I recently purchased a 1980s thermal typewriter on a whim as me and a coworker were discussing if people still use them for work and apparently they do! There's even a repair shop in Rhode Island that still services them! #laptop #typewriter #analog #1980s #fax www.bbc.com/future/artic...

'We use them every day': In some parts of the US, the clack of typewriter keys can still be heard
Computers and smartphones might be where most writing is done these days, but typewriters still have work to do in the US.

I remember learning in kindergarten that HOMES was a useful acronym for remembering the five great lakes. A bit on the nose to change it to SHAME, isn't it?

Uploaded one of my many recordings from my #5ESS phone line. I figured I want to get this stuff recorded and preserved as my line card has already changed after recording this a few weeks ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=95pi... #5ESS, #1ESS, #1AESS, #5XB, #3XB, #1XB, #SxS

if it was Tuesday Feb 5th as the guy in the recording said, it was most likely recorded around early 1991.

Off-grid comms has always forced a choice: sub-GHz bands for range, or compromise for throughput. 2.4 GHz LoRa is breaking that trade-off open. GrayHatGuy has proven MeshCore runs on 2.4 GHz — and built the bridges that connect it back to sub-GHz backbones when you need the long hop. New post […]

while on the subject of phone chargers, I feel it's worth asking how well-known the whole "pocket lint buildup" think is with USB-C because when people say their port broke I often wonder whether it's actually just in need of some scrapey scrapey with a sewing pin.

that's super unfortunate, my current daily is a 1991 Corolla wagon as I was getting so sick of modern cars and all the extra stuff on them constantly breaking. My other car is a 2010 impreza but I might sell it after winter as it's too modern and constantly having electrical gremlins.

I need to start being more honest with myself, not just about social media usage, but all screen usage, especially YouTube and how it is negatively impacting me. Starting now and going into 2026 I aspire to live a fully smartphone free life and heavily limit my social media usage! #dumbphones

irritatingly, the list of Al settings in Firefox has grown. to kill them all as of today (Nov 20, 2026), go into about:config and set all of these to false (yes, you'll have to copy and paste them one by one):
• browser.ml.enable
• browser.ml.chat.enabled
• browser.ml.chat.menu
• browser.ml.chat.page
• browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge
• browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge

• browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled
• browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
• browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
• extensions.ml.enabled
• browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate

in addition to nuking Al, it'll also speed up your browsing

Next we need a video on why capacitive touch buttons on modern dishwashers make no sense as it's WET so water constantly bridges the connections between the buttons rendering them useless!

I tried to use a smart phone for 30 days, and I only made it 15 days in. Video will come eventually about it, but I just wanted to share that I don't love that this experiment made me comply with fear mongering. I'm sorry if I added stress to your feed. www.rejectconvenience.com/forum/viewto...

Damn this is cool. Someone made a Android mainboard replacement for the Q20. It fits perfectly inside the existing phone. Uses the same display but upgrades the camera and switches to USB C. It feels so good to hold blackberry again. The soft touch back feels amazing
