Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has been that the answer to the Fermi Paradox might be found in biology - complex biological systems are rare. I’m increasingly of the view that the reason for The Great Silence is that civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet.

Hi - is it possible to convert the @axisipvideo proprietary file format .acsm from AXIS Camera Station 5 (NOT Adobe rights-management) to any standard video format? - it´s driving me nuts!

@duke_cpu Not the 8080, but the Intel 8251A that became available in 1980 - my then boss realized that with some TTL and no CPU we could deliver a serial port papertape reader and punch - the Midlectron M22 - as featured in ¨Never say never¨

@AldiUK Northwich, as I put in my message. Thank you

@AldiUK - why 20 items or less at self checkout? The store is not busy and only one manned lane - ridiculous

Hi @ZARA #traffordcentre - can you please help? My wife bought a skirt from you yesterday and unfortunately accidentally left it in the pubic toilets in @_traffordcentre - did anyone hand it in? - thanks!

Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan".

I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support.

I do not support the "Rwanda plan".

If you don't either, please retweet.
