I discovered Linux with RedHat 4.2

You have a proof ?

I did too around that time. I could use realtime to stream my tvtuner on a pentium 90MHZ and play it with winamp on another device.

Nice ! You made me think of spinning up a little server. It’s been a while since I’ve dabbled in managing a server and not aure I have the time for that. But you made the chances if me going for it much higher.

Would a raspberry pi 4 be enough for running it ?

That’s refreshing from the normal News cycle.

Thanks for sharing. BBS’s and epic pinball are the reasons for my interest in computer as a kid. I would watch my friend go on BBS’s and play text based game and download ASCII art all day to the point I learned a lot the got my first real computer (386 sx), I had a coco3 as a kid but that was just BASICS with no floppy or tape to load or save programs.

The 386 was such a new world of possibilities especially with software downloaded from BBS’s, took ages but got lots of kool games and music files (.mod) etc… of course porn for a young teen was also nice lol.

For fucks sake why isn’t all assitive devices open source already. Making profit over disabled people misery is such a evil thing ! The capitalist are so fucking out of touch it’s crazy. Kids dying, disabled people pressed for every penny they have etc… how the fuck did we let things go this bad.

See your way would create jobs and big business want less employees. So expensive autonomous drones it is !

Tubular on my phone and firefox with ublock origin on my PC. don’t have money to pay anyways.

Some may do it because of their love of animals and nature. But they will quickly realize that it’s just another business when they see customers paying 150$ for a 1h tour wich the guide makes only 7$ on and the boss cashes all the rest.

Jusy like free unpaid internships. Once your done your out so they can keep free labor.

Minimum wage for three month probation then it’s experience, so I bet NOT a livable wage either after that.

And I bet their twonway radio they ask 150$ deposit for is a baofang at 20$ on Amazon.

You are right I did not think that through.

SIM, plane and simple your carrier location is your location.

You ever heard of lossless compression? Well they developed lossfull anti compression, it compresses and decompresses the images so many times that the added artifacts create a larger file than original ! Impressive ain’t it?

You got a good point.

The options I see on this screenshot seem to be options that need a data connection to work, so I can understand a subscription for that. There is no free Internet mobile connection afterall. The monthly payment option is expensive for sure but the annual option is not too bad.

My watch isblike that. It’s an old Huawei Watch GT and has a puck to charge wich I plug in my USB-C cable in.

Thanks for the chuckle! I needed that.

I changed from a pixel 6 that I loved to a pixel 8 (I love it too) only because changing phones for a new contract gave cost me 20$ less and gave me 60Gig of data instead of 20. So I got a better phone, more data and a cheaper bill for changing to a new phone.

If I wanted to keep the pixel 6 I needed to pay 168$ and keep my old contract.

Why can’t I get the same deal without changing.

P.S. I’m in Canada. Was 76$ a month now is 55$.
