  12. Oh joy, another attempt to make your shiny new #Mac run old #games that were groundbreaking when #dial-up was cutting-edge. 🖥️🎮 Apparently, some people enjoy the thrill of playing pixelated chaos on hardware capable of rendering near-photorealistic graphics. Because who wouldn't want to travel back to 1997 and virtually run over pedestrians for fun? 🚗💥

    Rotary phones were in use long after that in Canada, and probably other places, but touch-tone was also available. In the late 80s/early 90s I still had a line that would only do pulse dialing, because touch-tone dialing was an add-on charge with the phone company where I lived.

    It was a significant amount; just adding touch-tone support increased the monthly bill by almost 10%. Yes, this was a BS charge, because it was just a flag they set on your account. It didn't cost them anything to provide tone dialing. They still do the same thing with caller-ID, so I don't have it. "We don't care. We're the phone company; we don't have to."

    At the time, many (perhaps most) phones you could buy had push-button dialing, but there was a switch on the phone to choose pulse or tone dialing. If you set it to pulse, you'd push the 7 button, and then you'd hear 7 clicks, etc.

    So kind of "hybrid dialing".

  21. Today three long-sought #vintage 60's #dial #bakelite #phones added to my collection. Two Ericsson's: a white (desk) and a black (wall). The third is a black (desk) from Heemaf (Dutch brand). The two desk phones have an extra (mother-in-law) loudspeaker.

  22. The modern #AtlasV #rocket, designed by #LockheedMarting and operated by the United Launch Alliance or #ULA, has been called the #DialARocket for its ability to add capacity by adding solid rocket boosters like increasing steps on a #dial.
    Unfortunately, Fox (the #photographer) hasn’t covered any #launches of the #Atlas V 411 variant with only 1 #SRB.
    Instead, please view this #photograph of the Atlas V 401 being transported to its #launchpad on its Mobile Launch Platform #MLP.
    This is the Atlas that launched #NASA’s Radiation Belt Storm Probes #RBSP, renamed to the #VanAllen Probes once in orbit, they study the Earth’s #magnetosphere.
