Viele 🚗 🚚 🚗 treffen sich gerade auf der A100: Wilmersdorf -> Neukölln, zwischen 0.4 km hinter AS Innsbrucker Platz und 0.1 km vor AS Alboinstraße und blockieren die #Autobahn.

Es könnte sein, dass sie heute die #EU-weit verpflichtende Installation eines intelligenten, übersteuerbaren Geschwindigkeitsassistenten in alle #Neufahrzeuge fordern. Das könnte langfristig die Zahl der #Verkehrstote​n um 20% reduzieren. Viel weniger Autos hätten #Totalschaden. 🚗⚠️ #Verkehrssicherheit #ISA (Quelle: ETSC)

#Isä't hoi! #Isävitsi haussa. Pitäisi kääntää tämmöinen jono #KDEPlasma-työpöytäympäristöön:

”I never meta key I didn't like”

(Meta-näppäin on siis näppäin, jossa yleensä on Windows-logo, ja vitsi on, että ”met a” ja ”meta” ääntyvät samoin.) Kehittäjän kommentti: ”This is a terrible dad joke about the meta key on the keyboard being able to have many symbols. Translate it into one of similar groanworthiness if this is possible; if not, translate it as an empty string.” #l10n #kotoistaminen

@timixretroplays yeah, I guess this shows @rasteri build this before businesses started upgrading tech.

I wished DM&P / ICOP would increase production or that there was an easier way to get other #ix86 SBCs from like #VIA (remember when they made #CUP|s?) or some #embedded variants from #Intel or #AMD.

#DOSBOX or similar do work well, but they don't provide the necessary I/O for a lot of use-cases.

Maybe you can drop in a different #Vortex86 which also has #ISA?

  • I know there are also Vortex86EX2 and others that may be an option...

I guess @rasteri and other #PC104 users can now get the beloved #ISA-#USB #Flashdrive card with native PC104 pinout to stack on boards.

  • Not that this is much of an engineering feat, as PC/104 is just a different form factor of ISA, but still nifty for #legacy / #industrial setups that may want to have more flexibility re: data storage.

I wounder if anyone got those ISA-USB controllers to work on #Linux distros tho.

  • Obviously they're slow (according to @TechTangents in the realm of a 1x CD-ROM drive) and not bootable, but still useful for systems without native USB ports.

I sadly don't have any system with ISA or PC/104 at hand (gotta build one i.e. #tiny486) so I can't test it anyway, but maybe a future revision of the #WeeCee may benefit from such an option (which I think also has the potential to be a good "bridge machine" for people dealing with legacy / industrial systems...

„The international sociological association (#ISA) reiterates its declaration that, as part of its public stance against the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, it has no institutional relationships with Israeli public institutions.

We regret that the Israeli Sociological Society has not taken a clear position condemning the dramatic situation in Gaza. In a decision that reflects the extraordinary gravity of the current situation, the Executive Committee has decided to suspend the collective membership of the Israeli Sociological Society (#ISS).“

Given that I want to target i486 with @OS1337 but don't want to deal with obsolete hardware that is dying of old age, I think it's more fitting to consider a sort-of mainboard to shove some 486SX-SOM with PC/104-Plus on and have the few necessities hooked up to it. Maybe even put it inside a THINN #Pizzabox-style #case?

It would also make a new "bridge" machine to interface old PCI & ISA hardware and allow connecting i.e. a #QuadFlop and roll with that...

Thoughts, @rasteri @polpo @TechTangents @lazygamereviews @foone ??

👴💾 Ah, the thrilling world of #transputer #ISA boards! Because nothing says "modern #tech innovator" like developing hardware for a processor that's barely younger than your dad's Walkman. 🎶📼 But hey, at least your Javascript emulator lets you relive the glory days of 1993—because who doesn't want to party like it's 1996? 🎉
