  • Lol, what? More so than a firearm, that app is a tool. Scanners can be used to increase vigilance and engagement in a community, and to keep citizens informed about possibly very high stakes goings-on. In most places in the US, at least, it is your right to monitor any cleartext comms as long as you are not a convicted felon.

  • In Air Conditioners, what are EERs and how can I use it to calculate my electricity costs.
  • I'd say it's pretty damn difficult for both. The VFD speed is dependent on the gradient, just like the duty cycle of a conventional AC is.

  • In Air Conditioners, what are EERs and how can I use it to calculate my electricity costs.
  • Conventional ACs don't "operate at 100% all the time" either. The compressor is cycled by the thermostat. You cannot calculate consumption of either without knowing the temperature gradient between the conditioned and outside space.

  • I can't stand the proselytizing powered by privilege on so many planes. Whether it's cost, availability, or time, people have many reasons for being mUrDeReRs. Nobody likes being condescended over things that are barely in their control as it is.

  • Actually, I have pirated on FreeBSD, for many years. I run all of those OSes in different roles at home every day. What are you trying to accuse me of? Not knowing what I am talking about? You're the indignant chode who is asking for help in this forum. I have never done that. I know how to use google and answer my own questions.

  • Need some advice on IPTV providers and VPNs
  • Triggered indeed, mister indignant wall of text. I use a Mac too. And Linux, FreeBSD, Android, and even Windows. But using an iOS device to pirate is like using a wrench as a hammer. Maybe you can do it, but it's not ideal.

    Anyway, if you don't like it here, there's the door. Deuces.

  • Waah, the answer isn't the one I wanted. Boo hoo hoo. I'm sure you've been pirating on iOS for 30 years and must know better.

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • Ever hear of Windows NT? Legacy DOS code was relegated to userspace long ago. And NT was designed by Dave Cutler, the guy who designed VMS and RSX-11. Most certainly not "shit piled on top of shit." Unix could have learned a thing or two from Dave but by then it was too late; the plane had very much taken off.

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!
  • The Amiga's OS was written in 68k asm and BCPL (C's grandfather) for the kernel, and C was used for the utilities and GUI. But this was considered quite ahead of its time for a single user micro.

  • "Who the hell" writes an OS in assembler in the 80s? Uh, some of the utilities are in C, but compilers were slow and generated slow code back then, and it was quite noticable on a slow machine. When every byte of memory counts, you often need to hand-optimize.

    Looks like the car ride over to the Rhode Island Computer Museum lab jostled some chips. I brought my scope and everything!

    JetBlue and Spirit Call Off Their $3.8 Billion Merger
    www.nytimes.com JetBlue and Spirit Call Off Their $3.8 Billion Merger

    JetBlue said it would pay Spirit $69 million to terminate the deal, which federal antitrust regulators blocked.

    JetBlue and Spirit Call Off Their $3.8 Billion Merger

    >JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines announced on Monday that they would not seek to overturn a court ruling that blocked their planned $3.8 billion merger. The decision is a big win for the Biden administration, which has sough to limit corporate consolidation.

    >Backing out of the agreement will cost JetBlue. Under the terms of the deal, it has to pay Spirit a breakup fee of $69 million and Spirit’s shareholders $400 million.

    >A federal judge in Boston blocked the proposed merger on Jan. 16, siding with the Justice Department in determining that the merger would reduce competition and give airlines more leeway to raise ticket prices. The judge, William G. Young of U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, noted that Spirit played a vital role in the market as a low-cost carrier and that travelers would have fewer options if JetBlue absorbed it.

    >The Justice Department hailed the termination of the deal on Monday, calling it “a victory for U.S. travelers who deserve lower prices and better choices.”

    Don't let anyone tell you hipster antitrust has no teeth.
