  • Lol, what? More so than a firearm, that app is a tool. Scanners can be used to increase vigilance and engagement in a community, and to keep citizens informed about possibly very high stakes goings-on. In most places in the US, at least, it is your right to monitor any cleartext comms as long as you are not a convicted felon.

  • In Air Conditioners, what are EERs and how can I use it to calculate my electricity costs.
  • I'd say it's pretty damn difficult for both. The VFD speed is dependent on the gradient, just like the duty cycle of a conventional AC is.

  • In Air Conditioners, what are EERs and how can I use it to calculate my electricity costs.
  • Conventional ACs don't "operate at 100% all the time" either. The compressor is cycled by the thermostat. You cannot calculate consumption of either without knowing the temperature gradient between the conditioned and outside space.

  • [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
  • I can't stand the proselytizing powered by privilege on so many planes. Whether it's cost, availability, or time, people have many reasons for being mUrDeReRs. Nobody likes being condescended over things that are barely in their control as it is.

  • Need some advice on IPTV providers and VPNs
  • Don't you have anything better to do than be a tryhard online? You don't sound as clever as you think you do, bud.

  • Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech?
  • Free speech is merely an ill-defined right to speak without consequence from the government, not the right to a podium wherever you choose.

  • Actually, I have pirated on FreeBSD, for many years. I run all of those OSes in different roles at home every day. What are you trying to accuse me of? Not knowing what I am talking about? You're the indignant chode who is asking for help in this forum. I have never done that. I know how to use google and answer my own questions.

  • Need some advice on IPTV providers and VPNs
  • Triggered indeed, mister indignant wall of text. I use a Mac too. And Linux, FreeBSD, Android, and even Windows. But using an iOS device to pirate is like using a wrench as a hammer. Maybe you can do it, but it's not ideal.

    Anyway, if you don't like it here, there's the door. Deuces.

  • Need some advice on IPTV providers and VPNs
  • Waah, the answer isn't the one I wanted. Boo hoo hoo. I'm sure you've been pirating on iOS for 30 years and must know better.

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • Ever hear of Windows NT? Legacy DOS code was relegated to userspace long ago. And NT was designed by Dave Cutler, the guy who designed VMS and RSX-11. Most certainly not "shit piled on top of shit." Unix could have learned a thing or two from Dave but by then it was too late; the plane had very much taken off.

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • The Amiga's OS was written in 68k asm and BCPL (C's grandfather) for the kernel, and C was used for the utilities and GUI. But this was considered quite ahead of its time for a single user micro.

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • Most critical sections should be.

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • You're thinking of Shit Jobs, the FruitCo charlatan. Gates' pancake sort algorithm held the speed record for 30 years.

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • "Who the hell" writes an OS in assembler in the 80s? Uh, some of the utilities are in C, but compilers were slow and generated slow code back then, and it was quite noticable on a slow machine. When every byte of memory counts, you often need to hand-optimize.

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • His last product was the OS for the Tandy model 100 in 1983.

  • As you said, the younguns don't vote, and the ones dumb enough not to vote for Biden over this weren't going to vote for him anyway. The sooner I never hear the phrase "on TikTok" again, the better.

  • My mom's A1000 spontaneously started booting. Thought it was a CIA.

    Looks like the car ride over to the Rhode Island Computer Museum lab jostled some chips. I brought my scope and everything!

    Prospect Medical Holdings has hollowed out Our Lady of Fatima Hospital and Roger Williams Medical Center. But will being owned by a private foundation be any better for patients and workers?

    Fuck Prospect. Thank God for Neronha. This company should be forced to make these hospitals whole before any transfer of ownership occurs.
