How about some of the PC “clones” that used older dumb terminal components and ports, probably to ease upgrades on accessories for some corporations.

Our computer lab in college had these NEC/AT&T 386 desktops that had RJ-11 keyboard ports that didn’t work anywhere else.

I have noticed the problem on a few different days this week including right now (Oct 24 @ 14:25 EST).

From what I see, the issue is the API url (https://api.pinboard.in) timing out.

The web interface seems working, albeit a bit slow.

However, on mobile iOS Safari there’s no standard way to trigger a tooltip that I’m aware of.

Same at my University in the mid-90s. I was the CS department network admin and we had an entire /24 to use as we liked.

At least it taught me how to detect attempted hacks early because every machine had to be monitored for attacks.

I just looked and they still have a /16 (65k public addresses). This is for a school that has maybe 15k students, not all of them living on the campus. And I’m sure most of the computing takes place in the cloud now anyway.

I know there are a lot of places who were on the Net early besides the military that have excess address capacity.

I think basically it’s the Scientific Method in action. Use the best evidence until even better evidence is presented.

Sorry.. as a fan I couldn’t resist.

I was going to use this! RIP Neil.

Same here. Trying to type anything on that thing (especially copying the code out of magazines) was just horrible.

Edit: just remembered something that made it even worse than just the awful keys - all reserved words for BASIC were tokenized in some way where you had to use a control-key sequence to tell it PRINT, for instance, instead of being able to type P,R,I,N,T <enter>.

I assume you looked into Accutane treatment? It has worked wonders for multiple people I know.

I was on Claravis for 8 months with no improvement. Still looking for a remedy, even if just temporary.

I will say that initially Accutane worked. For the first few months it cleared up the acne on my face but after a few more months it came back with a vengeance.

Back in the day I upped the RAM and put a set of virtual machines on our VP of Marketing’s laptop with copies of our staging server, db, data… the works. He just started it up and browsed away.

He loved doing demos without a network connection etc. Back then WiFi was always restricted and hot spots too slow.

This actually can become a problem in the future. Here in Montgomery County, Maryland there was an old rail line converted to a bike path but always with the intention of adding light rail to a portion of it.

20 years later, they started the project and the local cycling groups are upset because their path has to be split and rerouted in places to support the new line. Delayed the thing many years as a result.
