it was an amazing company that did legendary, pioneering research and development and made outstanding research tools. the HP of today is the result of 50 years of mergers, acquisitions, conglomeration, and violent shittification.
The HP you mention still exists today as Hewlett-Packard Enterprises, a separate company from HP Inc, which is the consumer-facing brand. It’s very similar to what Motorola did in splitting into enterprise and consumer companies.
Fun fact! Motorola started out as a company making record players specifically for cars. The big name in record players at the time was Victrola, and since they were making them for motorcars they called themselves MotoRola.
Even more fun! In-car record players were made upside-down so that the weight of the record held it against the needle. These are all of my record player facts.
At this point I’m afraid to update anything because it will turn into a debilitating subscription fee. One is whatever, but 50 of them is insane, and that’s kinda where it’s going. Monthly fee for breathing next.
I keep hoping we’ll get off this planet and seed others so people can stop bickering and shooting over land lines on the same rock, but it’s getting harder and harder to find people willing to work for the greater good (not that one) and move forward as a species.
The fact I put a disclaimer in and you all still went right to Cornetto…that’s the stuff that makes the interwebs fun and I’m glad to see it on Lemmy 👍
There’s been tons of anti-American propaganda social media for at least eight years. The CCP and Kremlin realized they could divide Americans from within through social media.
I do agree to a point. But I also think America has organized crime issu s they hide. And that organized crime gets played out from other countries leaders.
It’s not as simple as blaming Russia or America. It’s all so intertwined and knotted it’s almost impossible to fix. I definitely see relation between the way some Republicans strike that… Politicians and business men act that is in line with the way I’ve authentic crime take power. It’s fucked. There’s an underworld right under everyone’s noses but they just don’t want to believe humanity isn’t as secure as their governments make them believe.
So a more pinpointed response… People are getting played by both Americans and Russians (and other countries) they use criminals and down trodden people to do their work. Same as the drug game. Get a sucker hooked on meth and make em your removed via extortion and death threats. Just looking at American politicians I can see them being so naive that they get played by criminals and they don’t even understand because they grew up posh and never knew how raw the world really is… Then they are doomed to be the removed of the mob or have their their family killed by the mob… For them they have to push the rhetoric or get themselves or their family killed.
I’ve seen more street life than I should have… Live is fucked to the core.
I’d like to think I’m just delusional… But life keeps proving me it’s reality.
It’s all “the game” as rappers say… And most of us are naive to it while we work for them or just out right enslaved by them.
We got Union as hell on this post, didn’t we. Every time I come back it has more comments.
I’m still mad as fuck that I can’t get my precious Lipton Instant Tea at Walmart, because I really was raised in a trailer park, so maybe that’s why I had to delete my own giant shitty comment about this.
LK-99 is a supposed superconductor that can operate at ambient atmospheric press and below temperatures of 127°c/260°f. In other words, a room-temperature superconductor. The holy grail of conductors. A material that’d completely revolutionize literally everything. Not only that, it’s made out of a lead-apatite, meaning it would potentially be relatively inexpensive to make. We could be on the edge of a new era.
AND HERE COMES THE BUTT
BUT my understanding is that attempts to replicate the experiment are currently inconclusive. There have supposedly been successful replications as well as unsuccessful attempts, however none of the papers have been peer reviewed yet. Additionally, computer simulations have given inconsistent results.
To add to this, this all burst into the news last week when some of the researchers behind LK-99 announced it just last week, and so labs around the world have been furiously trying to replicate their claimed results these past several days.
You forgot to mention the source of this info on lk 99 is coming from Russian and Chinese sources… and in the current climate they don’t have truckloads of credibility
Hey, you guys need to get out of the echo chamber every now and then. Originally discovered from a south Korean team. The experiment has been replicated by US, Chinese and Russian teams.
I’m very team skeptical, but I also like to celebrate good news and by itself. This is good news, is sort of the spirit of OP post. Once this gets out the lab what are the possibilities
Were all the replications successful? I’d heard the Chinese team claimed success but didn’t show proof, the Russian team claimed their results were negative but there was supposedly evidence that they’d used the wrong material (I’m not a scientist, just repeating what I’ve read) and I hadn’t heard anything about a US team replicating it in a lab (I’d heard there were simulations, but no lab results from US teams). Is there new info that I’ve missed? The fact that some simulations show similar results to the original paper makes me hopeful, but again, those are just simulations.
We live in a silly world. The Trial. Her facial implants. depps GFs age chart is close to diCaprio’s. Even Elon plays a role. On top of that there’s Trump, just like the Simpsons predicted
Maybe not the same, as its more of a service contract. At work, we have had a site which has been closed for 2 years. for 2 whole years, every week the vending machine company arrive, try to get in, can’t, ring us, and we say “that site is closed”.
Well we finally after 2 years got them to remove that site from their system?
Their response? to remove ALL food from ALL vending machines at all our sites, to remove the coffee machines, and to remove the water coolers. The water coolers are especially egregious, as they just sit there doing nothing. they are from tap water, so not even replacing bottles etc.
Sometimes subscriptions are useful. I wish the BBC TV licence in the UK was a subscription. I cannot justify spending £150 on a licence for an entire year, just to watch a month of shows. but other times it sucks. I just want Microsoft office. I don’t care if it will cost me £200. Right now my favourite game is subscription based, but i don’t think i can justify the £9.99 a month, or £50 for a whole year. £50 for lifetime access? maybe.
With the current situation, no way you are getting a lifetime access. Companies have discovered that people actually pay for subscriptions even if they don’t add anything worthwhile to keep you renewing.
You are just renting and there is no option to buy.
Dont think they can, it’s a real key for the software, the distributor just gets them bulk and through “grey” channels. There’s a whole writup on it.
Regardless i used to full pirate the whole office suite and hadn’t had an issue for 20 years, I’ll just go back to that if they somehow decide this key is illegitimate
