My Father had a ‘car phone’ from 1990-1999ish and then switched to a nokia 3210 or similar. While he had the ‘car phone’, he kept a phone book in the car. By the time of the Nokia, his outbound calling was predictable enough that he either had it saved on the phone or he used ‘411’ to have an operator look up the number.

Thank you for the additional information and effort in sharing this. This is really well written - informative, easy to read, and enjoyable.
The war reparations that France demanded of Germany post WW1 contributed to creating an economic environment where the rise of a ‘National Socialist’ party seemed like a good idea to the average German. IIRC, America and Britain tried to get France to be more reasonable and France basically said “I’ll keep whipping until they stop crying” The Dawes plan helped provide European stability at the end of the 20s, but the crushing debt was used by Hitler as a tool in his rise to power.

I guess it’s a good thing the Debian releases all have version numbers then.
Correct answer. You can see the ground fractured around the pole.

It’s good for bragging rights, but a u2955 Celeron Chromebook is better value for money.
I duct taped a RPi4 to the back of a Motorola Lapdock and used custom cables to make the combo into the worst laptop ever. If yours counts, mine does too. This is what the Lapdock looks like:
I’ve got a 500mhz Celeron from the P3 days, it runs OS/2 and has an ISA EPROM burner card in it.

Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.

My i5-4690 and i7-4770 machines remain competitive to this day, even with spectre patches in place. I saw no reason to ‘upgrade’ to 6/7/8th gen CPUs.
I’m looking for a new desktop now, but for the costs involved I might just end up parting together a HP Z6 G4 with server surplus cpu/ram. The costs of going to 11th+ desktop Intel don’t seem worth it.
I’m going to look at the more recent AMD offerings, but I’m not sure they’ll compete with surplus server kit.

Maybe Centaur + Top-half-fish mermaid?
That genuinely does sound like a lot of fun.
