quite a decent collection. and actual working osses.

one that i noticed missing: Novell Netware, I spent several years in de 90s developing software for it. It was the main office network server software on those days.

3.x, 4.x ran on relatively regular 32-bit PC server hardware. 2.x ran on the 80286 in protected mode, the only OS I know which did that.

Copies can be found at archive.org.

ATMs came in the 90s, online banking in the 2000s, banks closed most of their branch offices in the 2010s i think. Gradually cash disappeared, so now you don't have ATMs either anymore. Than after covid they discovered that even the final bit of financial consultancy could be done via zoom, online.

Banking apps came later, long after banks had moved most interaction online.

I will start making a list for linux then.

rm - ok for all ages.

grep - 18+, you can obviously use this to search for porn.

find - 18+, see grep.

reboot - ok for all ages.

echo - ok for all ages.

cat - 18+, prints the porn you found directly to your terminal.

sudo - 18+, obviously.

kill - ok for all ages. This is the US, right.

ps - 18+, no peeping at other processes.

Well, this does the actual measurement. Measurement is how deviations from theory are discovered.

I am not a compass-nerd at all, and wonder: why don't we all use electronic compasses these days? Or, why use compasses at all? easier ways of navigating have been developed.

After researching the webviewer, and finding basically the same as pixelmelt, I found someone else already made the script,

I've been using https://github.com/teticio/kindle2pdf + tesseract to convert amazon books to text.

So that repo also disappeared. Neither is mentioned in https://github.com/github/dmca

This seems to be an unfortunate case where a feature has a misleading name.

You already had secure and encrypted backups on your phone, which you could copy and restore, if you remembered to copy them, and write down a very long password.

The new feature is apparently a way for signal to sell cloud services.

I do think cloud based backups are very useful for less technical people. But it does not really matter if your (properly encrypted) signal backup lives on a google drive/apple cloud, or on a cloud service managed by Signal.
