Once it may have been called ALDL instead. My '95 Commodore has one. Assembly Line Diagnostic Link. Same physical connector.

I think it was a freebie from the university, or the computer recycling place I did work experience with. Too long ago to recall.

I've sold about 30 sets of m4 / s4 models and they've been fairly good. Not entirely stable when given 30+ iot devices.

The x50 was terrible though. Many devices would try to connect to the furthest unit and refuse the closest one.

I remember mine. 30 years ago now.

I remember the sound. Also, it was on a three wheel table, and the whole thing would shake when defragging.

Still hard to beat the Top Gear original amphibious vehicle episode.

So was mine, but the controller thought it was 10mb so had to load a device driver to access the full size.

Was fine until a friend defragged it and the driver moved out of the first 10mb. Thereafter had to keep a 360kb 5¼" drive to boot from.

That was in an XT.

Hehe. As a small town Facebook group admin, it's useful to have it reliable, but not the end of the world.

I don't know for sure - my suspicion is that messenger relies on some other service which doesn't appear in the battery optimisation UI and thus can't be kept awake. (Opening the Facebook app causes Messenger to also wake up.)

My previous Realme phone had the same issue.

Similar happened to a pilot some years ago when the windscreen ejected itself. (wrong bolts if I remember the air crash investigation episode.) He survived though. Was held by co pilot.

Still mostly loving my cheap Motorola g84. Rarely use the headphone jack but it's there. The stereo speakers in it are pretty good.

Biggest gripe is it kills Facebook messenger in the background no matter what you do. WhatsApp unaffected though.

Translate within the app? (self.voyagerapp)
submitted 1 month ago by I_Miss_Daniel to c/voyagerapp
 

By default I tend to see a lot of German and Greek posts in amongst the English ones.

It might be nice to have an option where the app can translate these in the default view, either on demand or automatically. (perhaps cached on the server to save CPU time?)

Even if it's just the post title, that could be interesting.

Found in a shopping mall in Armidale, Australia.

Decided to restore this old thing from out in the shed. It was in the weather for a couple of years, and I think it's 20+ years old.

Replaced the pump with a USB powered 5 watt silent one.

Replaced the halogen lamp with an LED one.

Cleaned as much as I could.

Seems to be working well. How long the $12 ebay pump lasts remains to be seen.

Johnny Castaway is in a strange world!

For some reason the screen is not resetting between scenes, giving him an unusually busy world. It's running 24/7 on XP but it's a 16 bit app.

Day and night he runs around on top of the fish tank.

Maybe one of the coconuts was bad...

 

She actually has four legs but tends to sit on one.

 

The CBA has contacted it's customers to advise or new limits affecting "those accounts we believe to be associated with cryptocurrency exchanges" to $10,000AU per month.

This doesn't affect me since I have way way less disposable income to be playing with crypto, but it could impact some big traders.
