If you’re curious enough to get one, I’ve seen them on ebay as well. Might even be available on Amazon. I think they’ve been around for a couple years, I just got mine in April but still haven’t had time to fire it up and play with it.

Hmm I’m seeing a sale price right now, might be based off my order history though. I found another that has a standard price of $10.39, but all the ones I looked at are now also including a shipping cost around $4.50 so that jacks the price up even more.

All these taxes and tarrifs and what-not are really hurting people’s ability to get access to affordable items. I was looking at some solar panels right before the US added a tarrif to those items, so now I’ll wait to see what happens.

The board costs about $10, I have one on hand. Besides VGA and PS/2 ports, it also has an audio-out jack and a slot for SD cards. And if you want to compare specs, the ESP32 blows this away. Sure $1 sounds impressive, until you realize just how little you can do with it.

[Edit] Looks like the price has come down under $10 for this board now, here’s a link to get them from China.

So basically something like this only a whole lot LESS capable? Although if you specifically want to do RiscV coding then it does limit your options.

Hard to say for sure. They may have legitimately found something, but my experience with McAfee products has been abysmal. The last time I dealt with it, someone had the full paid version of their virus scanner which was up to date but wasn’t finding anything. I ran the free version of AVG and found over 200 items (mostly trojans and other malware). Their research may be valid, but I certainly wouldn’t trust any of their software to find even widely-known issues.

Now there’s an oxymoron. Let me know when they can write a virus scanner that works.

Yeah but does that really compare to a single man destroying a $44 Billion dollar company?

OK yeah, I wasn’t sure if it had a way to collect debs from other sources. I’ve been using it for years to locally cache the standard Debian repos so I don’t need to re-download packages every time I update my various servers and VMs, but I haven’t really tried using it for anything beyond that.

Sorry to ask, but isn’t this basically the same thing as apt-cacher-ng?

Seriously, why hasn’t there been an investigation since he’s meddling directly with government affairs and working for a foreign enemy?

Don’t forget that Musk is also the one who intentionally blocked paid service from Ukraine during a critical moment in the early days of Russia’s current genocide, because Musk sucks up to Putin. Dude needs to answer for his actions.

My primary domain is something that people have blacklisted because four letters happen to partially match a word that could be spammy (how ridiculous is that?), however the mail servers (the ones they keep blocking) are attached to my computer business name which I registered in 2006, so there’s really no reason why they should block it for that reason.

Unfortunately that’s not true. I’ve been running mail servers under my domain since around 2000, almost as long as Microsoft has been running Hotmail, and I was certainly following good standards like SPF and DKIM well before they considered such a thing… and yet Microsoft is the bane of my mail server’s existence. Despite no compromises resulting in spam blasts, MS still regularly shuts me out with no reason given and no hits showing on their monitors. If I can find their email address to ask what the problem is, I get a generic “your domain has been cleared” sort of reply but never any reason why they blocked me in the first place.

I remember when me and a friend both had C64s and he got a 20MB HDD for it. He said “bring your floppies over and we’ll swap software, I have tons of space now!” Big surprise, I had way more floppies than he had drive space. 😆 These days I don’t mess around, I have around 105TB of storage with room for expansion as drives get cheaper.

Put me down for one Amiga 1000 (which I still have with the 2MB expansion), I found a used one for sale and snagged it for $300 (before the A500 or any other models were released). I thought it was a great deal.

After the string of bad decisions he’s already made with this company, what makes you think he’s able to make good choices now? He has an echo-chamber where nobody can tell him to GTFO and that’s literally the only thing he’s ever getting out of it. It’s kinda like if someone paid an obscene amount of money for a junker car, then paid 10x that amount to put vanity plates on it.

There’s definitely been a lot of talk about the whole “pay us and we can make that bad review from someone who wasn’t your customer just go away.” Some say that never actually happened, and yet I was IT support for a small business who contacted Yelp to find out why non-customers were allowed to leave bad reviews and they were directly told that for a fee those reviews would be removed.

Sorry, I just realized I crossed up my evil businesses. Yelp did the whole protection-racket thing, it was LinkedIn that hacked people’s computers and keep sending out emails in their customer’s names (“I heard about this great company, you should check them out…”).

That’s a curious way to spin “a bunch of con artists who built a business by hacking people’s computers and sending out emails in those people’s names”.

That’s fine, we’re happy to keep the better choice to ourselves. 😆

I hope nobody lets them know that Firefox on Linux has never shown ads for any of their content.
