As a poor engineering student, I couldn't afford one of these, but I could afford the TIM-1 chipset at $35, wire wrapped it up, and borrowed a single-line ascii terminal from a buddy. It's hanging on my lab wall next to other obsolete stuff.
For me, the failure of Fe is all the races are run on street courses with few high speed turns and no elevation change through the lap. That, and they sound like an NBA games with more tire squeaking noise than the propulsion system sounds.
I'm really looking forward to this weekend's F1 finale. Three drivers have a shot at the top three spots in the championship.
My name is so common that people laugh and say, "come on, what's your real name?" There are two of us in our little town. When the other one robbed a convenience store I started getting calls from friends who thought it was me. I also look like many people, to the point that I once told someone, "no, I'm really not your cousin."
I discovered just yesterday that Verizon home internet blocks archive.is. Changing the router DNS from their default to openDNS fixed the problem for me, so it looks like they made only a nominal effort to block it.
This issue seemed to resolve itself sometime in the past year. I’m not sure if that’s because Cloudflare decided to surrender some of my PII in exchange for eDNS resolution or if archive.is finally stopped demanding it from them.
If I read that word salad correctly, Cloudflare says they're blocking it because they want to "protect the privacy" of users who do a DNS lookup of archive.today, to prevent the requester's IP address from being reviealed to archive.
That seems ludicrous, given that after a DNS lookup, the next thing anybody does is to send an HTTP request, which obviously reveals that same IP address to the archive servers.
So it's an obvious and blatant lie by Cloudflare, and I wonder what their real reason is.
I've been looking for something to do with the bag of 1N4001 diodes I trash-picked decades ago. There are 1,000 pieces minus the dozen or so I've used in projects. The 50V PIV and slow switching speed limits their application, but I have a lifetime supply!
I had a brush with the PS/2 and OS/2 back in the day. IBM offered the PS/2-based Personal/370 on the platform with a card that could execute S/370 SW. My team built the I/O channel card for connecting 3480 tapes and the like. It was funny seeing the fat bus and tag cables attached to a little box through an adapter pigtail.
My best power tool tip, learned years ago, is "go pee first" meaning that you'll be less careful if you're trying to hurry through the cut because you need to go to the bathroom.
