    I really don’t like mornings, but sometimes they’re good for photos.

    The silly thing arrived today. Like any printer, it is particularly curse. 🖨️ #RetroComputing

    Oh. My. Glob. Made the mistake of logging in to L*nkedIn. It’s spitting out human refrigerators at me as a solution to climate change. Keep your economic units — I mean employees — productive by shoving them in a fridge for five minutes a couple of times a day.

    This is a bit more threatening from an Apple ][ typing tutor than I would have expected. #RetroComputing

    So you remember how back when the internet was interesting and you could let your unused CPU cycles help towards finding extraterrestrial life? Back then I used to sometimes contribute computing time to the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. (https://www.mersenne.org) And I&#39;ve just had a terrible thought. Difficult mathematics with the occasional positive win. Is this what essentially inspired cryptocurrencies? &gt;.&lt;

    Everybody seems to remember the &#39;don&#39;t copy that floppy&#39; warnings, but the less-popular &#39;don&#39;t whisk that disk&#39; campaign has fallen into obscurity. 💾 #FloppyDay

    @mudge Hello from the land of generates-more-clean-electricity-than-we-can-use-and-export-and-so-SSE-often-turns-off-turbines, where we get to pay some of the highest electricity rates! ⚡️

    Are any of you other bitbang.social folk having any strange issues today?

    Want to try out #GlobalTalk but overwhelmed by all the setup? Maybe it&amp;#39;s time to whip out that old modem and try something new… The convenient dial-in service is now up and running! We have access numbers in the UK, and both Vancouvers in Canada and the USA. Full details are in my zone’s entry in the spreadsheet. Happy #MARCHintosh! ☎️ (ps: this is a voip line and the modem handshaking sounds are non-traditional and alllll over the place, so don&amp;#39;t let that scare you)

    With Amazon killing off all the old kindles, they’re super-cheap right now. And it turns out that jailbreaking is a minor faff, but not too difficult, really. This one was £10 and is going to somebody who was pondering getting an expensive eink ebook reader just a couple of weeks ago. :D #permacomputing

    Do any of you nerds have personal experience of those regular-bike-to-ebike conversion kits? Are they a cost-effective way of updating an old bike, or are they a pile of gimmicky garbage and best avoided? 🚲
