    Man, I'm disappointed. What's the deal with the images, Galicians are short?

    There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this.

    Ah yes. That strangely-heavy Mac 512. That was a good video.

    Guy gets an old Macintosh 512 that doesn't work. Goes to open it for repair, notices it is strangely heavy. Opens it up and a bigass full-height 5.25" hard drive is staring him in the face from behind the case of this "unexpandable" "floppy-only" system.

    Turns out the company that made this hard disk controller(called a Hyperdrive board, and I love the name) decided to give Steve Jobs the finger in the most blatant way possible(other than actually etching an illustration of the bird onto the board).
    "You say your computer is unexpandable and unmodifiable? There's no expansion bus and it shall be thrown away when it ceases to meet our needs? Well, all the address and data lines end at the CPU, so we're just gonna clip a ribbon cable on top of it and MAKE an expansion bus for our hard disk controller. We think Wozniak would approve. Also, we're taping a fan into this air vent. It isn't even fanless anymore. "

    I wonder if Burrell Smith would approve (and if he actually pissed over Jobs' grave after he died)

    Some retro computer enthusiast tried "mining" buttcoins on a 1960s computer:
    https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/19/07/09/0545255/bitcoin-mining-on-an-apollo-guidance-computer-103-seconds-per-hash
    The computer system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer

    The results? A total and complete waste of money and electricity, all in the name of lulz (and the guy needed a reasonabl workload for stress-testing his repair job, or something). But hey, this thing went to SPACE, where no buttcoin has been before.

    Now, how about porting higan to this thing...

    Youtube now uses URL redirection for URL's that lead outside of Youtube. You can use this Greasemonkey script to undo the mangling of URL hyperlinks: https://old.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/cdrij9/gamers_nexus_pbo_doesnt_do_what_you_think_it_does/etwns53/

    Isn't a better long-term solution to rewrite all your links according to the Redirector addon's patterns, or some such, eliminating the entire class of issues?

    Personally, I just do the middle click -> click -> end -> select with mouse -> delete -> CTRL-A -> CTRL-X -> CTRL-V dance. Although it certainly isn't efficient.

    Can't you just click on it and then copy the URL, I mean?

    "Copy link address" does not give you the short, correct URL. I just tried it myself.

    Click on it as in follow. That is, open in new tab if you're using the context menu.

    ...he said, while using Youtube.

    Personally, I just use Tor Browser with scripts on. Solves all these issues and then some. Never have to worry about tracking, never have to worry about getting fined. Speed is, contrary to popular belief, good enough for all practical purposes. The downside is no ad blocker, of course.

    But my point anyway was that it'd be more productive to rewrite all such links in the page, rather than either rewriting only Youtube's outbound links or only locally redirecting all such links.

    For instance, Google does the same thing for their search results. And I think there's an addon which fixes the redirects (e.g. like Redirector, but with a default list like (Ad|u)Block). But I don't think there's any addons which rewrite the URLs in situ.

    OK, that rewrites them in situ, but only for Google (and Yandex). But is there such an add-on that does this for every site?

    I mean, then that fixes the whole URL tracking issue without having to put in a new Greasemonkey script for each site. Just load the list and go. Or ideally, have someone else compile the list for you and do nothing.

    Naming stuff is hard. Coming with clever acronyms for your names is even harder.

    This applies for everything, from molecules to cellphone apps.

    True story: at $FORMER_JOB, we were trying to come up with a new PoS app. $FORMER_BOSS and me spent like 3 hours searching every name we could think in Google until we found one that wasn't in use... and that HE liked (fun fact: xPOS 4-character sequences were all used up, some of them by non-PoS-related products!). He ended picking some lameloid name (to the lines of "Simple Invoices" or something like that).

    Nevermind the fact that I got laid off after only 3 months of development, where the only stuff that I managed to code was a very incomplete product catalog module.

    My DSL line revives briefly, and everything now sucks harder:



    Oh, and my favorite porn doujinshi site (you know which one, you bastards!) is about to close its doors because a bunch of Euro politicians having a boner about fighting 2D "perversion". This happened literally yesterday. FUCK.

    Now, if only Steam could download its 230MB update (x4) before CANTV dies... AGAIN.
