I don't recall 2s latency, but do remember 0.25-0.3s latency one way for transatlantic phone calls in the 90s, which happens when the call got related over geostationary satellites rather than over Atlantic cables. It was basically a 0.5-0.6s roundtrip delay enough to cause you to talk over each other.

It only happened when there were too many callers at the same time. The solution was often to redial and hoping you ended up with a non-satellite call.

Agree - I read this as it will be easy to replace the battery when it reaches its end of life and no longer can hold my charge. It will still take time to replace it, but that's okay since it'll only be done once every few years. It's not meant to re-introduce swappable battery packs, so you won't be able to carry spares on long trips etc.

The copyright holder can set whatever license they want, including writing their own.

In this case, I'd interpret it as they made up a new licence based on MIT, but their addendum makes it non-MIT, but something else. I agree with what others said; this "new" license has internal conflicts.

It's humbling to know that the RAM of computers like ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 would fit in a single IP packet. It took minutes to load that "paket" from cassette tape.

Another way to donate is to proof read documentation and report on typos, spelling errors, etc. Some projects have documentation in multiple languages - helping out in a language you know is another excellent way to contribute.

Many projects have great communities, making it all fun and engaging.

Seems like a technical problem that could be solved, if they want to

WISH: Don't pad the hours with zero when using the 12-hour time format, e.g. '7:15:03 AM' instead of '07:15:03 AM'. The padding with zero is used in the 24-hour format, e.g. '07:15:03'.

I remember connecting a VHS video camera directly to a cathode-ray tube (CRT) teve to produce funky patterns back in the 80's.

You did it in a pitch dark room, aimed the camera towards the teve, and have someone briefly light a lighter in between. That generated a visual feedback loop.

By rotating the camera upside down, the feedback loop would introduce systematic effects, because the camera's vertical scan is now opposite to the teve's swipe. It would create random, constantly changing, colorful, spiraling patterns.

You could move your hands in front to adjust the patterns and control the brightness that could increase due to the feedback loop.

Stunning, cool, and fun.
