@saxx@mastodon.social @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social Same here in Texas. They're even building one on land gifted by a farmer to the city with the stipulation that it be used for a park.
You know Broadcom has screwed the pooch when... https://www.theregister.com/2026/05/04/gartner_state_of_mainframes/

@rootwyrm @mattblaze @samloonie @iris @ai6yr @User47 Until very recent models, there was no way to open the rear doors of a Model Y from the inside or outside with no LV. As for the other models, relying on a seven year old to tunnel through plastic trim to find a cable in an upside down car filling with smoke means that the other models effectively can't be opened in an emergency either.

@flexion@oldbytes.space So beautiful. Nowadays it's all just bare stamped aluminum and a token blue power LED.

@ainmosni @mainframed767 Yup. I like the lead analogy specifically because it affects brain development and was just getting pumped into the air by every vehicle that drove past.

@particlesbbs@mastodon.social What a great looking design. I miss when everything came with an LCD display.
My first successful PCB project. This connects a PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the Netfinity PC card set on the #as400 Model 150 and probably others. I'll be uploading Gerbers later this evening.
C'mon SAVF compression. Don't let me down now.

@llamasoft_ox@toot.wales Don't just put in ads. Train the product placement into the model. I want people to know exactly which brand of glue they should put on their pizza.

@nblr@chaos.social sudoers has a similar bug. Can't remember what it is exactly but it's just as dumb and nobody could log in because of it.

@ifixcoinops The reason I haven't is because if something goes wrong, I don't want my family to have to try to troubleshoot my hardware or software in the dark while I'm at a conference.

@mac84tv@bitbang.social @RonsCompVids@bitbang.social I have two yellow LWIIs and a new-in-box LWII so I will definitely watch first.

@jschwart@mas.to @nil@furry.engineer @moira@mastodon.murkworks.net I have the original SunPCi running on the 1.3 software and I don't remember it having the date problem.

@desikn @bremner uBO Lite is missing a bunch of features that MV3 does not allow:
Filter lists update only when the extension updates (no fetching up to date lists from servers)
Many filters are dropped at conversion time due to MV3's limited filter syntax
No crafting your own filters (thus no element picker)
No strict-blocked pages
No per-site switches
No dynamic filtering
No importing external lists

@EyalL@mastodon.social @forgifuzzbutt@forgi.social @enron@tilde.zone Yup. If a corporation wants to be a person, let's make them a person.

@gilesgoat@toot.wales @llamasoft_ox@toot.wales Even with the user paying 200 USD for the "pro plan", OpenAI is losing money on every user.

@RueNahcMohr@infosec.exchange @soatok@furry.engineer Huh. I guess it can be right once in a while, then.

@jwz@mastodon.social er, does blacked.com own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles now or did they just search for "teen" and sue over all of it?
Replying to
@thedarktangent@defcon.social I still have to extend the wires on the spicy pillow and then I'll be online tomorrow.
I'm taking my annual mandatory anti-bribery "training" and I wonder if employees of a certain major phone manufacturer still have to take that training after their CEO gave a literal gold bar to a public official on television to get his production line in China excluded from tariffs.

@1Bit@bitbang.social My friend and I spent hundreds of hours playing Starflight at 8 MHz on Hercules mono graphics. I'll definitely check this one out.

@kevinthomas@defcon.social Ordered! I love messing with very limited hardware (ATtiny10 most recently.) Can you make your source available at some point? I've only written in C so far.
Today's thrift find: a very heavy power center. It's VERY heavy and has a fan on the bottom and a weird power(?) light on the corner.

@bitsavers@oldbytes.space @TerryHancock@realsocial.life @ricci@discuss.systems I'm glad to see you're involved. I half expected it to go into deep storage at CHM, never to be seen again.

@TechBean@mstdn.social I used to chew Big Red constantly until I got a mouth ulcer, wait a couple of months and then start again.
Fun fact: you can get antibiotics for a sinus infection directly from Boots without having to go to a doctor first. As a tourist, the out the door cost was only £10.
You know Fringe has sold out when Gyles Fucking Brandreth has billboards up for a show he’s in.
