50+ European here. Could you please explain in simple terms what “woke” is? I’ve seen it for years now and still don’t have any idea.

In my mind it’s a lumberjack shirted 30yo with a trimmed full beard and tattoos working as a barista. That’s how little I know of it… Sorry!

Thank you. It makes sense that the demo shows ALL the features and I wouldn’t need to use all. It’s probably better for my OCD to skip this tool :)

Yup. Competent nerds like us make up about 0.0002% of their earnings. The big business is in corporate, and the hordes of plebs as a distant second.

Is it lovingly aimed at grease monkeys or also at normie vehicle owners?

I took a look at the demo site and felt a bit overwhelmed.

I was the lucky owner of a rare FingerWorks Touchstream keyboard for many years. If you don’t know it, it’s the precursor to the keyboards used in Star Trek Enterprise.

It’s a keyless keyboard. Two large flat mousepads with a keyboard layout printed on top, and you type by pure touch. There’s no mouse; the surface just cleverly detects when you are doing mouse gestures. Or a lot of other gestures.

Trekkie joke aside, it’s actually the magic tech that made the iPhone possible. Of course Apple didn’t invent anything, they bought existing future tech.

I miss that keyboard. They still sell on ebay, for 1400$!

184 billion transistors

My mind broke, reading this. From way back when you could count the transistors by pointing at them with your finger, to hundreds of billions on a postage stamp. How??

Yeah because the ending (and severance last seasons) of Lost was a big unlubed middle finger. Effing waste of time.

Maybe Lexmark? OKI? I vaguely recall there was 1 other not-evil printer company.left.

Otherwise, I’ve heard good things about clay tablets.

Wow, that does seem really useful! So clever to use Home Assistant, and nfc tags. Plus, it’s plain csv when you need the data.

Sure, but the challenge is how to block them without putting undue load on humans.

In the olden days, you’d just host a webserver and be done with it. Today you need elaborate setups to trick bots. It’s a losing proposition.

Just to the left of Demimoore.

This is the $5 wrench, right?

You may refuse, and they’ll put you on the first flight back.

The novel Little Brother by Cory Doctorow comes to mind.

One PIN would log you into your real account, another PIN into a decoy account, and no indication of the other one existing.

That does not exist in the real world.

They’d be taking out the core and putting in tulip bulbs instead 🌷🌷🌷

Teams (Classic), actually.

Like US politics… 🤮

How so? What does this do?

I recently started with fish and dislike that I can’t drop bash commands into it because it parses differently. That is enough to annoy me to uninstall.

Some EU countries (and the City of Munich) habe tried to shift from MS to Linux. It didn’t pan out, but maybe this is the decade where it could be done?

Imagine getting EU funding to run basically the EU IT department - best Linux, best management, supporting open Office suites, and establishing an EU cloud operation. One can dream, right?

I guess it didn’t work well last time partly because of re-training needs, interoperability issues, etc.
