It's GPS, what are you expecting the GPS system to provide you with that needs more bandwidth?

To be honest, I'm seeing this in other countries. I was an avid reader of fiction, philosophy and technology. Now days it's all on the internet, except fiction, which is on audible. Poor eyesight (I'm 60) pushed me in that direction.

I'm more sad about not writing as much as I did, with pen and paper.

Which is ridiculous because we Assembly coders know that C isn't even a real programming language.

I started my embedded software life doing 4 and 8 bit assembly coding. When I can across C in the 1980s, I considered it an "advanced macro assembler". Still writing in C today and loving it.

I also really love Python. I'm also an electronics engineer. I have more than one screwdriver in my lab :)

Curl really needs support, it is a very important tool for developers and pen testers

>An emacs clone ... done badly!

Like emacs?

I haven't seen that phrase here in years!

I would be very interested to hear what you use it for, and what the benefits are to you. ('Fun' is acceptable :)
