That’s the fast lane to having every company that values their IP exiting Brazil. Apple would roll their certificates and quit signing whatever Brazil was building with and Brazil’s economy would be way worse off for nothing.

This era was before smartphones and always-online lifestyle. Being always online is a prerequisite to the attention economy.

So, yes, you’re right that the best internet was back then. Back when we could leave it at home and go out into the world knowing everybody else had also left it at home.

Laptops are an obvious exception back then, but almost nobody took their laptop to the bar with them, or to a concert, or on a hike, or to the grocery store. And the trouble of pulling it out and trying to find WiFi meant that it wasn’t easy enough to distract the majority.

This does not sound good for those people. Writing is a way of thinking. AI writing assistants are competitive cognitive artifacts. People who use AI to write most of their written communication will get worse at thinking through writing.

I’ve really wanted to do this, in large part because of tech neck. I’d love to have a HMD that has focusable optics so I don’t subconsciously strain my neck to look at my screen.

Anybody have recommendations? I’d love a dumb HMD with hdmi or usb-c video input.

What do you mainly use that supports tables?

I migrated from mediawiki to markdown in git 8 years ago and never looked back. The ability to publish to any number of static site hosts, and use any number of editors, some that have preview mode, is rad. Data liberty, data portability, wide support, easy to convert, easy to grep, good enough for 95% of written notes.

My biggest gripe is poor support for tables of data.

macOS may not be FreeBSD, but it definitely is a BSD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Unix#/media/File:Unix_history-simple.svg

the subjects could still go online using a computer

Are you suggesting that people who are intermittently connected to the internet instead of tethered to it by a pocket device are somehow more ignorant?

Dang, nice! I’ve been using dd for nearly 30 years and have never seen that. I actually used to used dcfldd because it had better progress reporting than dd (and supported repeated patterns for input). Thanks for sharing!

pv for life.

That is a totally fair explanation. End of story. No blame. Honest mistake.

I’ve done this kind of thing remotely in screen with ifdown eth0 ; sleep 10 ; ifup eth0 ;

The G4 had a hardware bit rotate function, and a 128 bit bus, meaning it could do 4 32-bit bit rotates per clock cycle. the Intel Pentium 4 needed to emulate that one instruction over 4 CPU cycles, and had a 32-bit bus. This made the G4 orders of magnitude faster than the top Intel chip at the time at certain tasks, like cracking rc5 on distributed.net, where G4 clusters absolutely dominated the top ranks.

Our peak rate of 270,147,024 kkeys/sec is equivalent to 32,504 800MHz Apple PowerBook G4 laptops or 45,998 2GHz AMD Athlon XP machines - https://blogs.distributed.net/2002/09/25/00/00/bovine/

Apple has been known to release powerful hardware.
