People don't say "I think I will start drinking coffee so I can become addicted."
One of the worst aspects of the prohibition culture we live within is the refusal of prohibitionists to acknowledge that people enjoy imbibing in the things the prohibitionists want to ban. Smoking for example, is a practice people enjoy, one that brings them pleasure in their daily life.
You would do better with a UL-style (privately run organization) regulatory body than a Federal Government Agency. Then you can choose to look for the label on the product you choose to buy. This gives you the oversight you want with the freedom you prize.
Not to detract, but it sounds like you made a good investment in that car 30 years ago. And it sounds like you invest your money well in proper maintenance.
The Clintons set up that email server to circumvent government transparency.
If she had used the regular Government State Department server, her correspondence would have been subject to the Freedom of Information Act, and eventually it would have ended up archved at the National Archives.
The fundamental reason for the private Clinton Email Server was to keep her correspondence permanently off the record.
But going into a restroom stall to play Solitaire on a phone (bad wireless coverage for anything else) is something one can enjoy for hours and hours, at least while being paid by the hour.
If you look at the comments and hype in the gaming sections of the App stores, you'll discover that 'addicting' has been adopted as a praiseworthy thing.
"The Most Addicting Game in the App Store" is often part of the hype-description for a game.
And in the User comments, people say things like 'This game is sooo addicting.'
The word has changed, and something being 'addicting' isn't seen as so bad.
If Gaming 'Professionals' aren't capable and responsible enough to properly firewall away problems like this from the computers they are using as their 'studios' for their broadcasting operations, they aren't really very professional.
Aside from the whole problem of 'Pro Gaming' in general: what the heck? Why are we allowing Video Gaming to become a spectator sport? Personally I don't care about somebody's spot on a leaderboard. I go into games like World of Warcraft to immerse myself in a virtual world. Once you accept that there are 'winners' in such endeavors, you automatically become a loser.
You mean, of course, Bill Clintons acts of blatant sexual harassment at the workplace, in a fashion and way that any feminist, anywhere, before Clinton's impeachment trial, would have identified as such?
The power dynamics behind Clinton's serial instances of 'blow jobs' and other sexual favors granted to him make them flashing red examples of sexual harassment.
But as long as the dude engaging in said practices is Powerful Enough (note the incredible irony in this) the old-line Feminists (who sold out to the political machine to keep their spot of power) say it was 'Okay'.
If nothing else has turned off the current generations of young people to old-line 'Feminism' it's the crud that forms around anything 'Clinton' if you observe it long enough.
Her actions are so far outside the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act that it's ludicrous that anybody tries to defend her. The Private Email Server was set up so that she could exclude herself, in her official capacity as Secretary of State, from the official record.
That so many supposed believers in 'good government' ignore glaring truths like this is hard to understand. Before she's even elected, she's acting like a Turbo version of Richard Nixon, and people shrug and say it's 'just the Republicans picking on her.'
It's scary as fucking hell how people brush this stuff away like it doesn't matter.
I can imagine Hillary's screeching, while at the same time droning, voice as she tries to convince the very last person on earth who still supports her to not quit.
Hillary is the kind of pest that, finally, you need to employ lime to get rid of.
Hillary added 'Senator' as a bullet point for her political resume. She didn't serve a full term as a senator, because other importan stepping stones presented themselves during her first term. She was never a real senator, nor has she ever been a real politician. It's ludicrous how far she has come, but since she's just the icon on a large and rather successful political machine, it's not surprising.
In a laptop from the Pentium 1 period, a heck of a lot other than just TTL could be in it. It could have a FPGA. Or many other types of electronics. It's pretty unlikely there would be any plain 74xx TTL.
Nerds are about more than 'computing, science, technology and math.' In fact, nerds are interested in most of everything.
One of the ways that Slashdot has gone downhill in the 15 years I've been reading it and participating in discussions on it, is the rise of an 'IT people' mentality. This is NOT an IT site, if you want sites with only discussions of the latest Javascript variant and the latest trends in carts to roll around with toner cartridges and paper on them (the whole point of IT) find another site, please. We're nerds here.
If you study the fossil record, you will discover that North America had native horse species. Until the 'American Indians' came across the straits from Asia, and wiped the horse species out by eating it. They didn't learn how to tame and ride horses until the Europeans brought them back over.
If we didn't have 'issues' like the National Reptile for those people in Washington to take up their time deliberating on, we'd have to send them sacks of rubber bands to chew or something, anything, else, to keep them from churning out more laws and other maladies.
It sounds almost like an iPad pro, doesn't it. Except a lot cheaper and a lot less locked down. Less stupid-proof, though, which probably gets some people nervous.
When I want to build something, it requires at a minimum a soldering iron and probably a drill press and band saw. Please don't cop an attitude because you can assemble a computer if the only tool needed was a Phillips screwdriver. My friend whose paying job involves building and tearing down cubicle walls can 'build a computer' at that level.

For the same reason your opinion matters.
Go read some leaderboards, loser.

Australia has a national troll species: the Cane Toad.
In the old days you could buy an OEM copy of Windows paired with a hard drive mounting bracket.
Yes, there's a tiny segment of users like that...

Also, when an Apple laptop goes to shit, you get to talk to a genius.
They are Designed in California by Apple.
Yada yada. Whooie.
And they have nicer retail displays, just like Bose sound equipment.
It only has the good, Google approved spyware on it. They've copied Apple's iOS in that regard.
The garden walls keeps those pesky raccoons from stealing your picnic lunch.

Yes and not just an ordinary USB hub. It will need to be a powered USB hub with it's own dedicated wall wart power pack.
