Re: FLoC
I've had the patience to check how to repair some of that planned obsolescence stuff. For rubber buttons, foiled based keyboards and glass backed circuitry, Conductive ink is very helpful. Then, the issue is mainly the way to open the circuits to service them. In several cases, the guides published ...

Re: Storms roaming around.
I spent at least half of my 36 years with Motorola working with those machines you describe and which are highlighted in the video. What I saw in the video was about the level at which production was when I left Motorola, but I also worked for them when radio boards where hand soldered, through the...

Re: Storms roaming around.
That job was in a start up that had two lines of business, one was for electric bicycles. The hardware and firmware of the electronics was designed in house. In that video I'm showing in a gross manner the assembly steps for a battery management system card, that was used for the bicycle batteries. ...

Re: Receiving the tradition season...
Maybe the idea behind the attention to dogs had more than one reason. As there were no beef, pork, lamb or chicken cattle, the protein sources had to be different from those that Europeans had. Apart of serving as company and hunting animals, dogs were also raised as a protein source, along with igu...

Re: Computer Prices 1970-today
Interesting, I remember the first ones I saw personally, and that were on a dedicated space at Aurrerá Satélite, were the Commodores. I remember escaping my parents view while shopping groceries to find a book on Basic programs for Commodore and typing one just to see them working... I may have been...

Re: Receiving the tradition season...
To continue to post about the background of the tradition, and the way a cultural group faced mortality, this time I'm going to post about the Mythological vision of the Aztecs of the universe. Taking into account that this conception had no reference from European myths. Personally, although I'm al...

Re: Storms roaming around.
Automation, and robots of sorts, have been around for a long time. What's different about today's world is that those machines are getting some intelligence. In my line of work I got to see and work with machines that built circuit boards and loaded them with the tiniest parts you could imagine. It...

Re: Storms roaming around.
You are pointing it correctly, Dennis. It's all a matter of density, and of mobility. As you point out, It's not always worth driving 6 miles just to but a thing or two at your nearest Costco, to say someplace, so it makes mores sense to drive two or three to go either to the nearest Schnucks or Wal...

Re: WWW Code For Sale as NFT
Regarding hot products, what I saw when I was servicing distribution centers is that many of the hot products are treated as "seasonal impulse promotions", where ads are aggressively programmed and production is increased by a planned percentage. They use an scarcity economy model to keep ...

Re: Receiving the tradition season...
We have to be conscious that such excerpt may have been deformed by translation, and that it was written probably around 1450, by someone that had no reference to the Mediterranean cultures, and as such the intention was to remind the limits of human life. Part of our consciousness relays on the fac...

Re: Receiving the tradition season...
In retrospect, the development of such traditions can be traced to the development of Stoic philosophy, both from the side of the Greeks permeating through Romans and then to all the Mediterranean cultures, and on the other side, from all the natives that populated the whole of North America, and we...

Re: Receiving the tradition season...
That's a good reference... It adds to the syncretism of the "Day of the Dead" traditions, as we understand them down here. I found this published in Zuckereberger's site. See, the "Day of the dead" was an introduction from the Spanish priests and conquerors, that happened to be h...

Receiving the tradition season...
I've been thinking to wait a bit more to include some traditions here, but I was reminded that the season has already begun. May this text be an introduction of the intentions. Unknown author.

Re: WWW Code For Sale as NFT
But the obituary ads bearing the phrase "In Lieu of Flowers, please donate to," really hurt the floral industry big time. And as we all know, about 85% of what is donated goes into some big shots pocket and not for the reason the charity was founded. And such is life! Had to check a trans...

Re: Storms roaming around.
It seems that all large cities went through a similar evolution as did Chicago. The downtown area was the first common gathering point with all the markets and shops. Initially it was all farmland that surrounded the cities but the downtown areas grew rapidly and expanded out into the neighboring r...

Re: FLoC
I happened to got used to the way M$ did things up to Office 2000. Then they redesigned their entire menu tree, and it took several tries to find the way to handle things with the new UI. Drawing stuff in M$Word became a nightmare. Both Libre Office and Open Office are more or less stable, and let u...

Re: Storms roaming around.
