The publisher Blondel la Rougery made a modernized one, I had a poster version from a mid-nineties copy of the French GEO magazine, now misplaced. Sadly they went out of business shortly afterwards, and the map seems out of print.

Here is a 1953 version from the Rumsey collection:

Also invented Reverse Polish Notation, as used in vintage HP calculators.

At least it's truth in advertising. I guess Auschwitz.com or Dehomag.com must have been already taken.

A paid photo hosting service that bought out Flicker, which would otherwise have been shuttered.

Why not ban pens, after all, they are said to be mightier than swords?


Seconded, the original title ("We don't need more contributors who aren't programmers to contribute code") caricatured what seems like an eminently measured and sensible policy change.


Judges and the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, for instance.

They meant the lawsuit will take 20 years to adjudicate, by which point it will be completely irrelevant.


Enterprises that buy ThinkPads do care about maintainability and Lenovo does provide parts and detailed instructions to repair almost every aspect of their machines.


They most likely have contracts with them Lenovo and were former users of IBM.

I haven’t heard of any big company tyat repairs their own hardware in about 20 or so years.


I used to have a UniFi gateway for the nice traffic visualization but Ubiquiti lost my trust when they started running telemetry without consent and I’ve gone back to an OpenBSD’s box as router, thus this device does little for me.

I’m looking forward to the GL.Inet MUDI 7, their first 5G hotspot, which should be running an open-source and hackable OS unlike most hotspots:

I have a little WIFI-6 era GL.iNet travel router and it is fantastic, really like their software and hardware.

For both home and travel routers OpenWRT is far and away superior to Unifi gear. Usability, configurability, and especially security.


What makes them more so secure? Configurability I can see, usability maybe, as Ubiquiti is all about simplification and ease of use.


- open source and auditable

- support modern VPN protocols like WireGuard and Tailscale


Open source and auditable I can see.

Ubiquti does support wireguard natively. And you can get Tailscale running if you manually install the package through the SSH CLI.


Ubiquidropped all cloud requirements, but I am not sure what you are referring too here.


I haven't paid attention for a while, but this definitely hurt their brand massively: https://www.theregister.com/2019/11/07/ubiquiti_networks_pho...

Pretty sure that's what OP is referring to.


Exactly.


I’ve been waiting for one of these with built in eSIM support


This one has eSIM and dual physical SIM support.


I’m really struggling to understand the SIM side, the page talks about 5G while tethered to a phone?


I think these models can act as router while leveraging RNDIS tethering if you don't have a separate sim card...


Zero mention of anything other than WiFi on its tech specs page :-/

This is incorrect. No sim support here, and no cellular modem either :-)


I was talking about the https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-e5800/, it in fact does have eSIM and 2 physical SIM slots.
