Am I reading right that tape storage is now back and set to eclipse current hard drive capacity?
Tape storage has always had more capacity than HDs, Mark. Most long term stuff is on magneto-optical these days. I use a great service called AWS Glacier for my long term archival storage. Half a cent per gig per month so my 370 gig archive costs about $1.85/mo to store.
Never heard of it before. Went to Wiki, now more confused than ever, lol.
Same size though?
Remember cassette tapes were used for computer storage, so your statement is not 100% correct.
I believe the tape drive producer is one of the old cassette giants.
It’s all a tradeoff between capacity and access speed. Glacier costs just half a cent per gig per month but they charge for retrieval and that retrieval takes hours. S3 which is AWS fast storage has excellent access speed but it costs 10 times as much. Whatever tech you use, it’s fast, big and cheap, pick any two.
What graphic calculators have you used?
Casio? I sold my old TI-85 ( I had the larger 2 hand model). Don’t do math to that sophistication anymore. They are pricey now.
I am going to go way back with an old review text I have starting from basic arithmetic and all the way through advanced calculus. Some statistics too. But I started already small just relearning basic calculator functions, like use of memory and percents. Going to step it up to a scientific (I have a less expensive one that doesn’t graph from TI somewhere I think) and try to repair my brain hoepfully without without shorting.
Also I am going to make a slide rule and learn the abacus. Just because. That would take time and I need to do things in a review and to superficiality only deep enough to solve the easy problems.
It is depressing.
Adding machine looks attractive to me too. Want to be fast adder.
I don’t even know when I am being used for tech. It’s terrible mental burnout.
The future is unnerving.
This is going to take away some jobs. Possibly. Unless people order cheese.
So I bought a new set of clippers. These are a Surker model I bought in amazon for 30.99. It’s not fully waterproof like some other models for 20 or 30 more and specifies wet hand prohibited. Ceramic titanium alloy blade which can be washed. This is not like traditional clippers with the screws to adjust and align and they operate whisper quiet. Charging fully right now to try a side trim.
These are cordless and came with 2 batteries which I assume are lithium ion.
Question is for best battery life should I charge and deplete and recharge one battery until it no longer holds charge and then switch to the other one or should I charge both and alternate and not allow any battery to fully deplete ( as I have read this will degrade battery performance, life, and capacity) the battery installed already had operating charge.

Doesn’t seem anything new to me.
Yeah I had an idea for you, it was two pizza baking trays with a piece of rubber sandwiched between and glued. I don’t think it has to be steel to be tough, but toughness is only one facet.
You know there is hardness, toughness, yield, tensile, and elongation.
So not to rip anyone off too bad. Maybe you could find an area populated by orb weaver spiders and harvest the webs.
Check out some of these mechanical properties:
Remember the diamond stuff I was using for my face? You can buy diamond powder like that.
But it’s not the point. You have to be a patriot and you have to realize those baking trays were meant to bake bread. That doesn’t mean looking at a car manifold like baked bread. It means you have to be work on those qualities/properties of being the bread of life-your own life and the bread you body is.
But yes it sounds a lot like a shield and not a weapon. But have you ever played final fantasy? if you have maybe you got the ultima weapon in one of the games I-X or whatever number they are at now.
The Ultima weapon is powerful but its power increases and decreases with the players HP(hit points or health). The hp tends to increase with exp. which in turn increases the power.
I’d recommend you eat corn dogs with mustard and ketchup. Seagulls would eat those readily. Maybe eggs with a lot of butter too, really up that cholesterol.
Start with this.

They spelled yield as yeild. Don’t be surprised if they did the same to carbon.
I’m tempted by this. They made a big splash with this but had huge delays and lost momentum. They appear to be shipping these days. I might try it. $99 USD
I am not good at sitting around thinking about things. Ordered. lol.
