Nice, I have NetBSD v10.0 on my Thinkpad T420, and issues I had with an external monitor has been fixed plus is is more zippy.

The only remaining issue I have with 10.0 is when the system is under very heavy load, Xorg can get temporarily corrupted after about 1 hour of the job running. I create PR 58217 for that issue.

In reality, I think very few people will ever run into this problem, but hoping for a 10.x fix some day :)

Because if the funding has not been cut, there is a good chance we would have been ready. This is not the first time Bird Flu made an appearance, it is just with the low funding level more important issues came up, like covid. Not to mention, a lot of good researchers went into private companies due to threats to them from the orange clown.

I guess that is what you get when you cut funding to the CDC.

I remember working in a warehouse that stored many ICs when I was very young. IIRC, Zilog packaging was quite good. Some other brands packages would crack or open up if nor handled with “kid gloves”. This brings back memories,

One of my favorite shows. The show started out very well, then morphed into a shoot-them-up type show in the later seasons, which I did not like. But I stuck with it.

Too bad it went the way it did :(

I binged it a year ago or so, yes it holds up well and is still entertaining :) I use to watch it when it came out, but I missed most of the first season back then.

Enjoy,

I decided to move to gemini on SDF. Data is far easier to maintain and you can use any editor to add/change files.

In case you do not know what I am referring to:

The add seems fine for me, just replace the fight with Cell Phones and you are good to go.

But in 2023 with all the movies with blood and gore, this being NSFW in 2023 is a bit over kill :) Never mind the fact here is the US we now get see children being shot for real in news casts :( And accidentally showing a certain body part in a sports event, you get banned for life.

A couple:

1. CRC Errors when restoring 9-track tapes (the large reels) on a mini at work.

2. A manager not knowing a removable 256meg Disk Pack suffered a heard crash. So he mounted it on 4 or 5 production drives, destroying the hardware. He did this to test if the Disk pack was OK. This caused almost a month of agony while we went looking for hardware to replace the drives. This caused manufacturing to slow down since inventory could not be ordered.

I can almost laugh now :)

geezes, in today’s political environment that “scandal” would not even hit the top ten :)

I really did not like how Kes (Jennifer Lien) was written out so they could have a Borg Character. Nothing against Jeri Ryan, but the idea of Kes type Alien was intriguing. Then when they brought her back as a god like character even made the concept for Kes worse.

The other thing missed is laptops manufactured within the past 10 years will meet most people’s needs, so no need to purchase new if there is no hardware issues.

And I wish they mentioned the TPM2 requirement Microsoft is forcing on people, that could generate a lot of ewaste.

Normally I would say anything over 10 years old. But due to how 10 year old computers are fully useable, I am thinking anything with 1 core. Maybe in a few years it could be ones without a TMP2 :)

2400 on a 386SX IIRC, I was late to the game. I started connecting when I moved to Coherent OS from DOS. I used kermit to dial into work. Work would then call back so I would avoid any charges:)

They had USENET on a SUNOS plus I could download source for items I wanted.
