AFAIK in the USA you can’t have the main batteries be replaceable (I think an aux battery for wireless functions is allowed…).

EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.

What country? AFAIK in the US you can’t make the batteries replaceable. If they are wirelessly linked they can have auxiliary batteries for that, but (I believe) that’s different than the main battery…

EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.

We really need to see info from the BIOS — exact CPU model, RAM speed, etc.

As others have pointed out, this is a pretty anachronistic build — i586 with DDR1 is just weird, so it’s possible there’s some really niche hardware and you may need an exotic kernel (or kernel options) to get anything to boot.

That said: have you just tried running a standard live or install CD from that time period? You could try booting a 2001 Slackware installer to see what happens.

Can you post the CPU info? I think it should be available from the BIOS.

A French court has ordered Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco to poison their DNS resolvers…

There’s an audio illusion that’s somewhat analogous to the barber pole illusion — instead of a pattern which appears to always go up or down, you can have a sound which seems to always go up or down in pitch: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone

…I got better.

Please be direct and stop beating around the Bush.

Yeah…it’s pretty funny to see a bird running around with an apparently broken wing and then as soon as you’re out of threat range they fly away.

I still use my i5-4670k machine. It has a SATA SSD, only 8GB RAM, but it is a completely zippy machine. Ancient (by today’s standards) 750Ti, but I only rarely use it for old games (Xonotic and Portal2) and it doesn’t break a sweat.

Debian, i3wm, so it ends up being lightweight but that’s my preferred setup regardless of specs.

There are plenty of distributions without systemd — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributions_without_systemd

The Chevy Suburban is about the same weight now as in 1973 (5837lbs then, 5785-5993lbs now, according to Wikipedia).

It was huge then, it’s huge now.

The BMWs pictured are not the same class of car either — one is a coupe/sedan, one’s an SUV, so of course they will be radically different.

Don’t get m wrong, I think modern cars are too big and, in the case of BMW, way uglier than they used to be.

Looks like Slashdot no longer allows Anonymous Cowards. TIL.

FTFY

It could be fun to implement this under *NIX for fun — cronjob to take screenshots, some OCR, throw it in a database…I’d never want to use this “feature” but as an academic exercise it could be a fun project.

But having it implemented by my OS, and not by me…yikes. No thanks.

Well, that’s kinda besides the point right? The composition of “natural” food has huge variation. There is no “nutritional content of a banana.” There’s the nutritional content of this banana, of that banana, of an unripe banana, of a ripe banana, of an overripe banana…but these can be hugely different. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8266066/

For highly processed foods, I agree.

But for relatively unprocessed foods, seems completely reasonable to me at first glance. The relative sugar content of, say, an apple, is dependent on all sorts of parameters (sun, water, soil…). The gluten content of wheat, iron content of vegetables, all of these things are variable. The more “natural” a food is, the higher the variability (as opposed to, say, artificial candy — that should be pretty uniform).

Double-sided phone could be pretty neat.

Another option is to remove it and symlink it to a static version of your choosing. I believe NM won’t replace a symlink. You can just remove the symlink when you’re done and it should go back to normal…I think.

If you self host, or want to try it out, Immich is amazing. It feels very much like Google Photos, but you can run it completely locally. Great integration with desktop and mobile, both Android, and iOS.
