The “Jindallae 3” smartphone - named after a type of Korean rhododendron – was recently developed by the DPRK's Mangyongdae Information Technology Corporation, according to the report. “The research group follows the Party’s intention to actively develop high-tech products," the article said, claiming the manufacturer had resolved “all the issues regarding the development of the smartphone without any difficulties and in the Korean way.” The design of the smartphone’s appearance and structure, the circuit design of motherboard, and the program design of the mobile operating systems had all been locally manufactured, the report argued.

Thank you for switching to paperless billing! Here's an ozone scented air freshener to help you move past the loss of your laserjet. I actually did get rid of my printer moving into my current (small) apartment. It was a trusty old LaserJet 2100 with duplex. Got it for free at my old computer recycling job. It was nearing 100k pages printed but worked like new. Much like postage stamps or writing a check, I only really NEED to print something 2 or 3 times a year. Someone did take it off the curb when I was moving out. Maybe it's still out there, chugging away with the same used toner cartidge I got with it. Those things last forever for home use...

You can pry my Dell 832c laser toner printer from my cold, dead hands. When I picked it up for $25 from Goodwill the toner meter said the black was empty so I bought a brand new one. That was four years ago and I still haven't opened the new cartridge. That "empty" one has printed at least a thousand pages.

I bought an ancient Brother color laser from a sign shop that finally upgraded their equipment, and that thing was nothing short of amazing. Sold me on the brand for life. Sure, it weighed a ton and--even on its own circuit--dimmed the lights in the house when it powered up, but those toner carts lasted ages even with regular use. We used that thing for years until I took it apart one day to clean it because it wasn't feeding correctly, only to find there was nothing I could do to fix the problem without some expensive parts only a few online sellers had (at a huge markup). We'd worn the drat thing out. To the curb it went, with a note saying "works, but needs parts" and a short explanation of what was wrong so some daring soul could try to resurrect it. It disappeared in short order, and I know in my heart that heavy fucker is out there somewhere, churning out immaculate full-color full-page prints

Shop drawings are done with the pens more often than not. So do some major power infrastructure companies. I do for my job whenever I get the chance. The technical pens are across the store from the technical drawing gear because youre in an art supply store most likely focusing on architects and architecture students. I got my last set of replacement nibs from a brick and mortar drafting supplies store. Having said that i got my latest set of needle nibs from a pawn shop for like 40 bucks.

When I worked as a Network Controller for our national rail network we had a computer system for controlling the trains but we also had to plot every locos movement across the network on big sheets of paper. I could click to send a train somewhere, but also hand draw it on the graph and radio through movements. It was highly redundant and EVERY day was rolled up and stored for future analysis/evidence.

Hello fellow railroad employee. We once had some field guys being in a all in one touchscreen PC that had stopped working and they needed the HDD's contents because the Feds. Upon examination, there was nothing really wrong with it besides the fact that it had been run nonstop since 1994, so about 20 years at that time. The ball bearings in the drives had literally worn out from two decades of use. I wish that had found its way home with me. An all in one and a touchscreen one at that was something I didn't even know existed back then. I'm not even sure what most of the ports on it were for

I got one a number of years ago at a garage sale and it was fully loaded with Singaporean Military programs for artillary trajectory stuff from what I could gather poking around it until I wiped it.

Hah, this is still the case for one of the rail networks in Australia. Nearly everything is controlled via the computer systems, but they still track everything on paper and have to store those records for 7 years. Also hilarious, one of the lines uses a 150 year old signalling system, there's only a handful of people that still know how to run it as everyone has retired, AND it has better on-time performance and reliability than other lines with modern signalling  http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/end-of-the-line-nears-for-seymours-150yearold-train-signals-20170312-guwcwt.html GrandMaster has a new favorite as of 14:50 on Jul 4, 2017 |

While a lot of it is computer operated, a lot of those computer systems are amstrads. That's not the only line that has those signals. The whole victorian network is set up to run off flags if need be. In fact, when we had a big failure a few years ago, we did in fact run a metropolitan line using signal flags. Also the syemour line has better on time performance and reliability because it runs like 8 trains a day and doesn't have a lot of level crossings. Also before we found it and wired it out there was a switch that turned off an entire train line out in western melbourne. The switch was found when builders where isolating a shed in a siding yard out there and turned it off. About 30 seconds later they started getting frantic phone calls. Edit: Holy poo poo I read that article, I actually worked on the projects they talk about there, Also I forgot to add the interstate and freight trains that run on that line and it hosed up my numbers.

I used to be with QR/Aurizon before they pretty much gutted themselves. Also in that article they mention the double line blocking signaling is the last in the country in operation. I'm not sure for today but maybe 3 years ago Gladstone in Central Queensland still had one operational system. What is your definition of 'most important' on the lines? We had a public face policy saying 2 legs, 4 legs, no legs (People, livestock, freight) but it was totally the opposite - gotta roll that coal!

The front of the chasis is a grid with a stack of LEDs for each processor, and a line of LEDs between the nodes to show interconnects. The short horizontal dashes in the photo are idle CPUs, the yellow and green squares are CPUs under load. On the righthand side of the photo you can see some of the interconnects lit up. Of course there was a diagnostic utility that generated load and IPC in a specific pattern so as to cause messages to scroll across your supercomputer.

Both the computer and it's OS are prime examples of old hardware with fantastic design. I still mourn for the market failure of BeOS, as it is still to this day one of the best designed GUIs of any OS, and was extremely tightly coded - to the point where the time it took from a fresh install to booting to the desktop for the first time took less than a minute on late 90's hardware (well before SSDs were a thing). You could shutdown and reboot in seconds, and it was highly optimized for video and audio work. (yes, I'm aware of the open-source Haiku project to remake BeOS)
