A fan project, accessory, or reproduction is NOT "unauthorized exploitation," it's the entire reason we still think about Commodore at all! Don't destroy the fanbase you're supported by, or you'll have a rough fall ahead of you.

From the nucommodore website:

Imposters may copy, but they can't
compute.
We've reached out in goodwill to some of these fan-led efforts, encouraging collaboration and offering to help legitimise their efforts. But while we may admire such passion, make no mistake - unauthorised exploitation of a brand that Jack Tramiel worked so hard to build, has no connection to the original IP, to our many key members of the original Commodore team, and to our Founder's original spirit.

Istg if @commodoreofficial.bsky.social goes the route of Nintendo, which it currently seems to be, I'm gonna be so disappointed. I was excited to hear they're doing stuff with the brand but reading up on their site it seems like they will be taking down fan projects...

So the modems most people think about,
"fax" modems (the little beige boxes that run at 56kbps) are considered smart modems. They have computers in them and can fully control the phone network they're attached to. The first smart modem was from 1981 or so I wanna say, literally called the Hayes smartmodem. You could type commands to change bit rates and other settings. Before that, modems were considered "dumb." Most were 300 or 110 bps. You had to use a physical phone to dial the number you wanted to call, the modem had switches to tell if it's originating or answering (as long as two modems are set differently they'll talk.) and the most advanced feature of those types were that they held the line open, meaning you could put the phone back in the cradle without it hanging up the line. Even earlier were acoustic coupling modems, where you placed the phone handset on a pair of cups with a speaker and microphone, which the modem used to communicate with the phone line.

So sorry to the friend I wrote a whole wall text on the history of modems for

I've been playing the English patch of the original Tomodachi collection on my DS, it's super fun (although the speech synthesizer is in Japanese still) but I don't wanna buy a switch 2 for a single game

Face of a guy who really wants to find all the ladies in the world at once and 2 antennae just aren't enough (he technically just has two antennae like normal god-fearing sawflies, they're just split at the base so it looks like he has four)

Pac-Man uses an algorithm, not an "ai."
It is predictable and does not think. It was not trained on data.
It did not replace artists.
It uses simple math to find a target relative towards the player and moves there.
People had to use their brains to come up with this, guys. It's not rocket science.

You might find this symbol on the tag of a bath towel. It's an icon of a dryer with the advisory β€œTumble Dry at Medium to High Temperature.” It’s good advice, Ann thinks. Every time she washes the stains out of the towel, she dries it on high. Memories seem to fade faster that way.

Even stinging wasps can be beautiful though! Most aren't aggressive, and only sting when provoked. Remember, they just want to protect their friends!

Watch this little wasp clean itself! For anyone with a fear of being stung, the majority of wasp species go unnoticed by most people and are incapable of even stinging humans. Unfortunately, the 3 or 4 major stinging species get the spotlight, and people lump everything together...

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

To anyone who does anything with audio. Would a mono/stereo converter be useful? Like where you can switch between mixing the two stereo channels to mono, using only the left channel or the right, and taking a mono signal and putting it on both the left/right channels.

I have more followers on this account so it's worth posting here. Please call your local representative and tell them to not ban porn. This is just my sfw account and there is a whole other side of me I'd like to continue to have fun with. Call not just for me but for everyone's sake.
