Vintage ceramic packaging is the woodgrain of ICs. 🔊

The name now feels strangely appropriate...

Issues happen, and and all that apply to the people working on solving it, but that so many organizations can make themselves vulnerable to such an incident is worrying.

An issue with a single vendor being able to bring down so many businesses and services is the definition of centralization (or lack of redundancy).

I have a bunch of old Pi 1B's in a drawer. Might be fun to put one to use connected to a CRT over composite.

It's a bit underpowered for some emulators (e.g. FinalBurn Neo), which may not be an issue if I decide to use this to emulate only the oldest consoles and micros. I don't normally enjoy emulating those very much, but with a CRT it feels... different.

Maybe I can even use an OG 256MB Model 1B. That's almost retro by itself.

Good overview about Trumps candidate for vice presidency, including this rather bizarre paragraph: “2016 Vance was also an ardent Trump foe. He wrote a New York Times op-ed titled “Mr. Trump Is Unfit For Our Nation’s Highest Office,” and wrote a text to his law school roommate warning that Trump might be “America’s Hitler.””

Pretty impressive to be convicted and nearly assassinated in the very same year. It lasted over 8 years to get both for Hitler.

The poster for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979) is just awesome.

It instantly makes me want to rewatch the best scene in the film, the 5 minute long, zero dialogue, flyby of the Enterprise:

And this dive on the typrography of Star Trek, which reminded me of the poster just now, is super interesting:

The author has more articles on other films. I've read some over the years and are all very good.

Too many fail to grasp the relevance of sovereignty to the common person...

Sovereignty is not having to worry (too much) whether or not another country chooses to elect a dangerous idiot to govern it.

Lack of sovereignty is depending so much on another country that such a choice has real consequences for you, while not having any say (i.e. vote).
