  • I’ve spent many hours walking down memory lane with the Commodore 64 Ultimate, and it’s wondrous if sometimes intimidating

    Jump

  • I was forced to bin my original C64, tape deck, disk drive, joysticks, a couple of printers (one was a daisy wheel lol), many many games and apps and my own projects etc. It still saddens me thinking about it.

    These stories rub a bit of salt in the wound but it's pretty cool that there's still interest in them. They were a fantastic thing - easy to use for the basics, powerful enough that once you moved past those basics (and BASIC itself) it still had plenty to offer. And crucially, in a modern context, it's not so advanced that it leaves nothing for you to do - you still need to figure things out for yourself, and there's a lot of satisfaction in figuring out a hack to make it do something. So good.

    I'm tempted to get one but that's a rabbit hole I'm not sure I have the time for these days!

  • BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace

  • Came across this which I've not validated but does seem to make sense at a glance: Comparison of WLTP and CLTC

    Based on that the WLTP range would be 828-900km (515-560 miles).

    Real world, 6-700km at a guess?

  • How do I calm down a patient in a hospital setting?

    Jump

  • I'm not an expert but have worked in these kinds of environments on and off over the years.

    It's hard to offer broad advice as every encounter is different. Your workplace might offer training though to give you some tools, which will likely also teach you the things not to say (eg promising a result, stoking the fire, preaching, etc).

    Calming someone down isn't always the goal either, sometimes people just need to process difficult information or grieve for the loss of a loved one. All you can do in this situation is to offer a safe place to do that, and maybe a sympathetic ear if they need to talk, and perhaps to validate their feelings. Otherwise just being present is often enough, as is knowing when to give someone space.

    you're right about the bad guy end up being a VP, the whole story unravels in front of Robocop and the company's board, and the dude is standing there smugly because one of Robocop's core directives is he can't kill an executive of the company. The CEO in standard 80s action movie style says "hey

    <name>

    ... you're fired", Robocop pauses long enough for the bad guy to realise what just happened, then shoots the guy

    Also the above is for the first movie, I think the second movie is where the sentry thing does the deed.

    I should dust these off and watch them again lol

  • Anti-Woke means asleep. A pictorial example inside.

    Jump

  • Sorta been answered but worth noting there's more than one definition, and if the person you're speaking to/arguing with aren't using the same one then you'll never agree because you're debating different points.

    One is the "socially aware" definition, and seems to be the one claimed by most on here. It means your eyes/mind are open etc.

    Another refers to performative virtue signalling, where someone is desperately looking for something to make themselves appear socially aware / "awake", regardless of their actual position on the matter, if they even have one. That is where the pejorative usage comes from.

    If someone uses "woke" as an insult is likely they're placing the target in the latter category.

  • Sadly many won't care, but for those that do it removes one of the key differentiators. Plus it's kind of hard to trust a company that has had such a wild change in values - Apple have at least been consistent.

    Edit: I didn't think it needed to be spelled out, but no I'm not suggesting Apple are trustworthy.

  • Whats a good way to help my mother be profitble at craftfairs?

    Jump

  • Is her goal to make money? Or is it just an outing and a chance to socialise with people who share an interest? If the latter, then she may be getting everything she wants out of the experience so doesn't see the need to change anything, in fact being more popular might be bad in that context. (Edit: just realised this is pretty much what one of the other replies asked, apologies.)

    Otherwise, and I'm no expert at this stuff by any stretch, but purely from a casual attendee's perspective, location is really important. Don't be in a corner where there's hardly any foot traffic, and if you can, try to set up next to whatever booths are busiest at your events - for the ones near me that'd be things like coffee, ice cream, bakery etc depending on time of year. They are always packed, and food/drink booths usually have people with a few minutes to kill while they're waiting for their order.

    If you have dozens of people milling about in front of your stall waiting for a coffee, the odds of someone spotting one of your products increases massively, and some of those may turn into sales.

  • How to move from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap

    Jump

  • I moved to OSMand a while ago, but have a couple of things that stop me switching over completely. Like others, traffic would be the main one.

    On a few occasions been caught in unusual traffic, eg when there's a crash, or when there's an event on. So when I need a more accurate ETA I still need to fire up Waze or Google Maps.

    I do also miss the near-realtime reports in Waze - object on road, mobile speed camera etc, as well as the constantly-updating traffic of course.

    Oh another thing that would be good, is accounting for rules that vary by time of day, day of week, number of passengers, or type of vehicle. Eg school zones, or transit lanes, bus lanes that allow motorcycles at certain times, etc. It might already do this and I've just missed it.

    There are some UI annoyances in OSMand too, but those are mostly subjective, and will hopefully improve in time.
