    Just wild. While cleaning out a university basement, staff found a tape of what's believed to be the only remaining copy of Bell Labs #Unix v4 from 1973.https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/07/unix_fourth_edition_tape_rediscovered/#history #belllabs #computing #tech

    Calling #typewriter users! Does anyone know where to source a manual for this? (Panasonic electric t36, or is there somewhere other than the top front to find the model number? πŸ˜…) This should get me back to writing when my hands are sore and I can't do screens, so I'm excited! I've used a similar one at work, but could use a refresher on maintenance, and if anyone knows where to find replacement parts/ribbons I would appreciate it! #maintenance #repair #vintage #tech #diy #boost #writing

    Microsoft is killing Windows 10 and for many countries and users, updates will stop today. It is time to look for options.@brucelawson has a suggestion for you. IMHO there are many Linux distributions to choose between and you will need to choose the one that works best for you.I recently switched to Linux as my primary platform myself.My plea, however, to the Linux community is to make it easy for people to switch to Linux, but also to make it easy to switch window managers, key chains and the like. I switched to Ubuntu myself and I am finding certain things with Gnome were a pain. Thus I tried switching to KDE, but found that broke a lot of things. IMHO we should strive to make it easy for users to switch between window managers and desktops as well as applications, without breaking things. That requires the different players to work together to ensure that switching from one desktop to another, for example, does not need to mean loosing passwords. Locking in is one of the things Big Tech is known for. Linux should not have that, IMHO.#Windows #Windows10 #Linux #computing #Technology https://brucelawson.co.uk/2025/goodbye-windows-10-hello-zorin-os/

    Not even our mirrors stay clean forever! 🧽Optical engineer Jaime GonzΓ‘lez is checking for large particles on a VLT mirror. This step is part of a periodic cleaning process that keeps the mirrors ultra-precise & super-reflective.Find out how this is done: https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2539a/And for a deeper dive: https://www.eso.org/public/blog/exploding-snow/πŸ“· ESO/N.
