@eevblog Just a harmless spider. Good to have around the house... preferably outside.

@realRetroPC Dial-up sounds, mIRC and Netscape Navigator.

@alicetherat @tvaziri So it was! Don't know how we missed that. This is a screen grab from the Blu-ray released in Europe...
(By the way, Hogan's Heroes looks brilliant in 1080p.)

[Halide Systems (Australia) @HalideSystems]

@alicetherat @tvaziri Which episode of Hogan's Heroes was this? This scene isn't familiar.

@Gammitin FlashPath adapters were common back in the late 1990's and early 2000's. They often came shipped with digital cameras (and video cameras capable of taking still photos) that used SmartMedia cards. Sharp was one such manufacturer of cameras. SmartMedia came in sizes up to 128MB.

@TechnoTimLive Yes, absolutely. Your DHCP server should be the "source of truth" for all devices on your network. Adding a reservation for static devices reduces the risk of conflicts, and it also means you don't need to keep other records (which means less to update and less prone to errors).

[Halide Systems (Australia) @HalideSystems]

@TechnoTimLive Now if only @Google would release this feature on their devices. It's such a basic thing but the Android equivalent only blocks calls from private numbers, not "unknown" numbers that aren't in your contacts list. C'mon @madebygoogle, it's not like you to be behind Apple!

@Rainmaker1973 Don't tell the flat earthers! They have a hard enough time with basic physics and mathematics.

@TrueNAS Installing a "new" LTO-5 tape library/auto-loader at home to handle my backups. Decommissioned from a site but still perfectly usable.

@WillieHowe @Ubiquiti 100% supportive of this. Those who are stuck in this mindset of "Ubiquiti isn't enterprise" are kidding themselves (and probably haven't touched a single bit of Ubiquiti kit before). We know of at least one major cybersecurity company in Australia that did just this.

[Halide Systems (Australia) @HalideSystems]

@ThisOldTech2 Yep, I'd say VRAM as the first culprit. Also make sure the connection between the video card (if it's off-board) and the slot is clean. The old "rubber band around your finger and clean the card connector" trick works well.

[Halide Systems (Australia) @HalideSystems]

@TomLawrenceTech What's wrong with that? At least the infrastructure still works after that major earthquake completely obliterated that rack!

@NanoRaptor Needs chilli.

@tercio_miranda Windows 2000 worse than Windows 10? Something is very wrong with that list.

[Halide Systems (Australia) @HalideSystems]

@jborg_arts Gees, talk about a blast from the past! Did anyone actually use the CompuServe Information Service back in the 1990's?

[Halide Systems (Australia) @HalideSystems]

@troyhunt Must have been opposite day.

[Halide Systems (Australia) @HalideSystems]

@wrongbaud Nice little units for a DOS gaming machine perhaps? Someone has mucked around with the OS/Software though as Chrome isn't a standard inclusion with the Cellebrite Touch disk image. It usually automatically boots into UFED as well.

[Halide Systems (Australia) @HalideSystems]

@AusSpaceAgency Is it just us, or is that Cosmo from the movie Sneakers?

[Halide Systems (Australia) @HalideSystems]

@crosstalksol The scammers aren't even trying anymore, are they?

@NanoRaptor Reminds me of my childhood. As does Jewel's/Franklins supermarkets and BBC Hardware. Have at it!
