@Edent "We need to make sure that your phone is secure. โฆ No, not like that."

@Edent
That train enrages me because it's the only train linking the cities and it's priced like a tourist cruise, not transport. -
@Edent
My recent work has been on banking apps, and Iโve long argued that root detection is silly and futile.
Iโll continue to argue that. -
@Edent "We need to make sure that your phone is secure. โฆ No, not like that."
@henryk @Edent ah, memories of proving your entire hardware and software stack and human processing was secure before banks would let you process card payments.. PCI DSS audit, where I found a major flaw in the banks (Barclays) own processes and had to call them out on it for sending unencrypted data to an unauthenticated network endpoint. Pretty sure that's changed a bit over the decades since then.

@Edent congratulations on year 1! I retired early back in March and have been enjoying every minute of it.

It was built by confiscating land from Mฤori... For an important national resource
But now the trucking and road lobby has killed off railway and left it as a tourist attraction on stolen land. -
@Edent I voted zero, but I've actually seen half of the first one.

@Edent being a keyboard and typewriter lover, I'm amazed that I've never seen anything like this before.
This conjures all sorts of questions! When was the first shift key added to allow for variable casing? Where does a model like this fall in the timeline of typewriter design? Was it just an oddball design or was it in competition with the more conventional designs that survived?
Does that museum answer any of these questions?

@Edent What a gorgeous beast

@sysop408 yup, it is fascinating ๐
There was, sadly, no other information. You can contact them at http://kaurimuseum.com/ -

A Master Printer friend of mine who I worked with, after going out of business in about 2003, decided to learn computers, having trained on Linotype but never touched a typewriter. He was amazed by the shift key on a Mac keyboard. Also by the delete/backspace key. They are indeed luxuries. And all luxuries are perilous.

@Edent but no 0...Apparently having a 5/8 key was more useful? I guess this was related to use of shillings and whatnot rather than expressing prices in decimal.
Or Maybe they reused the O (or the o) ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ -

@Edent Neat shot. All the fraction keys!
Wonder why the lower case e-r-t are so worn compared to the rest?

Larger offspring is going to #China for a school trip, so we caved and set up a cellphone for them. We will have to install some local spyware (#WeChat) because apparently a lot of Western stuff over there is locked and they'll need something to communicate among the students and teachers and they've settled for that. I'm also putting #DeltaChat there because at least for communication with us it'll hopefully work.

@michaelmathy @tournesol oh wow I had never thought of it this way... indeed if your phone number is 60 followed by 16 you're in so much trouble ๐โ

@elena @tournesol
When I was young and we used to spell phone number, I was always the stupid guy that asked when I heard 60 16, "vous voulez dire le nombre 7 et 6 ou soixante et seize" ?Like
06 60 16 ...
06 76 ...

@catsalad wow so pretty soon the one actually above board, legal use case of torrents (downloading open source Linux distros) is going to become illegal (downloading open source Linux distros with the ID verification removed).
