I don't know if it's no longer fun because we are old, or computer tech is boring. I still have a C64 and Apple II set up, so I'm thinking it's the latter.
I was 5 or 6 and in RS with my dad. Wondered over to one sitting out and pushed the orange button. Scared the shit out of me with a bunch of buzzing and clanking. Must have been 8" drives. Thought I had broken something.
Few years later we had some in the school computer lab (really a closet). Learned to program on those. Only 1 had 5" floppies, and the rest were networked via the cassette ports via a cool rotary switch box. You could upload your basic code to the server and save to floppy. The sever did have a punch card reader, which some older kid got working when the school paid him $100.
A transmission line not terminated with Z0 certainly does have a (periodic) frequency response. Try again when you have learned something about transmission lines.
The parent probably meant using the shield as a random wire antenna. You would not want to do that indoors due to noise.
75 Ohm coax is OK for receive only applications. The quad shield stuff has better shielding performance than typical 50 Ohm coax.
CTRL-ALT-DEL to login to windows! Why a hard to use key combo? That was the fucking soft reboot in DOS.
Also, blinking cursor in windows login password field, that you must move the mouse into to activate it. What the fuck is the blinking cursor for if that text field is not focus.
It is a race to the bottom. Companies don't want long term retention these days; they want short term point tools (employees) Incentives to stay such as pensions and retirement vesting are relics. It's a shame since they don't seems to value institutioanl knowledge anymore.
I can do your RF layout, but there really isn't any RF (distributed circuit) layout on phones, other than power and signal integrity. All the RF is in the antenna integration. The rest is RFIC.
Sure, but a trash truck used to require 1 driver and 2 dumpers hanging on back; big burley guys. Now it's one driver and the trash truck has a robotic arm. The driver on my route is a mid 50d woman.
Never mind all the Asian boat people from the 70's who came with only rags. I knew one who beat his kids for anything grade less than an A. Both kids are now successful engineers.
You can have my Leaf when you pry it (the steering wheel) from my cold, dead hands.
Actually I only charge it every other night since my round trip commute is 30 miles/day.
At my place they just call the hearse. Had a few people drop over dead from heart attacks. Same scenario; long walk from the parking lot in the morning. One guy had been dead 15 minutes before found in a hallway.

Maybe meant Machine Language
Actually it's machine code, or machine language.

2400 baud? Hell, it was 1990 until I had one of those. My first one was 300. External modems were cool; flashing lights and all.
Telengard here.

I bought a used 2015 Leaf with 19k miles for $8,500. Great little car.
Yes, you are remembering it.

Office freindly sintering furnace? I don't think our ES&H would approve it.
If you are paying for an MS or PhD, you are doing it wrong. For engineering, they typically pay you.

Does level 3 mean I can have it take me home while drunk, or will I still get a DWI?

You should try running the engine while gassing up, see if you get yelled at by the station attendant.
Company housing, company cafeteria; now they just need suicide nets.
The Dulles corridor is turning into a 3rd world dump. Went back recently and witnessed burkas in Loudon county. WTF.
Possibly between the current age, and the age of the robber barons, but that's debatable.

Uber, Waymo, Alphabet, Otto? How about a fucking real name for a company?

Will probably shoot back up as more electric vehicles are purchased. Though it will be more night time charging.
