Have you used Mississippi Windows XP or Vista, @foone?

@foone they're the same picture?

@foone you should sign up for my new SaaS: sorting as a service. Not every business has the space and engineering skills to operate their own IBM 83, so send your card deck to our servers, where they will be radix sorted by our operators and sent back to you in less than one week.

@foone someone alert CIAA (the Cartographers Industry Association of America)

@foone did you know that QR codes have a 5.5 bit alphanumeric option? A-Z (uppercase), 0-9, and a few punctuation marks.

@foone it might depend on if the keyboard supports "USB Boot Protocol", a simplified HID interface designed for this sort of case.

@ozzelot @foone do you have a USB HID compliant data glove?

@foone have you considered an IBM 172317X? Might not meet your "use in bed" requirement but it does have a real keyboard and no batteries.

@foone the only thing better than __FILE__ is __func__

Happy 37th anniversary of the Max Headroom Incident, to those who celebrate.

No, those are straight lines.

We considered ourselves to be a powerful restaurant.

many people don't realize that the Titanic sank because someone forgot to close both seacocks after flushing the head.

Found a #cursed Lightning to "wired" headphone jack adapter that requires Bluetooth (to avoid paying Apple's MFI tax)

We’ve put Rotterdam to our rudder and will be out of communication range for a little while.

I don't think that the SAML22 has quite that much RAM and FLASH.

@mjg59 although you do have to wonder if any vendors are using Mulliner's Canary Tokens to detect reverse engineering https://www.mulliner.org/blog/blosxom.cgi/security/re_canary.html

extremely #cursed numeric keypad layout

@quixoticgeek is it even denser? bikes can be hung in a full circle around the stand, so it needs at least a 6m diameter of free space. this even more convoluted version had a bicycle merry-go-round so that only one access route is needed (and it was for rental bikes, so they all had to come back to it)

@ombremad @quixoticgeek why stop at two tiers?
