  1. #Trump #DOJ #antitrust head Gail Slater stepping down less than a year after being appointed.

    In July, Reuters reported 2 of Slater's deputies were fired for “insubordination” after a settlement greenlighting #HewlettPackard Enterprise's $14 billion acquisition of #JuniperNetworks. The move exposed a power struggle within Trump's admin between proponents of robust antitrust enforcement & dealmakers seeking to #leverage #influence.

  2. Free to a good home: A LocalTalk card for an HP LaserJet . . . II? Maybe III. Model 33416A. It's been far too long. I can't blame forgetting that on COVID brain fog. 😅

  3. YAY! Successfully upgraded my > 10 years old HP-12C's firmware to the new 2025 version which now allows to dump and restore the calculator’s memory via cable to/from my Mac. 😊 #calculator #hpcalculator #hp12c #firmware #hewlettpackard – To see your HP-12C’s firmware version: When the calc is off hold g & ENTER and press ON. Then press 2 to see the checksum, press any key to see the date, again any key to see a copyright notice, again a key to return to the 1.L 2.C 3.H menu. Press ON to exit. 😉

  4. A random link I came across reminded me that one of my FOSS projects' README file references all of the following:

    Tru64
    HP-UX
    Debian
    RedHat
    SuSE
    Ubuntu
    FreeBSD
    NetBSD
    Darwin

    x86
    AMD64
    Alpha
    PA-RISC
    Itanium
    PowerPC

    I would like to issue a decades-late "thank you" to Hewlett Packard for operating their "Test Drive" program, that allowed me to do test builds on all of those platforms I had no other access to. [1] I was sad when they discontinued it, even if it was a pretty niche thing at the time.

    I must have been one of about 3 people outside of Hewlett Packard, Intel, and Microsoft who'd ever bothered to try to build software on Itanium. [2]

    How many of the above phrases would elicit blank looks from newly-minted engineers and #CompSci people these days?

    [1] Meaning actual useful Hewlett Packard. The practically unrelated modern HP corporation can, of course, stick their overpriced, DRMed ink and toner in their paper-jam access holes.

    [2] a.k.a. "Itanic"
