Das ist eine sehr coole #Podcast-Episode über die #PDA-Zeit mit #Palm, Apple #Newton und Co.
Ich war auch begeisterter Palm-Nutzer und weine vielen Features von #DateBk6 nach, die ich seither nirgendwo mehr gesehen habe (außer mein Nachbau davon mit #Orgmode).
Für Nostalgiker sehr empfehlenswert.
Edit: mein Favorit damals: Palm #Tungsten T3 mit DateBk6 (extra gekauft). Das war damals wirklich gut.
Edit2: https://inlovewithpda.com/ wird dort erwähnt und ist sehr cool gemacht.
Africa: Inside Rwanda's Tungsten Mine Which Is the Leading Producer in Africa: [New Times] It is a busy Monday at Nyakabingo Mine in Rulindo District as over 2,000 workers engage in various roles, from office duties to mechanised underground mining in search of wolframite, the host mineral for tungsten. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJJjV4 #Rwanda #Tungsten #Mining #Wolframite #Africa
#Trump’s #tariffs, which slap a 10% #tariff on all Chinese goods, went into effect after the #US & #China did not strike a deal by 12:01AM Tues. China’s response further escalates #trade tensions between the world’s 2 largest economies.
China’s Ministry of #Finance announced 15% tariffs on #coal & #LNG, & 10% tariffs on crude #oil, #agricultural machinery & some #vehicles. The Ministry of #Commerce announced export restrictions on materials such as #tungsten & #sanctions on 2 US companies.
Finland, Ukraine develop warfare drone
Finnish-Ukrainian #drone equipped with radio control system, a transfer function, & VR goggles. It's #LongRange & resistant to interference
Described as a combination of an explosive charge & drone. Drone transports an #explosive charge which is detonated above a target
The explosion of #steel and #tungsten pellets scatters to the ground and can pierce the roof of a light #armored vehicle

In a bold move, the Democratic Republic of #Congo #DRC has filed criminal complaints against #Apple in #Belgium and #France, accusing the tech firm of using #conflictminerals in its supply chain.
Congo is a major source of #tin, #tantalum and #tungsten and some artisanal mines are run by armed groups involved in massacres of civilians, mass rapes, looting and other crimes, according to U.N. experts and #humanrights groups.

Last week I bought two #Palm Tungsten C for an unbeatable price. This model has Wifi and a keyboard. Internally they are powered by an Intel XScale 400MHz processor which is really fast for this small type of device.
And this Friday I get my #Palm Tungsten T3 - I couldn't resist
Someone has to stop me
Pun, lewd-adjacent: instead of 'balls of steel', furries would probably prefer this expression:
