Special season man one of the best seasons we been a part of as a fan. We will be back we will build on this and get better players and have our franchise QB back. Love this team for life 🫡 #BroncosCountry

[N G V ♥ @NatalieG_V]

Not the result I wanted, but at least we had a great season. Looking forward to September!

Great season Denver broncos

[Andrew Mason @MaseDenver]

Patriots 10, Broncos 7 — FINAL

The Broncos were snowed out. Stidham hit one deep pass early and guided one TD drive and the O did little else after that. The defense was heroic, but gave up a short-field TD after a Stidham fumble under pressure. Lutz missed 2 FGs. Season ends.

Early game story on Patriots defeating #Broncos 10-7 in AFC Championship Game. Two plays in first half come back to haunt them. https://t.co/jksBfXAwTL

Three down, one to go.

The Darth Vader hallway scene in Rogue One (2016) was a last-minute addition, and it ended up being one of the greatest creative decisions in Star Wars history.

No disrespect to Linus Torvalds, but this guy is the greatest geek alive 🫡

Created UNIX in 1971 when he was 28 years old.
Created Go in 2009 when he was 66 years old😲

He also developed the B programming language (which led to C), created UTF-8 encoding (making international text possible online), and designed essential tools like grep that developers still rely on daily.

He also helped with the development of Multics (that led to UNIX), Plan 9 from Bell Labs and Inferno operating systems.

That's 4 operating systems in total... Most people don't even use these many OS.

Pretty impressive resume, right? 🔥

And it's a shame that many people, even the ones in the IT and tech industry, don't know him.

Ken Thompson.... Remember the name 🙏

This is the PDP-11/83 I've been working on... it's got a lot of pretty das blinkenlights!

It's running 211BSD UNIX that I custom compiled to make it all work. I had to tweak the kernel's idle loop to get the display panel to work, as this setup uses fast PMI (private memory interface) between the RAM and CPU, so the panel can't see it happen unless you cheat a little!

The dual floppy unit is wild... a single stepper motor moves the heads on BOTH drives at the same time, so they're like conjoined drives.

The bus spans three chassis, which are the three grey boxes. So unlike a PC, you can just "add most slots" and keep going to your heart's content!

I had one of these in my CB Radio Days.

[HarmlessHAM @harmlesshamCQ]

The Astatic D-104 mic: a true icon of the golden age of amateur radio. Born in the 1930s, its ‘lollipop’ design and crystal element became legendary for its clear, punchy audio. From ham shacks to CB radios, it’s the voice of a bygone era that still echoes today. 🎙️ #HamRadio

Brings back memories...
I started with a US ROBOTICS PalmPilot

Ended up with a Palm Treo Phone.

Sad -
I've been following and tuning in to VOA since the 1960's.
I received my very first QSL Card from VOA for my reception report when I was in grade school.
