You’re telling me the US had the capability to eliminate any of the worst ones in much more problematic countries and chose not to because there was no oil in it for them? That’s a grim thought.

Swap the keyboard for the old school ThinkPad key card from the x220. That thing is goat (you’ll want to either replace the palm rest or file the knobbins on the keyboard a bit)

But that’s even more true for broadcast. One 2.3kW transmitter works just as well for one receiver as it does for 10M. Hell even 100M, depending on geography, population density, and frequency band. That’s not true of network infrastructure.

Thanks :)
I think they are kind of neat. Large volume cold storage is a big issue for home gamers/self hosters. Storage, at scale, can be very expensive and so hard to backup. Tapes are great, but incredibly fucking expensive (the tapes no so bad, but the drives are thousands of dollars… Used!) So I really wish high capacity BluRay M-Discs were more prevalent, market at scale would easily drive down the cost of the media, and the drives are/were already cheap. Unfortunately seeing the trajectory optical medias are in right now, that’s very unlikely to happen :(

Just throwing the 1000 years mark is a kinda of marketing. But the cool thing is there’s actual science behind it.
But the issue with writable optical discs is that the substrate is based on organic material. These material, usually a cyano group, oxidize over time. You can help slow that does by keeping them out of the sun, prevent heat cycles, etc. But short of storing them in nitrigen they will eventually oxidize. What’s more, CDs have their data layer completely exposed on top making the problem even more pronounced. DVDs and Blu-ray at least have a layer of plastic on top of the data layer, but that’s obviously still not 100% impermeable to oxygen.
M-Discs on the other hand use a carbon glass for the data layer. Something that doesn’t oxidize. Heat cycling night form cracks in it, so yeah I would avoid significant heat/cold cycles if you want them to last, but past that they should be really fucking stable.
It is 100 years? 500? 999? Maybe, but it’s kind of irrelevant. In optimal storage conditions (which are easily achievable) they should last many lifetimes.

Yeah it’s not like the WV Westfalia that had you sit over the front wheel where the only choice for crumple zones was your legs.
When they made the new beattle it had a very similar shape as well. I see no reasons why it couldn’t be made with modern safety standards with very minimal changes to the exterior body. Obviously, I’m not a member of the SAE.
- Comment on Poll: What connector do you prefer for your shack? 6 months ago:
N, but I wished TNC was more common. It’s smaller but way nicer to handle than SMA.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
M-Disks are rate for one thousand years. Unlike other writable optical meidaz it doesn’t use an organic substrate. It’s carbon glass, very stable.
