@fwaggle@reverseics Reminds me of a tech I used to work with. We had a short that electrified a cabinet. When he touched it, it shocked him. But rather than tell anyone what was going on, he would say "It socks me when I do this" and touch it, shocking himself. Again. 😆
@reverseics@cR0w Infosec is also a button that shocks you when you push it and a bunch of motherfuckers who will go "huh, I wonder if that happens *every* time?"
@copper_tunic it's kind of hard to say because I think the vhs effect is not playing nice with the video encoding. i think it looks neat on the text at least.
speaking generally, i think it is better to have the option to turn effects like these off at the very least. some people might find them hard to look at, and it can also be problematic for streaming
Maybe you just didn't see my post. Right? That must be what happened.
I mean we wouldn't want anything...unfortunate...to happen, from a simple mistake, right?
*Gives the stare of a gangster, but like a really tired and out of shape gangster. Also a gangster that looks kind of like he'd give you a hug if you needed it.*
👻🚂Locomotive graveyard. Lebanon’s ghost train stations stand frozen in time and choked by unchecked plant growth.The first railway opened in 1895 under the Ottoman Empire. It ran from Beirut to Damascus. By the 1930s, Lebanon had joined the Orient Express network via the Taurus Express link through Homs.After decades of decline and wartime damage, the final train service ran in 1990.#Lebanon #Trains #SteamTrain #Steam #Locomotive #Transport #Rust #Train
@ajsadauskas @luca Here's a good article on Hartley Computer: https://ia.acs.org.au/article/2017/acs-heritage-project--chapter-34.html"David Hartley (not to be confused with the British computer scientist of the same name) started his working life in 1966 as a civil engineer with Brisbane City Council. His work later took him to Namibia in southern Africa, where he was introduced to computing while conducting mathematical modelling of rainfall in the vast Okavango river basin, using FORTRAN on an ICT 1500."When he returned to Australia he decided that computing was more interesting than civil engineering. He started Hartley Computer in Brisbane in 1974 to develop software for the accounting profession, on the rationale that accounting could be easily computerised but that many in the profession did not realise that...."The new software was very successful – it was the only software in Australia designed specifically for small accounting practices. Hartley also designed SHEILA (System by Hartley for Entirely Integrated Ledger Accounting) for larger organisations. The venture included building hardware (the Hartley 3900) and an operating system. Both the hardware and the software were very innovative....“The operating system was called RT86, a ‘true pre-emptive multi-user multi-tasking operating system for the 8086 chip. It was launched in 1980, 15 years before Windows PCs had that capability.“Hartley Computer was one of the first mini/PC computer vertical market successes in the world, with ultimately 250 staff and 3,000 sites in seven countries. In the process I became known as ‘the father of computer client accounting’, and we won several awards. The success was killed by hubris and a messy divorce. Big lessons, only partly learned at the time.”
