It’s news because the regulatory approval is very different between the US and the EU. Being the first of a kind in the US means you go through a more in depth process with FDA (DeNovo). It’s a big ac…

Indeed. I’ve always tried to send decent rejection letters but doing it honestly takes so much effort. Sometimes it just got to the bottom of my to-do list to die. You want to give constructive feedba…

You’ll enjoy the previous post from his blog about a real vintage masterpiece: https://blog.jgc.org/2023/12/restoration-of-ibm-thinkpad-701... …

I picked up sewing recently to put on the scout badges for my kids. After doing a couple by hand the machine is a real treat to work with! It’s also quite fun, highly recommended if you’re into making…

Interesting, thanks!

Alright that’s pretty bad but also 5 years ago.

What are your main problems with AKS? I’m setting up a new greenfield project and have to use it. Would be nice to avoid done pitfalls.

It’s a long running feud I believe. Look at his twitter profile and website to see how he communicates.

No he came across as one. Look at his website and tell me you don’t think the way he presents himself is weird: https://danodowd.com/ I’ve met engineers with a similar attitude and t…

The fight that their founder and CEO had with Elon on twitter was so weird. Came across as a complete crackpot saying his software is perfect and can never be hacked. That sounds insane but then actua…

Yes, there’s a 20 year maximum duration for patents. Depending on some technicalities it could be a year or two longer but definitely under 26. Unless someone created additional patents with improveme…

That should be irrelevant, because flush is flush right? If your SSD does not write the data after a flush it's violating basic hard drive functionality.

afaik the jury is still out on this. There is a lot of correlation, but the causal relation is not widely accepted by science yet. Happy to be shown otherwise!

Do you have a link? I’m curious.

That structure seems really large. But it’s really sharp and I’d say within an order of magnitude of reading license plates. Doesn’t seem like a stretch to think they can go to higher resolutions.

From satellites? I find that hard to believe, I always thought that the atmospheric distortion significantly limits the resolution of the images.

I believe there has been a general sense of "AWS/GCP/Azure are not compliant with EU GDPR (see Schrems II and possible future cases) but there is no alternative" with most EU based…

Cool! I have an interesting project but it’s still waiting for Security Level 3 support in Web Bluetooth. Also Peripheral mode would be nice.

Happy to see them with an owner that has more time for them! Do you have more info on how the spraying works? I might be interested for some of my other old Thinkpads.

Did you get both machines to boot in the end? Looking forward to the next blog posts!

Exactly. Buy T, X or P series. For non-demanding users L series might be OK, but I prefer to buy second-hand / refurbished T series instead. Avoid E series, or at least don't expect any &quo…

Disagree! I've been using Thinkpads since 2004 and was a bit obsessed with them around 2010 and almost had a museum with old machines I bought on eBay. I had two 701cs's butterfly models etc…

Probably alupex "meerlagenbuis"? Comparing it to copper it seems to be much more affordable per meter. I worked mostly with copper in the past, but did some work with alupex on my brother&#x…

Cool! Do you maybe have a link to that tool / the name of the shop?

No need for a witch hunt. There is a risk classification system for medical devices. Most regulatory bodies have put contact lenses in the moderate to high risk category. E.g. the FDA classifies conta…

First of: adapting to new glasses is normal and can take a couple of weeks. For A: I don’t really know, but use the ones that gives you B. Depending on the country, high end / non-chain stores ca…

Agreed on all points. Also the acceptability varies a lot. By your wording it sounds like you are quite picky about glasses and would A) not go to a random optician and B) return the glasses if you a…

Not everywhere in Europe. It varies by country. Also please drop the ad-hominem. Contact lenses are a high risk medical device. Contamination or mis-use can cause serious permanent damage. Wanting to …

There’s multiple companies bringing this to the market as telemedicine (edit: yes already now in the US). Basically you do an eye test (to measure visual acuity) at home using your phone or computer a…
