An AT&T Unix machine almost exactly like that was my intro to UNIX and the Internet circa 1988. A 1200baud(maybe it was 2400) connection to UCSD and I was in geek heaven. None of my fellow students understood me when I said it was going to change everything. Still a *nix geek 25+ years later.

That doesn't sound much different from the single ST-225 seeking sound clip they've used as "GENERIC COMPUTER NOISE" from the 80s all the way through finger pinch enhancing CSI in 2012. It is the Wilhelm scream of technology.

Memento posted:Don't mean to interrupt planechat, but I just wanted to share a dude I saw the other day on Westall Rd in Mulgrave, Melbourne, who looks like he may have forgotten to tighten up something on his Landcruiser. I figure he came around the left-turn a little hot, and the lack of load on the front-left made it let go. Click for original gently caress-off-enormous phone camera size. Looks like a kingpin bearing failure which has destroyed the tie rod. Probably not a massive pain cost to repair, but a HUGE pain in the arse as you need to fully dismantle the knuckles to fix it.

Yeah, it got to the point I almost knew the entire boot process by heart just by listening to it. Re-installing AT&T System V Unix off 30+ 5-1/4 floppy disks was an experience I could do without, however. I've been forced to learn Windows/AD, but I'm still the only one where I work who can work on the Linux/Solaris/AIX machines. Viggen posted:3B1? Ever been on EFnet? If so, I probably know you. The 3B1 has a bump in the case under the monitor to accommodate a full height 40MB Miniscribe drive, the 7300 was smooth. My dad still has 3 of them on a shelf somewhere (I think my dad may qualify as a computer hoarder). I was never on EFnet, but did learn UUCP pathing to download things from a place called "The Shop". I also wasted countless hours playing the original rogue.

I can't find a good original for that video (it looks like it's been ganked from break.com, uploaded to youtube, then ripped and put on liveleak, then turned into a GIF, etc, so quality is well below "potato") but here's another of the same shredder working on whole engines and transmissions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU3eEVzwe20

Not sure where to post this but there's an airbag recall which could cause a horrible mechanical failure which would ruin your day or kill you, and it covers a lot of brands. It's more likely to occur in hot climates. Not sure if the word is getting out on this or not so apologize if it's already been posted. http://www.nhtsa.gov/About+NHTSA/Press+Releases/Vehicle-owners-with-defective-airbags-urged-to-take-immediate-action E: WHat I roughly heard yesterday is that the airbag can explode in the wrong way and send metal fragments into the cabin.

I like how they are demonstrating that this machine will grab and destroy literally anything and they use it without any guards or safety features at all. almost expect the last clip to be found footage as they pass themselves through it.

It's the price you pay for not getting your chest caved in by a steering column, and fair enough. But they have chemicals in them that retard actual flame fronts from developing. Speaking of airbags, that Takata recall has already turned very nasty

Didn't one of the first cars with airbags have a design "feature" that vented the hot gasses directly onto the drivers' chest/lap?
