Power you on, if you’d rather unlock waking up without the phone…
(The first part is using completely wrong grammar, the middle part is fine, in the last part it’s not the phone that’s supposed to wake up, else it would be “aufzuwecken”.
Automatic translators just have to love German, both DeepL and Google get the last part wrong … although DeepL is able to get the last part for itself right without the context … interesting.)
Just thought I’d share with you this very rare glimpse of 19th Century computing.
Painted in 1879 by Edgar Degas, Edmond Duranty Working at his Computer is a remarkable and very forward-looking work. Of course the only part of the computer that’s shown, is the mouse pad …
You can see the original work in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow, Scotland.
It’s no wonder that only the mousepad is shown: Edgar Degas and Edmond Duranty were having a video conference and Edgar Degas simply took a screenshot.
After several problems with my FP3, probably caused by having opened it, and fixed thanks to being able to take it apart to clean it, I remembered an episode of the Simpsons in which Homer toasts to alcohol: the origin and, at the same time, the solution to all his problems!
Thanks, the socks article has a link to this here …
If a simple (and small) microfibre cloth for 19 USD isn’t fun, then I don’t know.
Even more fun: It seems to sell extremely well.
And even more fun: iFixit did a teardown of it …
And I brought some old cloths of my grandmother to the clothing collection for recycling just this weekend. Had I known that I could’ve shred them up and sold them for 10 bucks a piece for display cleaning… xD
