“I’m sorry we got caught on this.”

In a nutshell: You are only allowed to write reviews if you promised to write good reviews.

It needs the American version of the game. Looks like I have to wait until other regions are covered, too.

I’ve seen a VHDL implementation of the Z80 on the net. It is so old, it’s last fixes were from 19 years ago…

“Thanks for the tax breaks, but now we are off to the next tax breaks”

As if anyone would vote for her in the next election, anyway.

Ah, the power of projection! “We are criminal scum, so they must be, too!”

A few years ago, I saw a cheap GSM adapter for a PC for e.g. emergency messages of the server. It was cheap, as it only supported 3G. Luckily, I checked availability of 3G before I bought it, as it would have been a doorstopper here.

OK, that is USA. They have been a bit backwards for a long time, so this is not a surprise.

Do you have to break your fingers, too, to switch them off?

Scorched Earth everywhere. They just hope to break enough that any other government is too busy fixing that to be successful.

2G? That is a word I have not heard in a long time.

He said he has no idea how but they made him try anyways.

Uh, I’ve been present when such a thing happened. Not in the military, though. Guy should install driver on a telephone system, despite not being a software guy (he was the guy running the wires). Result: About as bad as expected. The company then sent two specialists on Saturday/Sunday to re-install everything.

My answer: “I don’t play Windows”.

One of the most common problems of government or other big organisation software is that they don’t scale, either “not well” or “not at all”.

Some guy hacks up a demo that looks nice and seems to do what customer wants, but then it turns out a) that it only allows for (number of open ports on one machine) users at the same time, and b) it only works if everything runs on one machine. Or worse, one core.

Good. Lock them up and throw the key in the gutter.

If I have to work on an American QUERTY keyboard, I have to look for each and every special character. Because our QWERTZ-keyboard has them in other places to make space for all the interesting characters an American keyboard simply fails to offer.

I stand corrected. Thank you!

Until the router needs to be reset, or something else happens to it.

That’s what “configuration backups” are for. You’ve got some, don’t you?

There is an easily hackable and cheap device from IKEA by the name of “VINDRIKTNING”. There are YT videos on how to wifi-enable that thing and integrate it into home automation services.
