The beauty of working in an office highly integrated with Microsoft products is consistency. You can write a document in desktop Microsoft Word 365 saved as Microsoft's DOCX format so that when you send it to a co-worker on Microsoft Teams and they click on it to open it in web Microsoft Word 365 you can consistently expect the formatting to be completely different.
i am going to take the internet back by force or die trying
one of my favourite things is how, like, you think about Asimov, and you might have this image of this old timey science fiction author completely removed from modern technology, right
anyway here he is selling radio shack computers
@Angela i never even questioned it. oh yeah it's a canal and that's the route i'm taking
@Angela thank you for making me feel less alone
it took me 20 years to realize route kanal is a pun

This quote has been circulating recently, from a 1985 paper that was part of a conversation at the time about what a computer program *is*. Is it the source code? Or the final executable binary? Or the sum of its versions? Or the people who wrote it?
I've been programming for over 40 years, and I can tell you with great confidence that Naur was right. When I'm building software, first and foremost what I'm building is me.

SMD soldering using the sun.
it works astonishingly well. the trick is to de-focus the spot and light up the whole PCB. first we failed by heating the metal plate underneath with a highly focused spot. but that led to accidentally burnt PCB spots at corners and didn't melt the paste.
it works so much better than using a hot plate, so I officially declare it state of the art as of today.

@Angela well it says right here *taps clipboard* you're doing a great job. and you know things on a clipboard are always true
wow! i'm a lesbian
now i wish i had stuff to archive but i guess at least it's useful for writing new amiga disks without having to do it through the amiga itself
something that stands out to me is how the erased side is straighter than the formatted side being wobbly. that's (i imagine) a tell that the original formatting was done in a different drive with a slightly different head alignment
i played with flux-erasing a disk and then reading it back and for some reason it managed to not erase a couple of tracks on one side which makes for very educational material comparing a demagnetized track vs. a FAT12 MFM formatted one
yeah it's fine now
i can read and write amiga disks, woo
