“Ok, I mean, sure, we sold the Nazis punchcards, but seriously, what could they do with them?”
Should be required reading for anyone in tech. Bonus - great early history of punch cards and IBM.

Physical edition? No? Sorry, not interested.

Always seems to me that the mens restroom is the one farthest from the entrance to any given building. You pass the womens to get to the mens.

There needs to be one era for 1985 up to the 1990s speculation crash, then another for that era, and a 3rd post speculation era, but I’m not sure how to break it out.
- Comment on xkcd #3089: Modern 3 days ago:
Gets really weird when you start talking about comic book eras.
Golden Age - 1938 to 1956 (18 years)
Silver Age - 1956 to 1970 (14 years)
Bronze Age - 1970 to 1985 (15 years)Here’s where it gets fun:
Modern Age - 1985 to Present (40 years)

I’m aware of the franchise, but had no clue there was a new entry in it.
- Comment on Lemmy.one will be shutting down 4 days ago:
I’m a bit bummed as lemmy.one was my introduction to the ecosystem. :(
OTOH, when they were having server problems, I set up a kbin account, but left it when it became clear I could only use the kbin app to access it. Looks like that’s shut down now too!
- Comment on China has introduced a drone that flies like a bird. The new invention could turn the drone industry upside down 6 days ago:
There have been non-drone flapping bird toys for decades(?) Maybe longer? At least since 1969.

- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 1 week ago:
I do, but if you need an actual computer, say for work or something, they don’t cut it. They’re cute, but as you see above, the limitations drag them down.
By the time you put in the gear to make them workable, you might as well just pack a proper laptop.
- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 1 week ago:
Well, I’m technically “on the go” right now and my phones work fine.
- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 1 week ago:
What I’m saying is, the use case is limited.
You can carry a bag for your laptop and have other things in it vs. fitting an 8" device into the bag you’re carrying.
- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 1 week ago:
The use case seems pretty limited:
“when I’m on the go and I don’t have room in my bag for a full-sized laptop”
First, if you’re on the go, do you need a computer with you? Second, if you do, that’s what a dedicated laptop bag is for.

If you have to carry a separate keyboard, it defeats the purpose of an 8" laptop…

I barely use my work email for WORK much less anything else!

- Comment on Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable? 1 week ago:
480i/480p is 1/4 of 1080p so that seems accurate to me.
Dreamcast is the purple square in the upper right:

You can pretty much design a poster in any art program and there are bunches and bunches of them out there. There isn’t any one specific one just for posters that I’m aware of.

I mean, it theoretically runs on hydrogen so it’s zero emission. Beats a dirt bike!
- Comment on Kawasaki is developing a robot to be ridden like a horse - Asia Times 2 weeks ago:
There is a physical model, but definitely not rideable, looks like it just barely leans up and down, but they did get something real to display:
- Comment on Kawasaki is developing a robot to be ridden like a horse - Asia Times 2 weeks ago:
All terrain mobility.
- Comment on Kawasaki is developing a robot to be ridden like a horse - Asia Times 2 weeks ago:
That’s what I was thinking. 2nd thought: Does it come in green?
- Comment on Kawasaki is developing a robot to be ridden like a horse - Asia Times 2 weeks ago:
I would have linked directly to the Kawasaki site, but it’s less news article and more promotional:
- Comment on Kawasaki is developing a robot to be ridden like a horse - Asia Times 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but you don’t have to feed it and dispose of poop. :)
- Comment on Kawasaki is developing a robot to be ridden like a horse - Asia Times 2 weeks ago:
They state that each leg has it’s own motor so there would have to be some kind of standardization there.
I can’t imagine electric motors being THAT hard to swap out, I mean, my wheelchair has two of them and they’re user replacable. (Right hand motor and Left hand motor being separate units).
I’m not sure about user REPAIRABLE, that’s a different deal, but at a minimum user replacable.
