These guys actually tracked down a copy of Archie (including the source code) and now have a public Archie server back online!
Archie was the Internet's first search engine (before the web existed). I remember using it in the early 90s.
It's pretty funny how usable 90s tech is: imagine, a search engine that just gives you direct links to file downloads without any other nonsense involved!
What's crazy is that China is subsidizing the shit out of EVs, but also that Chinese EVs are also just way the fuck better than everybody else's.
Legacy manufacturers are just handing the market over the China. They're going to try to ban them with import taxes, but eventually the Chinese automakers will take over.
Of course, all of this will ultimately suck for cities where we need fewer cars, not different cars.
@notjustbikes not only EVs, asia is absolutely styling on on everyone else in terms of mopeds as well.
Gogoro is making mopeds that are borderline scifi and have deployed a really good battery swapping system in like 10 countries, it's despicable that the EU hasn't even started working on its own battery swap standard..
@notjustbikes@implicitdeny There are "USB-PD breakout boards" that allow you to just get a requested voltage and amperage out of a USB-PD power supply and those aren't too expensive iirc, so combining that with another negotiator shouldn't be too expensive
@krt3k yeah, I know they exist. I own lots of them! 😁
But the trickier part is re-negotiating USB-PD to the phone. This isn't rocket science, and just would require a microcontroller and another USB-PD chip, but the cost would add up for a low volume commercial product.
I booked the HIGH RAIL train, which is billed as a stargazing train.
I thought I was getting a train where you look at the stars from the train.
But no, it's a train where you go to the station near the Nobeyama Radio Observatory, get out for 40 minutes, and try to see stars from the parking lot.
Oh, and there's a detailed guided explanation in Japanese. And a small planetarium on board.
It's probably better if you watch on Nebula (though downloading a video with YouTube Premium is very good, too), but I really don't think it matters all that much. Do whatever is easiest for you.
I prefer watching on Nebula, so I do that (for other creators).
