Seems to have been converted to become a convertible. Did you find any instructions to replicate this mod if I find a stock laptop?

Almost 40 artillery units destroyed?! I really hope that russia is going to finally grind itself down with this stupid endeavour.

Reiterating why I find so many magazine to be trash nowadays.

Overly set up for SEO, poorly researched and often just crammed with shitty ads. That they completely neglected the formats used by pirating and home content speaks volumes.

That's why I now often prefer to just look up stuff on enthusiast forums, Reddit or to some extent Lemmy. The last hasn't gotten as good of an integration with search engines.

Those motors are just incredible. That they can haul a drone of this small size while carrying a heavy round t speed without melting is just mad.

I'm not sure about ATMs, they often ran OS/2.

Windows CE often ran media centres or UI panels in things like John Deere tractors or the Fiat 500.

It was also the OS that ran the Dreamcasts UI.

Not sure what's scarier, a the sound of a little terror drone before an explosion. Or the silence, the feeling of security that there's nothing on a recently cleared path and then seeing my mates vehicle blow up.

Yup. Been there, done that :) Although, if you come in as a Westerner, I do recommend buying a genuine Honda. The hassles your save yourselves compared to the cheap Chinese clones are worth the "premium".

Mind you, you can buy good used bikes for well below 500 USD. A new Wave 110i is just under 1100 USD in Thailand.

Workhorse. Looks to me like a clone of a Honda Wave 125.

I guess it's "built" to haul some really heavy loads. Is it me or is one rear shock bent?

Workhorse. Either a real kr a clone of a Honda

I've never been to Hawaii but lived in South East Asia.

The big question I have is: how fast are they riding? Are they puttering around, barely breaking 40kmh which is a speed you can reach as a cyclist?

That's very different to the squids you see on 1000cc bikes racing up and down at 70-160kmh weaving between cars.

Very important russian airfield attacked. The air defence can't do s#1t about it and all that's needed are a few missiles from the 90s!

That guy builds drones like no-one else's business.

I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.

The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proven the effectiveness of loitering munitions.

Edit: Fixed typo and grammar.

Yup. One issue from long storage is that the fuel in solid fuel rockets can start to separate. Ryan McBeth did an explanation on a possible cause on that AA missile failure.

As you mentioned, some explosives also become unpredictable. The Takata airbags sending shrapnel into drivers faces comes to mind.

I suspect the failure rate goes up. Have you seen the video of the Russian AA missile pretending to be a boomerang 🪃 and flying back to its launch point?

That's what can happen with old rockets.

Successful denazification and demilitrization

Of Russians.

Not quite the Ukrainians changing focus. Russia launched a big assault on Avdiivka.

A lot of that is equipment that russia sent into the meat grinder.

Thanks for looking into it. It's just standard TA with mods. I'm sure it can be made to run even more if you buy the steam version.

Linus mentioned in one interview that Steam does amazing work for Linux adoption on the desktop.

The problem is simply that standard Linux software is still a lot of work to get going and maintain. Work I just don't have time for.

I tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000's and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.

OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn't even need a full installation.

Adobe sadly don't just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.

DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.

I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.

It's such an amazing country.

I'm so conflicted over what happened there, and it's only getting more complicated the more I know about it.

Essentially people just wanting to be left alone, but the country getting torn by multiple groups.

French colonizers who's time was ending. The Soviets who took the opportunity to spread chaos to weaken the west and bring communism. The russians are doing similar shit now, particularly in Africa.

And the USA who wanted to stop that and get their influence over the country in an extremely brutal fashion.

Only to later to also have issues with the Khmer Rouge. Now China is encroaching onto them.

I buy a lot off eBay. Not that they're perfect, but at least they're not owned by Bezoz.
