This sounds like what a sexual predator would say to their victim: Just lay there, let me do this, do not resist, everything will be fine - and don't complain afterwards, because you got what you deserved. Secretary Bessent, we have a saying in Finland: "go ski into a pine tree"

Well hello there.

You know we could actually defeat Russia in Ukraine….if that was the REAL goal

The Internet Archive has rolled out an extremely effective new tool for searching for old Geocities GIFs. I'd apologize for what I'm about to do to this website as a result, but that would be a lie, because I won't feel sorry at all gifcities.org

Now this was a truly productive use of geek time. Very cool. Erroneously assembled 1974 Altair 8800 computer gets fixed and enjoys first run in 2026 — Intel 8080 powered machine ran its first program 52 years later

Trump has sent a letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, reports VG. In it, he links the Nobel Peace Prize to the crisis in Greenland. "I no longer feel any obligation to think only about peace," Trump writes. >

Don't expect much. Spines are in short supply, just like in US Congress.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

When your supine and spineless obsequiousness has worked so well that you feel the urge to double down.

A false narrative is now being spread online claiming that Ukraine supplied the United States with manipulated intelligence that was later used by Russia. There is no factual basis for this allegation.

I am a novelist. I have published both decent and bestselling work. All of my bestsellers were written while I was drunk and depressed. Since I've been sober and happier, I've not had a single bestseller.

The KIM-1 was an amazing little machine. It ran a whole universe of programming languages: BASIC, PASCAL, FORTH, FOCAL, VTL02, PILOT, and COMAL. But it wasn’t just about languages — there were so many practical applications too:

Appeasing a bully NEVER works. Might makes right in their world. Russia, Iran, Trump prove this! They can’t be given one inch.

The only U.S. heavy icebreaker turns 50. That's an interesting landmark given recent U.S. criticism of other countries for not taking Arctic security seriously.

You never did push back. You appeased and appeased, regardless of the magnitude of nonsense emanating from the orange turd, be it about Ukraine or tariffs unjustly imposed on EU and allies. You capitulated at every step, and you emboldened his expansionism. RESIGN!

Never buy anything from Amazon. Ever.

Injured Russian soldiers say they are forced back to the front despite disabilities.

Russian propagandist Solovyev suggested sinking Russian shadow fleet tankers if the U.S. forces seize them. In his opinion, Russia should respond by striking its own vessels with torpedoes. A good idea. I support it.

Det är konstigt, väljer man att få sina räkningar som brev kostar det minst 50kr extra medans alla jämra besiktningsbolag skickar ett brev hem varje år för varje fordon med förslag på besiktningstid.

Which transistors are used int he KIM-1 and clones? The LED driver and serial circuit require transistors. MOS used 2N5371 and 2N5375, in later KIM-1s a wider variety. A question in forum64.de in the Nachbau KIM-1 thread made me look at my KIM-1 retro.hansotten.nl/6502-sbc/kim...

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

Back in the days of Flash websites I was working on a campaign for a popular ABC TV show. Needed a sound effect from the show. Disney were so tight they hadn't given us the DVDs so the quickest way was to pirate the show and rip the audio.

I quit my job as a bus driver not because of the rude passengers or incompetent management, it was the endless waving at other bus drivers that broke me.

50 years of KIM-1! The birth can be traced to January 1976. The sale ended in 1981. KIM is Dead!!! Long KIM!!!

I loved kits like this when I was young.

Why is the KIM-1, s slow and minimal Computer so relevant for computing history? Let the pope Jim Butterfield tell you: groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.c... :

Morning.

Icelandic Ministry of Foreign affairs have asked the U.S. Embassy to clarify whether the incoming Ambassador really said this or not. There is currently around a 1.000 people who have signed a statement urging the government to reject Long as ambassador (the population of Iceland is 400.000).

What’s so special about the KIM-1 anyway? It was probably the cheapest way for a would-be computer programmer / hobbyist to get a pre-built working system. It could be expanded with extra memory and a terminal. It was the ideal software-meets-hardware experimenter system. Basic but flexible.

Eller som jag brukar kalla det: Livet.

Here are mine. A rev G KIM-1 and a licensed clone from Digitus of Sweden, serial number 008. #KIMat50 #ShowYourKIM1 #KIM1 #RetroComputing.

50 years of KIM-1 and me retro.hansotten.nl/50-years-of-... I have collected some KIM-1's over the years. The first KIM-1 in 1978, and now I have nine original KIM-1s, from first edition to Rev A, B, D, E , 2x F, 2xG. And several reproductions with 6532's as replacements.

The great thing about the KIM-1 is that if you don’t have an original you can build yourself a clone. Here is a PAL-II you can find on Tindie beside an original.

But you can’t beat the real thing. Look at those yellow capacitors!
