@phredmoyer rapid tests had always had extremely high false negatives and who’s gonna check on that everyone is doing it?

so no

if you want to keep people safe at a conference you need to have mandatory masking and ideally extra air filtering

you can’t shortcut your way to this

Me: sharing a fun old tech thing

Rando: that’s for posers and hipsters

Accept my sincere GTFO

What's the smallest memory card for a digital computer ever? Is it those strips for the HP-65 calculator? (IIRC those have 600 bits capacity)

Thanks, clanker fluffers

Hmm I had to record a tape, gonna start with a Brian Eno record I guess

@MichaelPorter they already do!

@fraggle obviously you got it from John Romero’s head

where is that vat of acid from Roger Rabbit when you need it

@astronomerritt it’s acceptable to say that she’s a toilet

@th fair, though I don't consider these memory cards, you don't carry them around in your pocket as semi-permanent data storage

@sotolf I suppose so, but the normal size punched card is ~960 bits

@sstephenson A lot harder to lose these than micro SD 😂

@joshsusser yup

Listening to a 50-year old cassette on a Walkman from 1998… and it sounds really good.

In 50 years from now, will any of current streaming services still be around?

@sotolf For the sake of this argument I would suppose a "memory card" is a small storage medium without moving parts that is less than 5mm thick, and is credit card sized or smaller.

whyyyy does my brain want me to extend my hoarding 😂
