People can't memorise computer industry acronyms!

Do you remember before we had usb devices, our laptops had credit-card-sized PCMCIA slots?

I love that word. What's it mean? People can't memorise computer industry acronyms. ;-)

I know some of those words... the short ones.

Tell that to 99% of Europe where every idiot is using whatsap and the few who don't are shunned. FML

If you don't mind, could you please check your typing? You had some obvious typos so I am not so sure of the exact name of the tool you are suggesting.

I agree. First I used vacuum sealed bags (one per spool) with dessicant, now I use a big plastic tub with 1kg of dessicant. It seems to help, but slowly. I might buy one of those Sunlu drying devices for 2 spools at a time.

Can you give 1 sentence for the video impaired please?

Don't know any good open source. Use TinkerCad...

My living room PC drives my TV projectos and runs Win7. It will continue to do so forever.

Alas, Steam says it will stop working on 01.01.2024 😡 big bummer.

Yeah. I would pay extra for a phone that is a few millimeters thicker but runs for three days! I can't be the only one??

Yeah, um. The first modern ...

True but luckily they are still allowed to do their thing - for now, anyway.

Don't mess with Waze, and copy all the cool stuff into Maps. Please.

Always on? Bah! It wears out the screen and drains the battery.

My Sammy S10 can barely last a day even with most things off. My Sammy watch also lasts maybe 22 hours.

When do we finally get devices that can run for three weeks?

My trusty old Psion Series 5 was an awesome pocket computer that would run for three weeks on two AA batteries!

It also had a large touch screen and a clever physical keyboard that was just large enough for ten-finger typing.

I used it for 15 years, it was amazing and no smartphone ever came close.

S6 Was the last model to have that. Was awesome.

That was really scary to read!

Here's an adult in a modern western country who seriously weighs death against well-being. That is mind-boggling to me.

With all my heart, I sincerely hope you find your way to health, without being crippled by debt.

Only once when it was new, so I didn't get the reference. I'm a fan of such throwbacks though👍

Yeah but only cuz you stop looking afterwards!

What's that first word mean?

I can't find Readably in the Play store. Got a link?
