Wow cool, gonna try it.

Discomfort with new modem technology shapes frustration as no modern terminal application has ZModem support.

Pascal. Specifically, Borland Pascal for DOS.

Well yes, but you still do not pay each year, this means MICROS~1 is losing profits (in their eyes, and compared to Adobe).

OEM licenses are also bad, because MICROS~1 is selling each copy of Windows for a significant discount, not for $199.99 retail price. And users can even transfer non-OEM licenses to another PC (oh horror!)

And yet, here we are. Until 2010, Microsoft would say - “What are you gonna do about it, install Linux and edit .doc files in vim lolol?”, but now users would just buy Chromebook instead.

Coincidentally, Windows did not get any new features since Windows 95 up to Windows 8, because why change the atrocious Control Panel if users are gonna buy it anyway?

So they either decided that running a device driver certification program is too expensive, or they are panicking and adding dumb shit to Windows to maintain an appearance of doing something to shareholders.

Windows has stopped being Microsoft’t core business since Windows 8 (2015), and turned into an expensive liability. The core of Microsoft business now lies in selling cloud services, compute, and Office 365 subscriptions.

The problem is - users pay for Windows only once, and not each year like all other fancy rich companies like Adobe make their users do. And the market is saturated, because Microsoft became monopoly around 1995. Every PC sold has Windows installed, and since everyone on the planet already owns one PC per person (citation needed), the sales directly depend on the birth rate.

Trying to change to subscription model was met with violent pushback from users, so they started adding advertisements to taskbar starting in Windows 10, and created a shittiest app store ever to copy Apple.

They have been trying to kill Windows ever since, but they cannot due to numerous contract obligations.

Military tech companies will be perfectly fine. They typically have 10+ year contracts, and military equipment has a huge price margin in exchange for being reliable and field-serviceable, and the main disadvantage of DIY radar is reliability (unless you also recruit the guy who built it into the army).

It will probably impact civilian market more, where the same companies will try to sell you an unnecessarily hardened machined aluminium box full of cheap Chinese electronics, camo painted for an additional ten thousand bucks.

Their next commercial offering might just be cheaper.

Radars are very much in use in Ukraine. There is a whole range of air targets besides FPV drones, there are ballistic missiles, fighter planes, bomber planes, helicopters, gliding bombs, and ships, all of which require a radar to detect.

Acoustic sensors have limited range. By the time it detects a missile, it’s already flew one kilometer away, and it’s too late to grab your AA gun. Gliding bombs are silent.

Radars have 50+ km range, and allow to shoot bombers and ships from beyond the border with expensive US-provided missiles.

Android uses mainline Linux kernel for several years already. Whatever drivers OEMs are using are provided as separate binaries.

Does D1 have only one leg attached? I don’t see any via hole that connects to the back side of the board.

It’s an installer for Termux packages. You can do the same thing manually in Termux shell, if you know the names of packages you are installing.

And yes, Termux uses Debian apt package manager.

Apollo 11 voice goes ‘4, 3, 2, 1, 0, liftoff’.

I can tell it’s some 32-bit millisecond counter without even opening the article. 49 days period is too specific.

And since I did not hear anything about MacOS network stack catastrophically breaking on any servers, the impact should be small.

Debian

The biggest online store in my country has 4GB flash drives permanently on sale for $3.

A Debian live image fits into 4GB flash drive. If you search stuff for sale you can probably find them cheap, and 4GB is practically the smallest size you can buy.

They still make an acceptable FTP server for backing up your huge tarballs.

Github is more involved, you need to create a release and then attach files to it. With sf.net you jist do a FTP upload.

If you are using KDE

But it’s on a dedicated server you have already paid for, which also hosts your own Minecraft game server with active players (mission-critical process which can never be allowed to stop).

Is this a blazer hoodie?
