What's the most outdated piece of tech you own and still use regularly? 🤔

@nixCraft I have a Black and Decker saber saw that was made in North Carolina. It was my grandfather's; I've never needed to replace it.

I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy https://github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

After hinting that he would support a total federal abortion ban, Trump has reversed course and said it should be left to the states.

What kind of Mr. Magoo ass captain was driving that ship? How could you not see a bridge??

DaleOh,
@DaleOh@mastodon.social avatar

@dugglebutt Bay pilots (not the captain) were directing the ship. They're the ones that called mayday to let the bridge operators know that they'd lost power. Chesapeake Bay pilots are some of the coolest heads in the world; they saved lives by stopping traffic on the bridge.

He’s here! The prototype, anyway. He’s big, squishy, and friend-shaped. We’ll try to make him as affordable as possible. You’ll have to wait a couple more months to get one, but we might open pre-orders relatively soon.

@Gargron Yeah, I need one for my granddaughter.

Are we doing science reporting or what? What kind of reporting is this and the unit? Please stick to measuring space objects in meters or kilometers and not this washing machine as a size unit.
