@Colin'tHart I can't see it

12:00 PM

@McNets It's just a copy of the help pop-up low-rep people see when starting to write an answer:

It happens now and again. I don't know why people do it. Perhaps they think it's funny.

@PaulWhite Then I am not able to see the whole reviews history?

@McNets Possibly not. I forget what people below 10k see there.

@PaulWhite Ok

Oh, hang on, you do have 10k+. You ought to be able to see the whole text?

Share a screenshot of what you see?

12:18 PM

That's all there is to see.

What makes you think there ought to be more?

Gotta love Russian tech. TIL Soyuz was using analogue guidance systems until about 2010.

Soyuz (rocket family)

Soyuz (Russian: Союз, meaning "union", GRAU index 11A511) is a family of expendable launch systems developed by OKB-1 and manufactured by Progress Rocket Space Centre in Samara, Russia. With over 1700 flights since its debut in 1966, the Soyuz is the most frequently used launch vehicle in the world.When the U.S. Space Shuttle program ended in 2011, Soyuz rockets became the only launch vehicles able to transport astronauts to the International Space Station. The Soyuz vehicles are used as the launcher for the crewed Soyuz spacecraft as part of the Soyuz program, as well as to launch uncrewed Progress...

> Despite its age and perhaps thanks to its simplicity, this rocket family has been notable for its low cost and high reliability.

Never trust a computer!

Honestly it scares me a little that one day the world will be run by, and on, systems engineered by the current generation of design and development principles.

Yes. I remember when telephones worked and had 99.999% reliability. Now I sometimes have to re-start my phone to get audio on a phone call. Carrier-grade my arse.

There is quite a lot to be said for simplicity. Most safety-critical software is written in C for a good reason.

My generation remembers being able to service one's own car as well.

@PaulWhite There are still outfits that sell refurbished Fisher and Paykell 380 washing machines.

These days, as soon as it stops working for whatever reason, you're supposed to throw it in the ground/sea and buy a new one.

Progress.

Also: remove your personage from my lawn.

Vacuum cleaner on cocaine

I would like to see right-to-repair become a principle in law across the developed world.

I've seen Chinese plastic twin-tub washing machines selling in Indonesia for about £80.

In practice, I think the way to get appliances is to buy from catering suppliers. The professional ones are designed to be used hard and repaired, but you do pay for the privilege. Something I really liked about my old XW9300s was that they were easy to get and and repair. If you have a look at Nisbets (here in the UK) you can get kitchen appliances intended for use in commercial kitchens. I imagine there are outfits down under that flog that sort of kit as well.

All of the cleaners here use Henry vacuum cleaners. They work really well (just bought one because our old one didn't suck).

Apparently the design is as old as I am.

@ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells Makes sense. We have a Zanussi condensing tumble dryer that's, what, 20 years old or more. Still as good as new, never needed repair. F & P front loader with digital display? Display stopped working 1 month after warranty ran out.

Planned obsolescence no doubt.

There has to be some way to declare war on AU and brutally slay all members of that site.

Comments. Ugh!

How can people that use the most simplified and watered-down distribution be the most pretentious users on the network?

Presumably they had to work hard at it.

ahhahaha
