Buy a $10 Xbox gift card and send us the code so that we can activate it. Then you get back to the shop and get $20 in cash - $10 for returning the card and $10 from us. We’ll pay the tax, too.

Is there more info about this? I could only find Chinese forums like https://m-weibo-cn.translate.goog/status/OdaBMza1L?from=page_1005052963774131_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&jumpfrom=weibocom
The chips (basic TTL logic, perhaps) are all DIP. This may predate the term “open source”.
I have compiled all the “iota” Unicode search results so you can stop this thread.

Yes, get yourself eclipse glasses, a pinhole projector, a floppy disk, digital camera or whatever allows you to observe the eclipse safely – no phenomenon is worth risking your eyesight over. However, the consensus is that you can watch the sun flares without protection during totality. The totality lasted 0 to 4 minutes depending on your location.
…and ignore one of the coolest things there is to see on the sky
A solar or lunar eclipse?
Areas with loam touch all three sides. So… Some kind of loam exists without sand, some without clay and some without silt. I am not a soil scientist but I’d guess that any substance that contains neither is a kind of loam.
Hmmm, federation test
First sentence of my post, for this very reason – they own the franchise, after all. The law may also change the other way but that’s very unlikely to happen in the US within 50 years.
I wonder if they could develop a system of draconian DRM (only their own theatres with metal detectors, personalized online streams…) and mildly edit movies every few decades so that they can destroy the original and effectively renew copyright. The gaming industry’s always-online DRM makes nuking a release possible but copyright lasts for about 20 console generations (we’ve only had 8 so far!) so they don’t even have to do that.
I think that at least the sub-title “Episode IV: A New Hope” was added in that DVD release… Anyway, a “4K77” scan of a 1977 film reel distributed directly by the studio exists, it’s just noisy and needed color correction.
find an original film print and have it scanned
The 4K77 project did just that, scan and color correction to reverse fading, and effectively no other processing so they cannot claim copyright. Arguably, Harmy’s Despecialized Edition cannot either, even if the original becomes public domain, as it could be argued that their effort only served a technical purpose. I don’t think you can scan, upscale and denoise Steamboat Willie (Walt Disney, 1928) and claim copyright on that even if you do it by hand.
Interesting… Too bad a right-holder can do minor edits to their work and effectively extend copyright (which is already very long in my opinion) if they nuke the previous version. Lucas was surprisingly successful at that, and I think game studios or other creators could do that today too with their aggressive DRM tactics.
Thank you, great point!
Finally, I can calmly watch the performance of my stock portfolio
Knowing the perils of wireless energy transfer, I’m glad this didn’t go through. Imagine having 2000 W ready to be delivered from anywhere in the walls to a nearby hairdryer, or the metal springs in an unfortunately-placed old-fashioned armchair.

I analyzed it in another comment: the header says the image is 300x300px 8-bit RGBA but the data is invalid. Most viewers will notice that and show an error.
However, the syntax it used for embedding images is valid, as data:image/png;base64,
is the start of a valid image URL and you can use it like other image URLs in supported Markdown interpretors.
Example, using the 103-byte Google Maps’ sea tiles, and a 178-byte GIF:

You may try to figure out if the header checksum was stolen from elsewhere and corresponds to another common image size but I cannot be bothered. The data could be subjected to forensic analysis but we only really have 21 unique bytes, the rest is likely nonsense because data encoded by the DEFLATE algorithm is unlikely to be so repetitive. Also, the image in total will likely have just 481 bytes (8+(8+13+4)+(8+420+4)+16), as a less-than-65535-byte IDAT chunk tends to be the last one before a 16-byte trailer. There are very few 300x300 PNGs of such small size we could call memes, most of it will have to be just solid color. Example of a 256x256 map tile you can store in around that size (467 B):
(And this one is pre-optimized, using an indexed palette of just 13 distinct RGB colors as opposed to the full RGBA gamut!)
No. They will just use the $10 card and leave. They will prey on the fact that “get a gift card for your computer troubles” is something a legitimate company has done.
