Update: I got a mouse and the bitch works again -_-
Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal
Curious how this popped up on my feed the day the touchpad on my laptop randomly stopped working so I have to operate it using only the keyboard like a DOS computer or whatever until I get a mouse

Meet Paul & Cyrus!
He/Him & They/It respectively.
Silly facts!!
▪︎ Paul & Cyrus are the same person, but from different eras. One is from the 2000s, the other is from the 2020s. This happens because Paul, an old computer, had modern parts put into him, creating Cyrus.
• If they were human, Paul would be 40-something. Cyrus would be 16.
▪︎ A change from one to the other would be shown with glitching on the screen and the brightening/darkening of the outlines.
Credits to Salven for helping me with some of the design elements for these guys.
Gosh imagine having a computer powerful enough to simulate every cell/DNA in a rabbit's body and also do it billions of times and use that to realistically and rapidly simulate the potential evolution of rabbits in multiple seed world scenarios including multiple scenarios with different co-inhabitants and predators.
I would sell my soul for this.
Celebrating Women’s Equality Day Across NASA
August 26 is celebrated in the United States as Women’s Equality Day. On this day in 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment was signed into law and American women were granted the constitutional right to vote. The suffragists who fought hard for a woman’s right to vote opened up doors for trailblazers who have helped shape our story of spaceflight, research and discovery. On Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate women at NASA who have broken barriers, challenged stereotypes and paved the way for future generations. This list is by no means exhaustive.
Rocket Girls and the Advent of the Space Age
In the earliest days of space exploration, most calculations for early space missions were done by “human computers,” and most of these computers were women. These women's calculations helped the U.S. launch its first satellite, Explorer 1. This image from 1953, five years before the launch of Explorer 1, shows some of those women on the campus of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
These women were trailblazers at a time when most technical fields were dominated by white men. Janez Lawson (seen in this photo), was the first African American hired into a technical position at JPL. Having graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, she later went on to have a successful career as a chemical engineer.
Katherine Johnson: A Champion for Women’s Equality
Mathematician Katherine Johnson, whose life story was told in the book and film "Hidden Figures," is 101 years old today! Coincidentally, Johnson’s birthday falls on August 26: which is appropriate, considering all the ways that she has stood for women’s equality at NASA and the country as a whole.
Johnson began her career in 1953 at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), the agency that preceded NASA, one of a number of African-American women hired to work as "human computers.” Johnson became known for her training in geometry, her leadership and her inquisitive nature; she was the only woman at the time to be pulled from the computing pool to work with engineers on other programs.
Johnson was responsible for calculating the trajectory of the 1961 flight of Alan Shepard, the first American in space, as well as verifying the calculations made by electronic computers of John Glenn’s 1962 launch to orbit and the 1969 Apollo 11 trajectory to the moon. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, by President Barack Obama on Nov. 24, 2015.
JoAnn Morgan: Rocket Fuel in Her Blood
JoAnn Morgan was an engineer at Kennedy Space Center at a time when the launch room was crowded with men. In spite of working for all of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, and being promoted to a senior engineer, Morgan was still not permitted in the firing room at liftoff — until Apollo 11, when her supervisor advocated for her because of her superior communication skills. Because of this, Morgan was the instrumentation controller — and the only woman — in the launch room for the Apollo 11 liftoff.
Morgan’s career at NASA spanned over 45 years, and she continued to break ceiling after ceiling for women involved with the space program. She excelled in many other roles, including deputy of Expendable Launch Vehicles, director of Payload Projects Management and director of Safety and Mission Assurance. She was one of the last two people who verified the space shuttle was ready to launch and the first woman at KSC to serve in an executive position, associate director of the center.
Oceola (Ocie) Hall: An Advocate for NASA Women
Oceola Hall worked in NASA’s Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity for over 25 years. She was NASA’s first agency-wide Federal Women’s program manager, from 1974 – 1978. Hall advanced opportunities for NASA women in science, engineering and administrative occupations. She was instrumental in initiating education programs for women, including the Simmons College Strategic Leadership for Women Program.
Hall’s outstanding leadership abilities and vast knowledge of equal employment laws culminated in her tenure as deputy associate administrator for Equal Opportunity Programs, a position she held for five years. Hall was one among the first African-American women to be appointed to the senior executive service of NASA. This photo was taken at Marshall during a Federal Women’s Week Luncheon on November 11, 1977 where Hall served as guest speaker.
Hall was known for saying, “You have to earn your wings every day.”
Sally Ride: Setting the Stage for Women in Space
The Astronaut Class of 1978, otherwise known as the “Thirty-Five New Guys,” was NASA’s first new group of astronauts since 1969. This class was notable for many reasons, including having the first African-American and first Asian-American astronauts and the first women.
Among the first women astronauts selected was Sally Ride. On June 18, 1983, Ride became the first American woman in space, when she launched with her four crewmates aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger on mission STS-7. On that day, Ride made history and paved the way for future explorers.
When those first six women joined the astronaut corps in 1978, they made up nearly 10 percent of the active astronaut corps. In the 40 years since that selection, NASA selected its first astronaut candidate class with equal numbers of women and men, and women now comprise 34 percent of the active astronauts at NASA.
Charlie Blackwell-Thompson: First Female Launch Director
As a part of our Artemis missions to return humans to the Moon and prepare for journeys to Mars, the Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket will carry the Orion spacecraft on an important flight test. Veteran spaceflight engineer Charlie Blackwell-Thompson will helm the launch team at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Her selection as launch director means she will be the first woman to oversee a NASA liftoff and launch team.
"A couple of firsts here all make me smile," Blackwell-Thompson said. "First launch director for the world's most powerful rocket — that's humbling. And I am honored to be the first female launch director at Kennedy Space Center. So many amazing women that have contributed to human space flight, and they blazed the trail for all of us.”
The Future of Women at NASA
In this image, NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch pose for a portrait inside the Kibo laboratory module on the International Space Station. Both Expedition 59 flight engineers are members of NASA's 2013 class of astronauts.
As we move forward as a space agency, embarking on future missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond, we reflect on the women who blazed the trail and broke glass ceilings. Without their perseverance and determination, we would not be where we are today.

Hi! :D 👋 I haven’t posted in a while but istg I’m cooking up something you guys couldn’t even imagine anyway in the mean time have this :3
Project time!
So for some time now I've had an idea of an usb extension that lets you choose between two usb ports using a switch.
So I started taking measurements and making the design:
Then I actually made the thing, I would have loved to make it on a PCB for it to be more sturdy and reliable but that’s not suitable for me at the moment, so I just soldered some cables (what a mess) and now it’s time to test it.
After some adjustments a resoldering it works just fine and I have a functional prototype that I hope does not burn my computer.
So, the switch selects which USB port receives power. That way, when on the left it activates the left port:
And when in the right it reads the right port:
The Usb on the left has a solid black image and the one on the right a solid white.
It works so only the selected Usb port is the one that works.
I sure could really use a Home_Computer with a 10 or 1,000 Core CPU and at least 8_GBs of Dual_Channel or Quad_Channel Random_Access Memory!
Happy birthday to Alan Turing, they would have been 109 (and yes I choose to believe they would have lived that long).

When the school computers don’t work again
This is the computer which I am planning to get my hands on in late June. Priced on average from 700 to 900 usd, the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 (2017 model) is a lightweight beast, coming in with lower model stats like 256 GB SSD, 8 GB memory, as well as a 3.6 GHz Intel i5 processor. A 13 inch screen weighing in at barely 3 pounds is the perfect protable laptop for my needs. Hit me up in the suggestions for comparisons, tech suggestions, and software review.

here u go!!
i hope you enjoy it, and sorry if its slightly anachronistic ^^
Computers are very simple you see we take the hearts of dead stars and we flatten them into crystal chips and then we etch tiny pathways using concentrated light into the dead star crystal chips and if we etch the pathways just so we can trick the crystals into doing our thinking for us hope this clears things up.
It’s hard to go wrong with a technology degree. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, computer science is the STEM major with the highest job offer and job acceptance rate
The TRS-80s are coming! They'll be unstoppable with their 16k of RAM! Keep watching the skies!
