yep. most handheld ham rigs have a combo 2.5mm and 3.5mm speaker mic plug/socket setup



it will of course surprise nobody that there is no standard for which one is speaker/headphones, which one is mic, and what the conductors on each do

Also Baofeng does everything through that port, breaking it out into a serial-to-usb adaptor cable because loving fengs, man.

My major tech things that I just remembered are:

Back in the early 2000s when it was like, a big deal that fast food places started accepting cards. I wanna say McD's or Wendy's was like the last of those to fall and accept cards and now like lol the only places that don't are the occasional food truck or random taco stand style place in a train station.

Also, joining the 2600 Discord (which is probably an ancient tech thing in and of itself) and they had a loving idlerpg channel, which gave me a vietnam-style flashback to IRC.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

someone needs to make a new case that looks and feels like an old IBM tower workstation

not only one that’s reminiscent of the PS/2 Model 80 or its thicker brother the 95 (people wanted horizontal 5.25in bays, I guess)

but one that’s reminiscent of the absolute units in the RS/6000 Model 520 series

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
A wikidive led me to this device: the Ben NanoNote. A "pocket computer" from 2010 based on OpenWrt(!), with a 336 MHz MIPS processor, 32 or 64 megs of RAM, a 320x240 color displays, and IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN (the same layer 2 as Zigbee) as its only wireless connectivity. As Wikipedia puts it "reviewers praised its small size and low cost (US$99), but also criticized the device for its initial lack of any networking capability and for its extremely modest data storage and RAM capabilities in comparison to other contemporary devices."
