Also very impressive (and delivered with great humor) !!Con 2015 - Kevin Lynagh: I made a cell phone! (DON'T TELL THE FCC KTHX!) https://youtu.be/FlRa-iH7PGw?si=8OlGBQNcQRo_biuU
I still have the circuit diagram (paper copy) that shipped with my Acorn Atom in, ahem, 1981. Didn’t ask for it! (Edit: with the help of the circuit diagram we did make a simple mod to one of the output ports of the…

Ouch! Horribly wrong on https://www.agedfish.com/blog/meiwaku-and-the-brompton-bell.... Maybe the Star Wars reference threw it.
Echoing @ivvve. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.
Not quite useless. POST tells the server to check for a body which I think is a reasonable indication of intent. But otherwise, yes, it’s all arbitrary and just vague hints to the server program as to what you might…
Can verify this having been woken up more than once by a -very- attention getting earthquake alarm on my or my employer’s iPhone. A contender for Most Shock and Awe in a single notification.

This is utterly wonderful - brought to mind the film Brazil's fly in a typewriter. I'm now going to have to go down the rabbit hole of each of these ghost kanji. Good times.
Agree. The $25/month stops me using it for side projects that generate small but non-zero revenue. Love the concept but not sure when I'll get to play time on something genuinely personal.
Tokyo (not sure about the rest of Japan) has similar with a number of 'play parks' within larger parks. Rope swings, makeshift slides, saws, hammers and nails abound. The kids come back smelling of smoke from the…

Both the original Japanese (meaning 5 times) and possibly pun Japanese (meaning misunderstanding) are read as 'gokai'.
In fairness, on site the itself it is pretty clearly highlighted as sponsored content. Must admit that I was disappointed on clicking to find that it wasn't actual reporting.

Got me!

Another of the SOAS intake at that time was Bernard T Smith, an RAF officer, who was posted to Japan in 1946 to take part in the rebuilding process. Bernard was subsequently involved in the UK computing industry. His…
