Soviet CDs And CD Players Existed, And They Were Strange Until the fall of the Soviet Union around 1990 you’d be forgiven as a proud Soviet citizen for thinking that the USSR’s technology was on par with the decadent West. After the Iron Curt…

Not that I spent much time thinking about it, but it looks like the #soviet union tried to jump-start their own CD and CD player industry in the 1980s. hackaday.com/2026/03/29/s...

Madness. Once you get into the Chinese characters and try to unpack which particle is the basis of similarity...

Interesting! Is this something ATOK + LLM?

Apple without Steve: Most impactful products of the 80s and 90s Apple is celebrating its 50th anniversary and Macworld is taking a look back at its most innovative and groundbreaking products.

#Apple made some great innovations (and also some serious blunders) during the era in which Jobs was absent. This article over on #MacWorld touches on a few of them. www.macworld.com/article/3094...

"Made in EU" - it was harder than I thought. I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure. Here's the stack I landed on, what was harder than expected, and what you still can't avoid.

Someone tried to go "Made in EU" for his development projects. Worth reading. www.coinerella.com/made-in-eu-i...

Right, maybe the way I put it was in-specific. We've had immutable Linux use for a really long time now, with embedding Linux in routers, for example, and update with flashing a ROM (and few doing it).

A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work The line between a Linux user and a Linux power user is a bit gray, and a bit wide. Most people who install Linux already have more computer literacy than average, and the platform has long encoura…

An interesting look at what you can do with an immutable OS like the version of Linux embedded in the Steam Deck #valve #steamdeck hackaday.com/2026/01/12/a...

Thanks for posting. Now reading...

However what I am not seeing is multi-polar warfare.

This list reads like the 'interests' list of people that are rich enough to attend WEF (at least the anti-'tech bros')

Oregon has' least restrictived' a lot of people to misery and death. There are a lot of Oregonians that have had to go into the criminal justice system multiple times before a judge decides its time to do something. This is entirely at the feet of the Oregon legislature.

That's an extension of the path of doom for Oregon. People making over $100K pay an effective rate of 31%. Over $250K, its 41%. Moving across the river then, makes a lot of sense. In the USA, the average is 25.95%. The answer is more middle class jobs and lower taxes.

#Carpetbagger Kotek has been an insider to the race-to-the-bottom of Oregon since 2006. Massive tax increases, lower affordability, education system near the bottom. Great support two previous two governors.

Absolutely fantastic film. Given its age, some might find it a bit more visceral than they'd otherwise suspect.

I am just going by what I see online as I stopped upgrading creative suite once they went to a subs only model. My personal vector needs are limited (I get by with Designer) - my business is more focused on 3D / fx markets, though we distributed a Japanese photography software for several years.

It looks like there is still criticism of #illustrator and not just old #freehand users.

It looks great! I'd really like to see some sort of statement / comparison to, say, Affinity Designer. I think there's definitely room for more than one vector design tool on the market. When there's one or more big fish, knowing the differences can make the difference.

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

It looks good though if you are shooting a 'research' scene for a movie that takes place in the 80s and earlier.

I saw them on that 'first farewell tour' as well in Portland. Good show but felt a bit ripped by the fact they kept coming back.

I'll check it out. I assume you've seen Noroi: The Curse?

Preparing your macOS software for sale on the #macappstore is a chore.

Subway is just too expensive now for these kinds of antics.
