I did watch a old video about Toshiba selling 9axes CNC milling machines to the USSR in 1882. I can’t imagine the UI and ease of use on that thing.

@Maitre_Eolas on pensera ce qu'on veut de la politique économique des conservateurs, mais y'en a pas beaucoup d'autres qui vont joindre le geste à la parole et aller sucer un gros riche pour récupérer du ruissellement.
@Maitre_Eolas@spicyplume C'est intéressant parce que 2 des rôles du législateur sont de définir un vocabulaire et d'effacer des traditions.
