mostly network engineers or researchers by trade and/or business owners themselves) who are assigned ASN to their homelab gears from JPNIC. Knowing the right doors to knock etc.

Fair. But if a user has accessibility enabled, that should override the css itself no?

Also even with the focus outline disabled on other sites, I am able to navigate with the keyboard to text input fields. OP's site doesn't have any input fields so not sure why they have that CSS in place as I don't think it's doing anything.

You are making the assumption that the user has some modicum of control over the browser's configuration.
