Here’s an overview of what’s new 🧵
I've been asked if I can identify these audio cassettes that are in a university archive and I'm stumped.
They have two playback cutouts, and in one of the spools I can see 'Japan'. It would appear to be 30 minutes of tape.
Anyone got any ideas what machine they might have been used in?

@cstross The combination of a TV show and the sprocket holes made me think video tape. It's hard to gauge though without knowing the dimensions of the cassette. It might be a micro audio tape for all I know.
Just because the tape has a show from 1969 on the tape doesn't mean it's 1969 tech—that could be a newer format that someone recorded an old show on.
@ColesStreetPothole So you're telling me you never recorded the audio off the TV through a microphone onto a compact cassette because no real human beings could afford a video cassette recorder back in 1974?
Young folks these days, I swear!
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Lots of people sharing their love of A Fire Upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky, but don't miss Rainbows End.
It's perhaps a less successful story but remains, after almost two decades, the best description of what augmented reality games and ARGs might do to the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbows_End_(Vinge_novel)

@cstross Rainbows End is the one that lives in my head more than the rest of his books (though they all have their places in there).
Every time autocorrect fucks up again, I find myself wishing for the kind of interfaces described in Rainbows End.
@cstross NOOO. That's fucking *horrifying*.
I do like the idea of searchable marginalia, but not at that cost.

A thing I have periodically been pointing out for like 20 years now that nobody else seems to know is that you can write CSS that controls how your web page will look when it is printed out. You can even set up completely separate stylesheets for printing, and the browser will be smart enough to automatically use them when the user hits "print"

"Who Killed Asmodean?" was by far the most commonly asked question Robert Jordan received. He said the answer should be "intuitively obvious to the casual observer." So, who did you think it was at first?

Wrote an article about turning a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen laptop into a programmable USB device by enabling the xDCI controller 😯
Now I can emulate USB devices from the laptop without any external hardware, including via Raw Gadget or even Facedancer 😁
The overall process included fiddling with Linux kernel drivers, xHCI, DWC3, ACPI, BIOS/UEFI, Boot Guard, TPM, NVRAM, PCH, PMC, PSF, IOSF, and P2SB, and making a custom USB cable 😱

È notizia di un paio di giorni fa che insieme agli ip di alcuni siti di streaming video siano stati indiscriminatamente bloccati in toto gli ip di 2 CDN (cloud4c.com e parte di zenlayer), rendendo impossibile anche a chi avesse servizi leciti li sopra di essere raggiunti dall'Italia, l'organo che si occupa della faccenda (agcom) è un organo privato che si erge a "controllore", "multatore" e "bloccatore". Con il mer(d)aviglioso governo fascista che abbiamo ci vorrà poco affinché da un utilizzo anti pirateria si passi ai blocchi per fini politici adducendo motivazioni fantasiose (tipo il decreto antisemitismo di Salvini per gli artisti e le tv).

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).
The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .
#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

🚩https://developer.chrome.com/blog/resuming-the-transition-to-mv3/
EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.
Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening
Like FLoC and Privacy Sandbox before it, Google Chrome’s Manifest V3 is another example of the inherent conflict of interest that comes from Google controlling both the dominant web browser and one of the largest internet advertising networks.Electronic Frontier Foundation

When I was a smartass computer nerd in the 80s and 90s, an eternal theme was friends and family sheepishly asking me for tech support help, and me slowly, patiently explaining to them that computers aren't scary, they're actually predictable, they won't explode or erase your data (unless you really make an effort), and they operate by simple (if somewhat arcane) rules. Edit > Cut, then click, then Edit > Paste. Save As. Use tabs, not spaces. Stuff like that. Maybe not easy, but simple, or at least consistent and learnable.
But that's not true anymore.
User interfaces lag. Text lies. Buttons don't click. Buttons don't even look like buttons! Panels pop up and obscure your workspace and you can't move or remove them -- a tiny floating x and a few horizontal lines is all you get. Mobile and web apps lose your draft text, refresh at whim, silently swallow errors, mysteriously move shit around when you're not looking, hide menus, bury options, don't respect or don't remember your chosen settings. Doing the same thing gives different results. The carefully researched PARC principles of human-computer interaction -- feedback, discoverabilty, affordances, consistency, personalization -- all that fundamental Don Norman shit -- have been completely discarded.
My tech support calls now are about me sadly explaining there's nothing I can do. Computers suck now. They run on superstition, not science. It's a real tragedy for humanity and I have no idea how to fix it.

in reply to LaVi 🕊️📚🐈 • • •@LaVi 🕊️📚🐈 @Fabio mi pareva tempo fa di aver trovato su uno dei siti istituzionali (trenord o regione) che i treni soppressi contino uguali ai treni con più di 30 minuti di ritardo, ma adesso non ho il link sottomano (e non so se le nuove regole siano cambiate).
Comunque c'è il fatto che quei dati non dicono che i treni in ritardo sono ovviamente soprattutto in ora di punta (anche per ragioni ragionevoli, tutto sommato), e che quindi impattano molte più persone rispetto ai treni in orario alle 10 di mattina o alle 8 di sera.
