A flathead is still a screwdriver, is it not?

It was a Philips screw IIRC. You can also use a flathead screwdriver on them but you shouldn’t IMHO.

Dude would just walk up to the tape drive, masterfully tweak the screw for a second, and it'd work.

Me too! For some reason I was the only guy in school who could do that. Fun times. 😊

Because I had a floppy drive and that's what I obviously preferred to use.

In the beginning these were not available. Also I remember them costing the same as the C64 itself. As soon as I could afford one I got one obviously.

I just another item that could a generational riddle: the hole-punch that made your one-sided floppy two-sided.

Were you also there when the floppy replaced the datasette? 😊

The screwdriver is not for the tape. It’s for adjusting the audio head so it can pick up the data on the tape.

When someone gave you a tape with some nice games on it there was a near 100% chance you needed to adjust your datasette to read them.

I didn’t mean contronyms.

One example of what I mean is the word knight. It used to mean boy or servant. The German word Knecht still means (farmers) servant.

Another is ‘nice’, which used to mean ‘simple, foolish, ignorant’.

There are probably some cases were words changed their meaning from positive to negative. (I know there are in German)

How about multi-booting via Ventoy?

Sadly, you are right.

I wish this was legal in Germany. I’d love to see these posters here.

The more you learn about him the more you realize that he’s always been a piece of shit.

Sooner than later his shareholders will sue him for burning their money. This should be interesting.

Unfettered platforms such as Lemmy?

All feeds on all platforms are skewed right if not even extreme right since years.

You have to block (far) right channels on YouTube to not get their crap videos suggested again and again.

Add to that the brain frying effect of short clip after short clip on IG, YT and TikTok you get those right wing zombies.

We should really ban all of these platforms in the EU - including Xitter, FB. Allow only fully open space products hosted in Europe.

Maybe, but who are you to mandate someone else’s choices?

Please point out the section where I did.

I could go down a list of places those other choices lag,

Please do, that’s relevant info for people currently seeking to buy an EV.

It’s fine that you find them unimportant but what gives you the right to dictate to anyone else?

99% of your text is you discussing against something I never wrote - Textbook straw man.

Within the budget of a used Tesla Model 3 are a lot of better cars. Jaguar I-Pace, Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai EV5, etc. pp.

Do you have any source for that?

Thanks!

An equation does not need to be identical on both sides, just equal in value.

Also both sides don’t need to be unchanged. In fact mostly they don’t.

= does not convey persistence in any way for me (& I guess most people).

Now I want to see the original sign.

Video evidence or it didn’t happen.
