8 months agoI’m not sure about ATMs, they often ran OS/2.
Windows CE often ran media centres or UI panels in things like John Deere tractors or the Fiat 500.
It was also the OS that ran the Dreamcasts UI.

Yup. Been there, done that :) Although, if you come in as a Westerner, I do recommend buying a genuine Honda. The hassles your save yourselves compared to the cheap Chinese clones are worth the “premium”.
Mind you, you can buy good used bikes for well below 500 USD. A new Wave 110i is just under 1100 USD in Thailand.
Workhorse. Looks to me like a clone of a Honda Wave 125.
I guess it’s “built” to haul some really heavy loads. Is it me or is one rear shock bent?
I’ve never been to Hawaii but lived in South East Asia.
The big question I have is: how fast are they riding? Are they puttering around, barely breaking 40kmh which is a speed you can reach as a cyclist?
That’s very different to the squids you see on 1000cc bikes racing up and down at 70-160kmh weaving between cars.
Thanks for looking into it. It’s just standard TA with mods. I’m sure it can be made to run even more if you buy the steam version.
Linus mentioned in one interview that Steam does amazing work for Linux adoption on the desktop.
The problem is simply that standard Linux software is still a lot of work to get going and maintain. Work I just don’t have time for.
I tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000’s and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.
OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn’t even need a full installation.
Adobe sadly don’t just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.
DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.
I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.
Have you used a gpu intensive application in a VM with good performance?
Adobe software quite heavily relies on cuda or OpenCL.
Yeah that sucks on a lovely Goldwing. Sadly tip overs happen to the best of us. At least in this case it was the wind. I drop my bike manoeuvring out of my garage. Usually because the kick stand goes up just enough to not hold tue bike when I try to put in on the stand (I have to move it from the right as the wall is on the left).
I hope a replacement pannier isn’t going to be too expensive🤞if you intend on fixing the scratches.
Maybe it’s an opportunity for customization with vinyl decals? Make it truly your own. Maybe a map where you mark all the places you’ve ridden so far?
I was wondering about that when sensationalist science Youtubers started spreading the footage like wildfire.
mRNA? Oh boy the anti vaxxers are going have have their heads explode.
Great news though as that’s a pretty common cancer.
That’s why you should take it easy. In Australia we have Possums, Wombats, Kangaroos and Wallabies that get on the road. Some are way more suicidal than deere.
As said, slow down and just enjoy the motion on the empty road.
Hello from a fellow Aussie. You sound like a very sensible person and I dig your approach. The RE350 is a modest choice and I see that as a good thing.
There are multiple ways to approach what you’re trying to do. Ask 10 people and you’ll get 12 different answers.
I’m an advocate for learning early and starting out with something manageable that you don’t worry about when you do drop it.
At the end, it all depends on what you really want to do on 2 wheels. Commuting? Riding on a rare occasion and looking good? Modding? Pretending to be Toby Price on dirt?..
You location and personal circumstances will add to that as each state has different licensing requirements and rego costs. The viability of options also changes depending on whether you live in the country or or in the big smoke.
The trend that I’m seeing with licensing is that it is getting harder every year to get licensed. The sooner you get licenced the easier it will be. Going Green on the human level, your ability to learn a new skill os usually better when you’re younger. Keep in mind that once you do get a licence it’s best to keep on it. Sadly a lot of fatalities happen to riders that return after long pauses.
What would I do? I’d get a good condition and manageable cheap bike. IMHO the CB125E amd CB125F are Australia’s best learner bikes. They’re just quick for most traffic and as tough as a coffin nail. They’re also cheap as chips, which is why they’re very popular with riding schools.
They’ve also cheap, so you don’t worry when you drop one of them. A lot of what I believe in is said well by RCR in his Ninja 250 video. While a low power bike like that requires more skill to keep up with big bikes on semi twisties (Putty road near Sydney), everything else is easier on something like that. Because they’re light, they’re more forgiving when manoeuvring in tight spaces (city traffic and dirt trails). The power is enough to keep up in most urban settings (why they’re a favourite amongst delivery riders), but they’re slow enough that you can learn how to use all the power. Because they’re light and don’t have mad power, they’re more forgiving in corners too. That allows you to experiment and but more importantly learn. You get more feedback from road surface on a smaller bike. All that can make you a great rider.
Do practice. The particularly emergency stops, slow riding (the floor is lava) and manouvres. Going on dirt trails is am excellent way to get you skills up. The CB125’s are also total mountain goats! Theres a guy that takes his on sime insane trails and posts all over Facebook with many adv riders thinking he’s got some mad talent / bravery. Even the bike makes that easy, that’s why the Taliban use similar bikes to haul (stuff) around on goat paths.
If something breaks, they’re very easy to fix, so you get to learn maintenance without it costing a fortune.
You’ll find of the most talented and experienced riders on small cc machines. Look at the Postie bike community and you’ll find tons of people that have some crazy mileages under their belt and ride in almost all conditions. To a good extent, that’s because they can, which is partly attributed to the ease of riding something as light as a postie.
In terms of gear, again, it all depends. If you just putter around on a 125 on some local roads, them a full MotoGP leather race suit is overkill. Get good gear that you’re comfortable with. At minimum a mesh jacket, a comfortable helmet, gloves and shoes that will give you padding in a fall and won’t slide off as soon as you hit the ground (no sneakers). I’m wearing high ankle steel caps that I can keep wearing when I step off as my bike is my everything mode of transport and I don’t want to carry separate shoes on it just to go on a walk or into the shops. That way it’s not a chore to get on and you don’t skimp on protection for a quit trip to the shops. A friend of mine broke his ankle despite owning great riding boots that were too uncomfortable for walking, so he skipped on them on a ride to the shops after which he decided to go a bit of a squiz after.
You can move onto the RE as the gentleman’s/ gentle-ladies bike and putter around in style to join rides like tue Distinguished gentleman’s ride,… You’ll also have built up more muscle memory that prevents you from making mistakes like: forgetting to put the stand down when you park it in your driveway.
Most importantly have fun, Australia is one of the best places to ride (at least most of the country is), with good weather amd moderately slow traffic. We also have a good amount of trails of that’s something that interests you.
We already had that in the 70s and 80s. Those were RoRo trains.
You put your car on a drive on ramp. Go into the comfy cabin, maybe even a sleeper cabin for over night journeys. Get out at the other end, drive your car down the carrier and explore the area that you’ve journeyed to with the vehicle that you own. Look up the 89s ABC film about the Ghan railway closing down.
I live in Australia and love seeing the distant from my home centre of tue country. Unfortunately long distance trains here have become a lifestyle luxury experience rather than transportation. Same goes for bicycles amd motorcycles.
Indonesia is just bizarre. They’ve got the most draconian and nonsensical laws. The only step up is a full on fascist country like China or russia.
Other than being cheap, I don’t understand why so many digi nomads want to live there.
Louis posted a video on a much bigger problem that Google has with ads. These campaigns seem to completely neglect.
In short: it’s fake views. That’s were advertisers pay for viewed ads, but the view happened to a bot. Ad block at least doesn’t discourage advertisers since they don’t pay for unviewed ads.
The future really is to promote Mastodon and Lemmy. I didn’t understand for a long time that you can interact with all instances from any server.
That’s what’s missing in the info that’s commonly available. I seriously thought until recently that each instance is like a phpBB board where you can use a common software (Tapatalk) to interface with different servers, but you meed a separate account for every single instance.
There’s just so much wrong with this article. The whole website seems to be geared towards people who celebrate tech without understanding any if it. I.e.: tech bros.
Which is why I’d expect to see this article quoted on satire groups like: “did silicon valley reinvent the bus again?”.
Maybe doubling down will help . . . Getting this platform to disappear 100%!
Reiterating why I find so many magazine to be trash nowadays.
Overly set up for SEO, poorly researched and often just crammed with shitty ads. That they completely neglected the formats used by pirating and home content speaks volumes.
That’s why I now often prefer to just look up stuff on enthusiast forums, Reddit or to some extent Lemmy. The last hasn’t gotten as good of an integration with search engines.
