for fun, i used ebay's Personal Data request tool to extract out my ebay purchases from 2001 to 2010, so i could get a picture of how prices have changed over the decades when it comes to old computer/video junk

$13.49 USD
Currently: $100 USD

May 23, 2003: LC PDS style Ethernet adapter $5 USD

As you can see, it's approximately a 1000% price increase on retrocomputing products since 2002. Without having to show you the entire history, the price stayed relatively flat until about 2010, when it started to creep slowly, and then went up several orders of magnitude by 2015-2020.

It's a silly, bad time to buy old computer games on ebay. prices are still hyperinflated (starting to drop, very slowly).

i've bought almost everything i have locally, for $5-10 each, just by keeping an eye on local listings - and ignoring the people trying to sell at ebay prices.

if you want to see your entire ebay history, you can request it here. it takes about a week to get your history.

This AI feature is highly requested!

The Pentium processor had a minor error in the division algorithm. This error cost Intel $475 million to replace the faulty chips. I've tracked down the FDIV error to this circuit on the die:

sure sex is great but have you ever turned off an IBM PC AT by throwing the big red switch and been absolutely, supremely confident that all computing has now ceased and will not resume just because the operating system gets peckish for some midnight updates

Mischievous as a tiger!

🎵I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter for the 'poss to pour the coffee
And she fills it only halfway, and before I even argue
She is looking out the window at somebody coming in...

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do...🎵

Criminals Exploiting FBI Emergency Data Requests

I’ve been writing about the problem with lawful-access backdoors in encryption for decades now: that as soon as you create a mechanism for law enforcement to bypass encryption, the bad guys will use it too.
Turns out the same thing <a... https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2024/11/criminals-exploiting-fbi-emergency-data-requests.html

A few months ago, the conservative party came to power in Valencia, Spain with the support of the far right. One of their first acts was to eliminate climate emergency services. At the end of October, flooding exacerbated by climate change killed over 200 people in the region.

Massive numbers of people mobilized horizontally to respond to the flooding through mutual aid. Despite their ties to the conservative government, far-right groups have tried to hijack popular anger over the state's failures. This is the classic strategy of fascists and demagogues: create a crisis, then try to capitalize on it.

We salute the anarchists and anti-fascists in Valencia organizing against the flood, the government, and the far right.

The sign in the attached images reads "We clear out politicians like we clear our mud"; the logo reads "We clear out fascism like we clear out mud." The photograph shows Valencia City Hall smeared with mud and graffiti calling the right-wing mayor a murderer.

Capitalism is the disaster! 🏴

Another techwear piece, for @unlobito ! (:

Dear Censorious Twits,

If you try to use asexual people as a reason to try to purge furry spaces of sexuality, I hate you.

I’m asexual, not a weird porn Superman parody whom Lex Luthor can destroy with a copy of Playboy.

All I want is for people to tag things. Which they already do.
