Yeah they got into the supply route and added c4 to all those pagers. Makes me wonder how many pagers or smartphones have added explosives still.

Naw, I block the string "Musk" in my feed, helps a lot. "Get off" did not trigger it, sadly.

5 1/4" floppy disk drives had little sensors that would detect a notch in the side of the rectangular disk sleeve (well outside of the round magnetic disk inside). Open notch meant "writeable". Manufacturers would sell "one sided" disks cheaper with missing notch for the backside of the disk to prevent using it. You could use a hole punch to pierce the soft plastic sleeve and make a "writable" hole at the correct spot. The disks inside were identical on both sides, there never was a "one-sided floppy disk", technically. This was during the "C64 and everybody got the games by exchanging floppy disks on the school yard" phase of home computing (ca 1985). Prices for floppy disks mattered a lot back then.

Using a hole punch to make 5 1/4" disks double sided! Saved a lot of money!

Hi lemmings, did anyone make the effort to gather a list of (major) Reddit communities and their equivalent on Lemmy? Some obviously just kept their name (hail anime_titties, which is NOT what you think it is :)), but with others I cannot seem to find similar communities in Lemmy. If anyone knows of such a list I would be much obliged, especially anything that would be frontpage material. Cheers! Edit Found https://sub.rehab/
