“🚨🇺🇸🇵🇭America's "Stealth Fighter" in the Philippines Is Already Obsolete”

by New Rules on Telegram

“The US Air Force recently deployed F-22 Raptors to Basa Air Base in the Philippines for Exercise Cope Thunder 26-1 — framing it as a show of force across the First Island Chain. In reality, it exposed how poorly the F-22 is suited for a Pacific conflict against China”

Ancient relic

Anybody remember these things‽ LOL. Part of the MANY things I took off my old desk and eliminating instead of returning to my new desk. I just went through the whole thing and confirmed every single card is either already in my iCloud Contacts, or is LONG obsolete. One card still had a 7xxxx,xxx format CompuServe address!!

Obsolete hardware

Whenever I need to run an operating system on obsolete computing hardware, I find the smallest distribution Puppy Linux comes into mind.
The last number of years Slitaz has been doing an enormously great job keeping my old hardware to chug along.

Slitaz is so small it can run on RAM:

That's Amiga speak for ramdisk

I've been able to get the OS of the Diebold ATM visible on the screen. It runs win64 win7 as can be seen in the photographs

I've gotten a hold of the service manual a week or two ago, thanks to a kind fellow FediVerse user.

This error seems to occur when the money Tray is stuck or when it runs out of bills

Russia revives obsolete T-62 tanks amid equipment shortages — Ukraine approves new ‘Murakha’ ground robot for combat use — Ukrainian drones strike missile, drone arsenal in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast — Russia has amassed 111,000 troops near Pokrovsk … and more

I've stopped working with obsolete xDSL network devices. I have an ISP Fiber who installed Fiber to the CURB and Fiber to the Home simultaneously just to make money. They installed the obsolete fiber to the curb systems to milk people into making them think that xDSL is a way for the future.

Meanwhile on quite stable 4G Networks they give the speeds that you see in the screenshot. I can reach more than 40 MBit per second! I would rather be ad hoc on the internet, then have a slow obsolete 10 MBit connection over two copper wires.

I am finally enjoying the internet again when it comes down to speed

My ISP gave me an interesting scare a couple of minutes ago. As you know if you do not want to pay them for a permanent IPv4 address, which I consider obsolete networking, they remotely reboot your gateway device and assign it a random IP out of one of their IPv4 pools.

This time it didn't take the usual long 30 to 90 Seconds to reboot the device and transfer credentials to obtain the new IP.
The Gateway got in an infinite loop somewhere and I had to Power it off, then had to wait 90 seconds to power cycle it before it took 180 seconds for the device to finally get the new IP.

Someone screwed up the login sequences for the xDSL devices of which the hashtag is in the toot and now we as the paying customer again have to pay for it in wasted time.

Luckily this power cycling off xDSL devices occurs only once in 6 weeks and usually I do not use the internet at that point in time.

In case you are wondering my Gateway uses obsolete technology, is forcibly assigned by the ISP and it's also cursed with a extremely low transfer speed.

I just included a speedtest after first draft of this toot

As you can see the speeds here are so low the connection is virtually unusable for anything where you have to move a big bites of data. They still manage to extort more than USD 30 a month for this connection

🎉 Oh joy, another chance to rummage through piles of #obsolete electronics and reminisce about when they were only slightly less obsolete. 🏆🥳 Surely no one can resist the temptation of trading their prized, dust-covered #tech for someone else's equally ancient #treasures. 💾⚙️

Got three old #PC towers and #obsolete #parts to go (one is mine from last year, one I’d liked the little door so kept, but finally admitted I don’t need, and the other I was surprised to find in the garage, that is a trove of “wow, and also why”. Also #folders that hung in a particular type of #filing #filing. The cabinet went to some fellas who were going to put shelves in for #tools, so they didn’t need the folders.

Someone asked me what IT-related #eldritch #horror I would dredge up to scare the young 'uns at work, and I couldn't decide between "branch-delay slot" and "bang-path address".

"You never change things by fighting existing #reality. To change something, build a new #model that makes the existing model #obsolete." – #BuckminsterFuller

For me, this is truly helpful, giving me a way to think about our current #global #realities and consider ways to ameliorate public complacence and our ever-quickening descent into an #apocalyptic #hellscape.

I'm sure others have stated much the same, or better, but this came up in a #YouTube #video I'm watching and I needed this, now.

#Digitization is associated with '#dematerialization' e.g. replacing paper books.

But how many #books must be read to offset #environmental & social effects of producing & discarding #eReader.

1 study claims 30-60 books [1].

In 2021 57% Americans read <5 books a year; 15% between 6-10 [2].

Will your #CyberMonday device still be in use in 5-10 years?

Will vendors support it with #software #updates?

Or will it be #obsolete before you read enough books for #ecological benefits vs. paper?
