So I guess foreign kill squad agents will now be buying safe houses in the enclave? I googled the development, and it's very out of the way and very cheaply made, and marketed as the cheapest housing in Kigali, so it won't cost them much. e: I'm half joking and half serious. This is the car journey from the posh part of the development to the centre of Kigali https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLino5dtwCk fuctifino fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Mar 18, 2023 |

Money well spent LMBO. The only way it would be better is if it counted as "international aid" (and I'm not entirely sure it doesn't).

Those things were unreliable af when they were new, I am not hopeful of their readability twenty years on. Bonus points if you find one that hooks up to a parallel port (and a computer that has a parallel port).

I had wodges of 100MB & 250MB disks from 20 years ago to back up my PhD work. (More than 20 years, I graduated to CDRW after a couple of years when I finally got a computer with a 3GB hard drive - on 2 partitions!!!! and a CDRW drive). ^^^ one of mine was USB not parallel port IIRC. Btw you can find them on ebay if you really want one. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Mar 19, 2023 |

I did find one that supposedly came with a raspberry pi that converted it to USB, but it was about £300 and on eBay, so no guarantee it would actually work. I've tried to find hire places but it's just not something I can waste money on if they've disintegrated in the intervening 20 odd years.

I just saw some on Ebay for about £15! & sure a parallel port/USB adapter could be bought for under £10. Depends how keen you are to get your stuff. I bet someone on here has got one lurking around.

Ah thank gently caress you can disable this in iOS as well (bottom of Settings > Notifications) I can’t really think of any event they warrants a central, government-issued alert that blasts pasts my silent / sleep settings, and I wouldn’t trust them to not misuse it in any case.

I was on holiday in Düsseldorf in Germany last week with my sister. On the day we got there, after not having slept much (driving to airport, short early morning flight, getting situated at the hotel), I was standing in front of a beautiful old church when I heard the warning tone come from my phone, as well as the phones of other people in the square. I look at my phone and see EMERGENCY ALERT followed by a German warning that I am not quite advanced enough to translate. My sister is asking me where we should go next while I'm frantically trying to translate this message, when the city warning siren starts going off. At this point I'm convinced that we're about to be consumed in fire from the skies and my brain shuts down completely. A minute later the alert message service must have realised I was on an English phone and sent the translated emergency alert, that said it was a test and there was no danger.  If I'd been in less of a panic I would have recognised the "kein gefähr" in the message, which I know means "no danger", and I would have seen the people around me calmly going about their day while the sirens sounded. But unfortunately I have watched Threads at least once in my life and so my brain is now completely ruined. Don't think I want emergency alerts on my phone in the UK, thanks, I want to be oblivious when it happens!

Having watched Threads for the first time recently, the only use I’ll have for a nuclear attack alarm on my phone is if it’ll allow me to run headfirst into wherever it’s about to go off

It makes sense if you live somewhere that has tornadoes or earthquakes but I can't really think of anything in the UK that would merit an emergency alert, all our world ending issues are quite visible it's just nobody does anything about them. Also I get the air raid siren every week from wilton so I think I am pretty much deaf to them.
