I feel like “downloading a file removes it from the computer you’re downloading it from” was a weirdly common misconception in the 90s. I’m sure I remember some Star Trek episode that felt the need to specify that a bunch of data had been “copied and downloaded” from the hero ship’s computer so that the audience wouldn’t think that the data was now gone. Maybe the desktop metaphor where files are presented as physical objects that can be moved around contributed to this belief. Maybe also all the anti piracy PSAs that likened downloading music to stealing a car

"Mmm let's see, the ship is about to go into a potential crisis situation, yes this sounds like the perfect time to break up a ton of working relationships and give my whole crew jetlag"

Ebooks.com often sells drm-free ebooks, depending on if the publisher allows it

I’m pretty sure that’s the design for the enterprise from Star Trek Phase II, a series that never got made; this design was then developed further into the now familiar refit from TMP

Edit: It seems I may be wrong after all.

Original post: ~~Between this and Johnson saying Biden should resign as president, it makes me think they are trying to limit Harris to one term. If Biden were to die or resign then Harris would become president for a few months but that would still count as her first term, so she wouldn't be able to run for reelection in 2028 if she won this time. That's my theory anyway 🤷‍♀️~~

Brain getting bigger, I think

 

I got it in 1999 or so. TI-basic was my first-ever intro to programming.
