@killyourfm over here, your ISP _and_ your phone provider billed by the minute :<
that was annoying. quickly got the first download manager tools that could resume downloads.

edonkey was also pretty nice (well, mostly for illicit stuff) but the download mechanism was pretty robust and could resume/survive a broken connection.

yeah, that first 768kBit/s line (much later) was a real win!

@kevinrns @killyourfm @thunderbird and was billed by the minute! so that download cost real money and that failed attempt was expensive and annoying!

@fluepke alter... wenn du mit deinem Steamprofil im Verfassungsschutzbericht landest, haste aber auch echt was geschafft. Nicht unbedingt positiv 😂

@Reiddragon @Toble_Miner @lispi314 possible — definitely. Would require a bunch of work though for platform support. Things requiring floating point instructions would probably also break rather harshly (which would be sad because you couldn‘t use existing software).

Theoretically this platform also supports virtualization, but the floating point problems still persist there :(

@Reiddragon @Toble_Miner @lispi314 There also used to be a Windows NT 4.0 PowerPC edition… #JustSaying 😹

But yeah, enough time spent on this platform already 🙃

@lispi314 @Toble_Miner @Reiddragon Not at KittenLabs 😹

We only like very cursed hardware 🤭

@spinach Hey! Did you just shittalk my lovely gaming r̵o̵u̵t̵e̵r̵computer? That's not fair! 😹

@mntmn pmOS wiki is a good resource for mainline Linux support status: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5)

This looks pretty exciting, indeed. Missing audio support could be a platform or device thing, not quite sure. Otherwise looking pretty nice.

Maybe just get a Fairphone 5, install Linux and give it a shot? :D

@Rairii oh that's nice... the performance is pretty impressive as well :)

... what sort of primitives did you need to implement in the ARC to get this to work?
I still have a cursed PowerPC platform here, which might be a fun porting target...

@msquare Die Diskussion kam auf, ob es medizinisch bestätigte Fälle gab und es wurde fleissig gerätselt. Diese Info als "Es wird nicht nur vorsorglich gewarnt" wäre vermutlich wirksamer.

Aber ich hab mindestens 3 Kandidaten bei diesem C3 gesehen, die ins Profil für sowas passen würden.

@msquare Jup, mir auch leider bekannt.

Frag mich jetzt nur, wo man dieses Feedback zu den Zetteln am besten mal einkippt.

@ryanc @saraislet Not quite sure what I'd need to do in such a situation...

@ryanc @saraislet always a bit scared a flight somewhere in the region might divert/emergency land in UAE (or a similar country) :/

@grillchen @kaia much, much more harmful. That subway station is harmless in comparison.

If you want to see hot pixels on a modern phone, you'll need radiation levels that'll kill you in an hour.

@grillchen @kaia while this does work, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near an area where it's detecting any signal. the amounts of radiation required are very, very harmful.

@ryanc I haven't seen any really reputable brand (in both sockets and power supplies) selling a socket with a high quality supply (at least for the EU market). So far, I've opened/looked at a few (maybe 5 or so), which were all horribly dangerous designs, lacking filtering, safety components and legally mandated clearances.

None of these products should've been on the EU market! All of them were illegal!

@HopelessDemigod @ryanc Excellent point! Totally forgot about that.

@ryanc @kravietz sadly, yes 😹

I do like the individually fused plugs, though! That's not a bad idea at all!

@kravietz @ryanc 1970s Type F (EU) outlets, with 1.5mm^2 copper cabling, earthed and GFI protected.

Those outlets are fine.

@ryanc No, because:
- high idle power consumption
- lacking safety (against surges/spikes)
- lacking safety (against electrocution of the user)
- thermal problems (over-temperature inside the wall?)
- bad regulation (high ripple, etc.)
- coil whine
- often bad negotiation (USB-C or USB-A power delivery)
- fire hazard (can't quickly unplug smoking permanently installed outlets)

- USB standards change rapidly. I'm still using 1970s outlets. I'm not using 1970s tech $anything.
