On the other side of this, you have company’s that are in tangential fields looking to grab up a piece of that pie. Electricians, low voltage companies, fucking furniture companies (oh, we totally do audiovisual, that’s similar enough), the C-suite is trying to force their way into this new golden goose and expecting their staff to be able to handle this without training, time, or real hands on experience. And, no, a 2 day workshop from a manufacturer isn’t really “training”, at least not the only training needed…

Well, but you have an international airport close by, a major mall, rent’s in the mail, and you can always find a parking space. Women out number the men two to one and there’s parks and zoos and… Shhh.

Yeah Famous Dave seems to have lost a step since he sold his namesake…

I mean… Dave Anderson’s Old Southern BBQ is called southern… Won some awards.

To be fair, I have only had BBQ in Texas and Memphis, so grain of salt.

Else you have black market st. Paul - wouldn’t call it “southern” when it’s -10 degrees and they are smoking up some pork, but damn good smoked BBQ.

Minnesota State fair. Boiled peanuts were added in 2022.

Next?

So if I turn the car battery upside down, a 12v DC battery should run a 120v AC appliance?? Brilliant! I have an idea for how we can use this with two fans to create infinite energy!

Omg this is amazing.

Not only is this awesome, but their list of books stores to support has expanded my bookstore list by like 20 places…

Do you know what BSOD is?

And then donate to the devs directly?

It isn’t. It would most likely be windows IoT. it’s an embedded windows OS that allows for a single app instance to be running.

You’d be surprised how many things run windows IoT right now…

I mean… Most of the places near me a burger with a sides is typically like $13 - $16 and I am definitely in the Midwest…

Nmap, Wireshark, zenmap at work.

Oh! Thank you for this!

Because now manufacturers are tying the last year of their warranty to having the devices connected to their stupid information harvesting apps.

No love for librera yet. That scroll mode for PDFs saves my life for technical documentation.

Yeah, oldest electronic, or oldest thing? I have a set of fireproof bankers drawers with a functioning rotary lock from like 1917. Oldest electronic… Do speakers count? I have a set of Acoustalinear speakers hooked up to a sound system… Or my grandpa’s old neon sign from the 1950s (although it has some newer parts… Ballasts and what not do not last for ever). I also have some old electric tube transistors in an old radio I restored that have “made in West Germany” stamped on them… But those might be from the 90s… I am not sure.

What? There have been hundreds of experiments confirming many different hypotheses of quantum physics…

The photoelectric effect you have seen nearly every day (have you every used a modern camera with auto-iris? What about solar power?)

The double-slit experiment proves that subatomic particles can act as both a particle and a wave, which is pretty instrumental in further theories of QM.

Freedman-Clause verified quantum entagnlement.

Usage of Nuclear energy for both bombs and generating electrical power…

Superconductors and Cooper-pairs.

Even the other poster joking about the Copenhagen interpretation - Copenhagen lead to discoveries in Qubit measurement (read up on Quantum State Tomography).

Quantum physics isn’t one single, independent theory… And it keeps evolving as our understanding changes.

Technically this is discrimination based on age.

They were born 4/20/(year). You could make an argument they are discriminating all people exactly (X) years, 4 months, and 2 days old.
