The title immediately made me think of the September Song.

FWIW, when I used windows (up to 7), I always used Notetab.

I wish it was only cars, but unfortunately this decay in-the-name-of-progress is in everything nowadays.

Very good documentary about Donald Bickler made by his son.

Also about olivetti: Olivetti & the Italian Computer: What Could Have Been. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfMxcrN90PE

In the demo there is a cut in the video where the needle abrubtly stops. The cut is visible because the lighting is slightly different.

Re-watched on computer monitor this time. The cut is between 00:00:19 and 00:00:20 of the demo.

That's a really good catch. Didn't notice it my first time watching it. I suppose that either way it beats the old method but that's very weird to do that to the test.

i asked about this in the comment section and my comment got deleted

That cut is so obvious they're not even trying.

maybe it isn't nefarious

Well, based on the speed of the needle and what I know of damped motion because of the generation of eddy currents that did not at all look like the same thing.

It's been the source of a lot of headaches for me (specifically: windmill cogging), there is no way that that needle stopped in the way it did in the video.

Agree, I've also seen other comments that note this getting removed. I'm now shadowbanned from commenting on the video. It would be great if more people noted this issue so that some of them might not be moderated and blocked.

Might possibly be a new I frame, the embedded video doesn't seem to be all that high quality.

nah, go frame by frame, you can see light reflecting differently from the needle

And from the copper around it...

The damage from a frozen water line in your house can be a lot more than $4000.

We had them when I was still a kid in the sixties and I did not like it at all. Jumping in a warm bed is nice but leaving it on during the night makes you wake up all sweaty in the middle of the night. Even on the lowest setting.

Nice, however the mentioned github link ( https://github.com/loganwilliams/passive-acoustic-listening ) does not exist (anymore?).

The only repo that appears searching "passive acoustic listening" is

https://github.com/Vivek-Tate/IDS-Detection-and-Exploiting-V...

Nice, but the left-right movement goes opposite to my intuition.

For nostalgia sake. It's from the computing period when there was a great influx of good idea's but still a huge shortage in memory and storage.

Maybe this explains why we have to call "creat" to "create" a file.

Idk about creat specifically but the utility names are all terse because you were interacting with the system on a 110-baud teletype.
