Yup, one of the first online services to do online advertising.

CapitaOne360 is formerly ING and formerly Netbank.
Don't ask me how I know.
The FDIC saved their customers' funds.
Yep, and they and IBM created Prodigy!
Interesting times.
If you read the announcement you'd know that they contacted the affected customers.
Since we're talking about satellite-delivered data, I subscribed to a USENET PageSat leaf node to get NNTP news via satellite for a while.
Unfortunately, PageSat isn't notable enough to warrant its own Wikipedia article. It was a Ku-band satellite dish and receiver that received broadcasted USENET NNTP data back when USENET was a thing in the early 1990s.
I wish we had some GameLine images for the Atari 2600 anymore.
I finally saw a real GameLine cartridge when I was working at AOL. It was more nostalgic than anything else to see the old cartridge with memory and a modem.
There was another one for Intellivision called PlayCable that used a cable-TV connection to download games.
I use Backblaze B2 with S3 compatibility as a secondary backup provider because of facts like this.
I don't want my data backed up onto "shucked" consumer USB hard drives, so I use another provider for my primary backup and use Backblaze B2 S3 as secondary as a rule.
I wouldn't recommend Backblaze as a primary online backup for any reason. Part of the reason is that we had to *beg* Backblaze to add S3 compatibility to their platform and it took them almost three years to agree, and then posted a later blog article saying it was the most profitable move they ever did.
Ada is also used in many mission- and safety-critical applications such as the French TGV and the NYC Subway.
HD Radio on most AM stations happened well over a decade earlier than 2020. What eventually happened is that the stations now turn off HD Radio after dark because the "AM skip" effect corrupts the digital signal making it unlistenable.
To add insult to injury, most AM broadcasters also turn off their HD Radio signal when broadcasting live sports because of the minimum 20-second delay inherent to HD Radio. It turns out people still listen to baseball games on the radio when in the stadium.
This is the real problem.
FCC type certification should apply to EVs just like they to do televisions and computers.
In my top-10 market, every top-rated AM station moved to FM years ago. Some of them have been on FM for twenty years now. The top-rated sports talk station (previously "guy talk") has always been FM since the 1990s.
Most of the rest of the AM stations have low-powered FM translators for the fringe parts of their coverage contours.
Interestingly, we also have an experimental, all-digital HD Radio station on AM--the only one in the country.
Why don't they use pumps instead of gravity to lift and lower the water level (and thus the vessels)?
It's always been a massive water consumer.
Alternatively and far more likely: The CEO was lying to defend their terrible ink DRM practices that can brick the item you own.
Sounds likely. The chips on these printer cartridges are only slightly more sophisticated than the Nintendo Entertainment System's 10NES lock-out chip.
Nobody's loading a malware payload on these things.
I can concur.
My Brother printer finally wore out after 20+ years. It turns out the rubber on the paper take-up wheel just kinda disintegrates.
I replaced it with the MFCL2750DW and it's amazing. Brother makes very good multi-function duplex printer/scanner/copier devices with honest toner reports.
The drum, of course, can only be measured with a counter.
That's right. A common hack with Brother toner is to cover the hole in the cartridge that the optical sensor uses to detect when toner is low.
In practice it only yields a couple hundred extra pages, but at least Brother is being honest.
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
