Thinking back on this Batman vs Superman thing... even though Superman is considered the boy scout, no other superhero exhibits the "be prepared" scout motto more than Batman. #bvs #batman

RIP Niklaus Wirth. Anyone who has studied some form of computer science would definitely have encountered some of his work. Pascal was one of the high-level programming languages I've used early in my CS journey. #rip #NiklausWirth

Just finished reading this book from @romero, cover to cover. Highly recommended reading. I just had to dig out two of my favorite big box games from storage. #doom

Raspberry Pi 5 is coming https://t.co/uim2qLI6Ek

@github A portable Sharp Pocket Computer where I programmed in BASIC to make scientific and statistical computations. Does that count?

Insanely simple. The RPi Pico based BlueSCSI v2 is a very turnkey solution for emulation of SCSI devices. Seen here as a bootable external drive to my Quadra 650 #bluescsi

Congratulations to ISRO for the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 lunar rover. Progress in science and engineering, from any nation, is my idea of great news. #Chandrayaan3

Here's a thought: The misspellings and grammar errors in phishing attempts are intentional for a phase to condition our minds to look for these errors. Once conditioned, we are more likely to fall prey to phishing attempts without grammatical errors.

Surprised to see that I was able to send a fax through the Ooma VoIP service, using an old laptop with a built-in fax modem. #ooma

@kminx @kevinmitnick Rest in peace, Kevin.

As a parent that had a kid go off to college, I can relate to that urgency felt in @shanselman's voice in trying to squeeze as many life instructions as I can in the few months that my kid was still living under my roof. Loved this podcast episode. https://t.co/rQ5K5GbSb9

@theo_albers @davidfowl You'd want to embrace Dependency Injection as far as you can, to avoid explicitly passing ISystemClock around.

@LEGO_Group 🫴 Is there one with a 🌟 inside? 😐

@Mac84tv @brassicGamer Years ago, I was able to have one of those common STB3 boxes boot MacOS 7.6 from a SCSI drive connected to the HDI30 port. But lacking the proper video drivers back then, I had no luck on video output.

[Peter W @KernelBoot]

@Mac84tv @techknight2 Wondering if the video drivers in that same hard drive image would run the hardware on the production STB3 boxes from a BlueSCSI hooked up to the HDI30 SCSI port.

I was a passenger when we were driving through some local area and I suddenly noticed 5G UC on my phone. A quick speed test showed 500Mbps. 🤯 #tmobile #5gspeed

Why haven’t aliens visited our solar system yet?

They looked at the reviews…

Only 1 star.

I resigned from Meta, and my internal post got leaked to the press, resulting in some fragmented quotes. Here is the full thing: https://t.co/iUcr8TYMLD
