The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

The Tandy Zoomer -- The x86 PDA before the Palm Pilot
A 1992 handheld, with multitasking, that could access AOL. Wild.

The 1996 release of the first Palm Pilot was, in the minds of many, the first truly successful launch of a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). But the seeds of the Palm Pilot were planted several years earlier.

In fact the company behind the Palm Pilot, “Palm Computing Inc.”, was founded back in 1992 for the sole purpose of creating software for another just released PDA… the Tandy Zoomer.

The Tandy Zoomer

Also known as the “Tandy Z-PDA”, “Casio Z-7000”, and “AST GRiDpad” (all essentially the same hardware sold by different brands) was a truly groundbreaking — and fascinating — device.

Fun fact: The name “Zoomer” was used as a shortened, slang-y version of “consumer”. Get it? “Conzoomer”? Seriously. That’s the reason behind the name.

The Zoomer (aka “Z-PDA”) with the address book. Note that fields can be ASCII text or doodles.

Let's dive into the hardware, Operating System, and software stack... which directly led to the creation of the Palm Pilot.

Lunduke's 10 Favorite Pieces of Tech Satire

Does The Lunduke Journal publish some of the most intense, hard-hitting Tech Journalism on planet Earth?  Sure.

But sometimes we need to cut loose -- shake off all that seriousness and have a good laugh.

What follows are Lunduke's 10 favorite pieces of Tech Satire.  At least as of this moment.  Lunduke is fickle, so which ones are his favorite will likely change some time after he finishes lunch.

  1. Local man throws out box of cables
  2. Local man switches to Arch, tells no one
  3. Apple announces new M3 MacBook Pro with "40% more glue"
  4. Linus Torvalds threatens to punish developers by putting Rust in the Linux Kernel
  5. Vegan, Arch-using, Steam Deck owner who programs in Rust banned from the Internet
  6. NetBSD ported to Cheese Sandwich
  7. ASUS moves power button to center of all laptop keyboards
  8. Las Vegas Sphere launches Flying Toaster Screensaver after 15 minutes of inactivity
  9. Ubuntu to enact new marketing strategy: "Stay quiet and watch Red Hat implode"

Microsoft Windows 1.0 : Not as bad as you'd think
Multitasking. Virtual Memory. Tiled window manager. Turns out the very first version of Windows (from 1985) actually has some good points.

Today, we're going to travel back to November 20th, 1985 – less than one month after McFly first revved the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour – and the release of one of the most historically important software releases in history.

Microsoft Windows 1.0

When Windows 1.0 was first released (actually the first public release was version 1.01… technically speaking version “1.0” never saw the light of day) it didn't receive the most positive reception.

To say the least.

The New York Times compared the performance of Windows 1.0 as “akin to pouring molasses in the Arctic.”

This poor reception (some of which was valid criticism, others were results of people simply not understanding what they were reviewing) led to a general misunderstanding of what early versions of Windows actually were. This confusion was bolstered by poor and confusing marketing and communication from Microsoft.

The result is that many considered Windows 1.0 to be “essentially just a patch, or add-on, to” MS-DOS. In fact, this general sentiment and attitude continued through the Windows 3.1 years. “Windows is just a GUI on top of DOS!” being a common refrain.

The reality is a bit more complex (and far more interesting).
