The Tokyo/Shimokita train station has a "Library book box":
you can reserve a book online, and when coming back from work you just fetch it right at the train station, instead of having to go to the library.
Neat!

Tokyo's "Extinct Media Museum" is quite nice, brings up many memories (phun intended..)

"With Bitcoin, it is possible to store energy in digital form and transport it over the internet."

Ok.. so I guess your next move is to ship solar- and windparks then no longer with powercable but equip them with bitcoin miners and an internet connection... 🤡

Installing #suse 6.1 - now #amiga floppy change memories are coming up..

@codewiz FWIW, I was asking in our company retro lounge if someone around Boston owns an A3000. Not that, but I was hinted at this: there is a place called "Amiga of Rochester" that does repairs and troubleshooting.

@codewiz My idea to debug this would be to swap parts with a known good A3000 - but that needs of course a box to donor/test with..

Once you start playing with Software Defined Radio (SDR), you see targets to look at everywhere.. thanks to @jwildeboer for bringing these Lora devices into the office!
The signal looked strange at first, as if the HackRF with the 20Mhz bandwidth it can monitor in parallel could not grasp the full signal.. that was because it was so strong. Taking off antenna and playing with gain improved things.

@jwildeboer Are you in the office on Monday, the 9th? If you bring in 2 of your Lora(wan) devices which can communicate with each other, we can have a look at the communication with an SDR which I would bring in.
No deep analysis or such, just curious what it looks looks like. The sigidwiki has a bit on Lora, but I have not seen it live on the air so far.

@codewiz When I was at #Jaxa the other day, I asked if the designs of the chips they have companies develop for use in space are getting published.. unfortunately not.
If that was the case, they could even be used by kerbal space program for better simulation.of the reality.

Mnt. Fuji is still without snow as we enter November, for the first time in the 130 years covered by the statistics.

First Steam clarifies: "all you get is a license [which potentially can be revoked]"'
Then GOG adds on their site: "you get and can keep the code"
Well played, GOG.
