I completely agree with you -- I am also pretty cynical since I being educated on the electoral process as a child by my parents. I'm just hopeful that the technology will diffuse across governments outside the U.S. and create new international standards on what the definition of a "free and fair election."

Based on recent events in U.S. elections, I hope we begin migrating to a blockchain based voting solution that is public, auditable, and can report results instantly.

Most succinct explanation.

I always assumed "bum" wipes were for children (not adults). However, I guess a wipe is a step up from toilet paper for those that don't use a bidet.

I am struggling to understand who thinks to flush a Lysol or Clorox wipe...

This is the main reason why I have not bothered to build a new desktop. Only. once I can find an RTX anywhere outside of a used Ebay sale.

I as talking to a buddy and he told me about this project: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.geeky-gadgets.com%2F.... Looking forward to some updates with the new pi400 board.

I completely agree. I use a Mac and thinkpad (and remote servers) for my job, but itâ(TM)s just a fun experience to be able to use a device like this. Same reason I toy around with my other PIs and other low end hardware.

I think the overall layout of the PI 400 is fantastic, but I would have loved to see a integrated (removable battery). This is the only think stopping me from combining this with a battery powered display for a more flexible mobile computer experience. Has anyone seen any aftermarket mods for the p-400? Would especially love to see this as a mechanical keyboard/removable battery combo.

These governments won't be able to shut down internet once satellite internet becomes the norm. Or maybe mesh networks will have a revival.

I know I am not the only one wondering when the borg thumbnail for google glass will be created. For God sake, I've had to stare at an assimilated Bill Gates thumbnail for years. Just saying...

My mother and father were programmers, so they came up with many creative uses of the C64. In his free time, my father would program math-based games to teach us multiplication tables and would allow us to play chess. Mom was the only one to get copies of games for us to play. In general, I have many warm memories of sitting in front of the tv playing games on the ol' C64 with my siblings. I also remember solving boring math problems. In all, I played plenty of games and excelled in math enough to obtain a PhD. I have admit the C64 played a big part in that. I know nothing about TRS-80, but I'm sure my childhood would have played out the same way. As a professional, I understand the technical differences between the hardware, but still...

Sounds like you are doing it wrong. Contact a local contractor for an estimate or to simply chat about your options since you are a DIY kinda guy. Just realize the solution will not be cheap (time and/or money wise).

Our fast moving robotic overlords! Kinda scary to think about the military applications...

I totally agree. And there are other things to consider as well. My doctor regularly lectures me on the relationship between sleep, blood pressure, and obesity.
