@Luke @chockenberry Same, same. A couple of these are Yamaha WXA-50 amplifiers which support AirPlay 2 natively.

Sunday morning, so it’s the perfect time think about the direct line from sheep to AI.

Sheep to wool
Wool to weaving
Weaving to patterns
Patterns to increasingly complex looms
Complex looms to punch cards
Punch cards to computers
Computers to AI

@stegrainer @sarajw @simplebits I was one of the founders of Veer (and before that, EyeWire). Veer was acquired by Bill Gate’s Corbis in 2007. I left in 2009 when the business was going the microstock route. Corbis moved what was left of the Veer operations from Calgary to Seattle, effectively killing it. In 2016, Corbis sold the bulk of its image and licensing assets (including the Veer brand) to a media company based in China.

There is STILL time to tell MPs to vote NO on #BillC22! Civil society, academic experts, Apple, Signal, VPN companies – all have told government this legislation circumvents encryption and breaks 🇨🇦 privacy!

Please join your voice to them if you haven't already here: https://www.openmedia.org/StopC22

Stop the Surveillance State: Stop Bill C-22!

🚨 Bill C-22 forces every Canadian internet provider, messaging app & cloud service to build surveillance backdoors and store a year of your data. Foreign state hackers exploited similar legislation in the US. Shut the backdoor: https://openmedia.org/StopC22 #BillC22

More PC Emulation Book stuff.

Working on the section for the CGA. Here's a visualization of how the Character Attribute byte applies color to your glyphs.
