The 1976 TV Watch By Driva Geneve of Switzerland - Flashbak​

Before the iWatch and wearable tchnology, a watch made by Driva Geneve of Switzerland incorporated a TV, radio and calculator....

The 80's were great for data centers!

Mechanical calculators: computing without electricity​

Fast and complicated calculations are a product of fossil fuels. Multiplying and dividing numbers was not always that easy. Before the arrival of cheap electronic pocket calculators and computers in the 1970s, people relied on an array of low-tech means and machines to calculate taxes, profits or the properties of engineering parts. Being an obsolete technology now, some of these 19th and 20th century calculators are surprisingly sophisticated and fashionable. Moreover, most are powered by a crank, which makes these gadgets "green". Today's pocket calculators are no power hogs, either. The thing is that computers took over most calculating jobs from calculators, and a large supercomputer consumes as much energy as a convoy of trucks.

Data center flooring hasn’t changed much since the 80s. That pic looks exactly like most data centers I work in now.

I was doing an equipment config, under the floor in a NASA lab yesterday, and it looked just like that - only we have more wires & cables...

Yeah, I remember back in the day every time I got ripped I would think to myself "I should get a semi-automatic and go kill as many people as I can" before my buzz wore off!

Should You Install Windows 10 LTSC? Find out how this stripped-down Windows 10 build compares to the normal version.

Forgo Windows 10 and install Windows 11. I've been really happy with Windows 11.

Agreed, I've been on Windows 11 on my PC devices since late last year without issue.

That being said, the LTSC versions of Win 10 would be great on older less powerful devices, especially old Windows 8 based tablets.

What makes you happy with it?

WOW:


Just finally got a listen to the HarmonicDyne Helios. Not a bad-sounding headphone, seems worth the $80 I paid for it. Not going to replace either of my current ones, but I think it should do well in replacing the Superlux my buddy bought all those years ago when were mere poor college students.

It's more elegant. It works more smoothly. It's faster. Overall it's a less clunky more modern experience.

You do have to get used to the new toolbar and layout, but it's well worth it.

Upgrading one laptop. My desktop is good to go except it does not have a processor that is on the list. Anyone have experience upgrading in this instance?

If you want to change up your Start menu, and even put your Start button back to the left side, check out my post I made a bit ago here about a program called Start 11. That app and Groupy from the same company are must haves for me.
