That isn’t what the person to whom you’re responding is saying.
Morse code is very much like a language in that there are audible intonations that differentiate between See, Aye and Tee. Being able to copy that in your head is the same as listening to English and not needing to reach for the dictionary every other word.
I think this is a pragmatic healthy way to enjoy someone’s work. It is pretty much how I go about it. And it helps that my heroes are all long dead (Michael Collins, for instance ).
Where I think that does not work is when there is a deep resonance in shared experiences, these two had many including some really dark problems of addiction and thoughts of self-harm. I think the author is calling out all of it.
Cart abandonment. Good grief, any company that reaches out on that premise immediately loses my business on general principle. I may indeed have forgotten, changed my mind or found it cheaper elsewhere.
Get over it. I walked out, chasing me into the parking lot is no way to get me to come back.
With notifications disabled APNS push notifications fail for the sending app backend. The device id is rendered invalid if push notifications are disabled at any point. Backends are supposed to handle this and quit sending messages.
Signal has this setting to tell the backend how much information to put into the push message. It can tell the backend to send a simple notification saying “new message” and not send information through APNS or enable it.
I am willing to bet Signal has a notification extension to handle edge cases where there is lag in settings to scrub the message metadata before it dings a screen alert.
EME has been made a bit more affordable and effective by weak signal modes and DSP.
It used to require very high power, expensive transmission lines, preamps and monstrous arrays of Yagis. Now with JT65x, and SDRs, you can use cheaper coax to get transmit power to the antenna eating that loss with more RF, and put SDRs for RX at the array. People running digital modes are getting away with needing less gain.
5650MHz is the only place to do it with this thing. Might want to break out a calculator before the credit card because path loss has to be more than 285dB. But if you can swing it, might want to buy two so you have someone to talk to. I have not heard anyone using 5650.
The backlash is from Meta trying of assign liabilities of their business practices on people who may not even be users.
Yes, this is just the beginning of a huge swath of innocent APIs to identify people on the internet. Meta isn’t going to stop, and neither will governments.
You are correct, but the problem was the PC only had 16 IRQs. That required using intelligent multi-port cards from Digi or Rocketport. They worked by aggregating all the ports to a single card IRQ, and managing all the hardware signals, echo.
I wrote the software for a breakout box that could handle 128 serial ports. It was an ISA backplane with an industrial 286 computer and multi-port serial cards. This was our solution for a MajorBBS system.
The BBS software would have to timeslice between all the cards handling each IRQ, then poll the card details to see which ports needed service.
GalactiComm eventually came out with their own around 1993 that could go out to 255 serial ports and did not require the 286 processor.
By the mid-90’s, Livingston PortMasters were the preferred way to aggregate serial connections, which quickly gave way to USR TotalControl.
