  1. Wow, so much salt in these replies. Some people can't let a compliment pass.

  2. I have a Panasonic radio I picked up in an antique shop. It was made in Japan in 1970 or 71, and it's a solid piece of tech. Now all these Japanese brands, like many US brands, are made outside of the brand's home country and the QC is a bit spotty at times.

  3.  @capmidnite  Yes, a wristwatch is still the most convenient way to track time, especially if your hands are full. A phone is a fancy pocketwatch.

  6. 16:00 Robotron 2084 was also the name of a kickass arcade videogame in the 80s, used to love playing that.

  7. Interesting. The only digital camera I ever bought is a Fujifilm in 2004. It's a 6MP, which was decent for the time, and has tons of features, but it's one major flaw is that it has horrible shutter lag. Any film camera blows it away in that one department. I never bought another digital camera, though, my smartphone does the job. Ironically I shoot film as a hobby and love the old beautiful vintage cameras. Film is now a niche art medium. Fujifilm film is still one of the best quality films on the market. I still use Kodak Tri-X film, too, but I don't think it's actually made by Kodak anymore, rather it's made under license using Kodak's formula, or so I've heard. Kodak film has also become unreasonably expensive, which, in a market chock full of films to choose from, is not good.

  8. ​ @AlexKarasev And if the government didn't have a robust free market economy to tax, and to provide quality work, Apollo wouldn't have happened. That's why the N1 rocket was hot garbage.

  9. ​ @tomschmidt381 Bell Labs dove deep into information theory, which is way beyond "just telephone stuff".

  10. Chiba is coincidentally the opening setting of William Gibson's Nueromancer.
