Seems like a simple acronym to me:

Everyone Do Your Thing, Just Episode Downloads (for) Home & Great Movie Downloads. Happy Media.

“…[Y]ou lack a basic understanding of the law, … and ethic[s]…”

Not taking away from her stunning writing, but this shorter version wouldn’t be wrong either.

I just finished the first book of the Scholomance series by Naomi Novik. I started a new job and my brain has been there so I’ve fallen behind in reading. It was good and an interesting take on the “school for magic” genre.

Starting the second book in Max Gladstone’s Craft series. I read the first one for r/fantasy BINGO last year and really enjoyed it.

USB or PS/2 version?

Basically all of us in the 90’s watching scrambled porn.

The original ones had a PS/2 port, where you would just insert it in between your keyboard and the computer, and when it scanned it effectively just was entering the keys as though they had been typed out on the keyboard itself. The very end days for this product they introduced a USB version but it’s by far the less common.

I remember being a teenager in the 90’s and going in to see if I could special order a 75pf - 100pf Variable Capacitor. The guy behind the counter just said that he wasn’t going to help me because he knew I was just looking to make a cable descrambler to watch ppv porn. I mean, he wasn’t wrong, but it still hurt.

Yeah, I made this one 1st, but realized that there were probably others who would appreciate the info so I made it a top level comment too.

It was US based, but there were stores in United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. It was owned by Tandy Corporation who made early home computers starting in the late 1970’s and home electronics gear. (They originally started as a leather and craft supplier though)
