The TEC-1G is an Open Source revamp of a 40 year old "trainer computer" based on a Z80 CPU, made and designed in Australia. It was the first computer I ever owned and built it as a teenager. Around the 40th anniversary, I revamped it and added a lot of features, and had a little group of people help me re-release it with a new Monitor (think OS).
It's been quite popular with sales all over the world and software and hardware still being designed and written for it.

Why did God create evil? The answer struck me to the core of my soul!
A professor at the university asked his students the following question:
Everything that exists was created by God?
One student bravely answered:
Yes, created by God.
Did God create everything? - a professor asked.
"Yes, sir," replied the student.
The professor asked:
If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.
The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said:
Can I ask you a question, professor?
"Of course," replied the professor.
A student got up and asked:
Professor, is cold a thing?
What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?
Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered:
Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist.
According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees
Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature.
Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.
A student continued:
Professor, does darkness exist?
ā Of course it exists.
You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness.
We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.
In the end, the young man asked the professor:
Sir. does evil exist?
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.
To this, the student answered:
Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and coldāa man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It's the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there's no light.
The student's name was Albert Einstein.

THE NATION IS ON FIRE.
We have a government that is completely out of control. This is worse than the dying days of Whitlam.
š„The Prime Minister has misled Parliament in a desperate attempt to cover up the corrupt up the $6 million Marrickville Golf Club affair.
š„The regime bullied Helen Haines by leaking a dirt sheet simply for speaking out against Albaneseās Marrickville Golf Club rort.
š„They appear to have attempted to bribe a One Nation MP by offering him an extra $200,000 per annum staffing allowance ā conduct that looks like a criminal offence under the Criminal Code.
š„Ministers, including the Attorney-General, have been caught red-handed rorting their travel allowances and were forced to pay the money back.
š„A clueless nincompoop in Chris Bowen is destroying our national electricity grid, driving power prices through the roof, and surrendering the competitive advantage Australia once held in low-cost energy. Businesses are shuttering shops across the country as a direct result.
š„The biggest infrastructure project in the nation, Snowy 2.0, is a national embarrassment of financial incompetence ā a giant money pit. The original $2 billion budget has blown out to between $40 and $50 billion, and it may still climb higher.
š„A disgraced former New Zealand Prime Minister is being rewarded with a āProfessorā title to farcically lecture on cohesion at the University of Sydney ā an institution that already receives more than $1.2 billion in taxpayer funding.
š„Meanwhile the economy is collapsing. Unemployment is rising. The government has lost control of inflation. Interest rates are set to rise again on Melbourne Cup day.
š„GDP per capita is going backwards. Homelessness is at record levels.
š„Productivity is in freefall. Productive businesses such as the Blayney Gold Mine are being blocked on fictitious grounds.
š„Millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent apologising for paedophiles while the same government passes new laws to censor free speech, claiming they are āprotecting the children.ā
š„Our military is under attack. They are persecuting Ben Roberts-Smith. They are trying to sell off Victoria Barracks. Our two largest naval vessels cannot put to sea. And they are planning to rewrite the War Memorial with exhibitions designed to shame Australians over the fact that Aboriginal societies were rescued from the Stone Age.
š„Dodgy Dan Andrews is pulling the Prime Ministerās strings, having him attend suspect meetings with dodgy Chinese billionaires who are in dispute with the tax office.
š„biological men are being given free rein to invade womenās and girlsā toilets and changerooms.
š„Crime is surging. Home invasions, carjackings and machete mayhem ā once foreign to Australia ā are now everyday events under this government.
š„Children are being so brainwashed by the Marxist infiltration of our education system that they planned to protest on Remembrance Day.
š„Unprecedented rates of mass migration are being deployed as a tool to import Labor voters, as more and more Australians are feeling like foreigners in their own land.

When governments increase or introduce new taxes, let's say by 10%, their goal is to bring in more income.
Their short sight brains don't really calculate how many people leave.
10% more tax, though lose 50% of the millionaire means they generate much less income.
Those millionaires are the ones employing the people who pay taxes.
Here is an example of the most retarded Australian tax...
Payroll Tax:
Let's say I employ 10 people and pay a total of $1,000,000 in salary.
Anything after $800,000 now has a payroll tax.
Effectively that business would have to pay an additional 6% or about $6,000 because they hired over that threshold.
Wait for it....
That $1,000,000 in salary is paid to Australians who pay income tax on that thereafter...
Taxes like this block businesses from employing Australians.
Why put another person on if I'll be taxed more?
This essentially pushes million / billionaires away from building businesses with more than 10 employees.
Another dumb tax.

Australians,
You are funding your own servitude.
More than half your wealth is stolen by the State.
The State then uses YOUR MONEY to control the media, restrict your speech, and build out an AI technocracy to monitor your every move (and hand out massive fines for non-compliance).
It's only going to get worse.
And you can't vote your way out of this.
There is no democratic solution - we're too far gone for that.
We imported too many new voters. And put too many citizens on the government payroll - there's no way they will vote against the gravy train, their own self-interest.
One Nation won't save you either. It's just another big State party leveraging discontent to gain power. If you think they'll destroy the surveillance state after you hand them the keys, you've got rocks in your head.
The way I see it, you only have 2 options.
The first is Revolution. But I don't see how you can do that. The State took your guns and everyone is too apathetic and scared anyway. They've done a good job of making sure Australians are timid and compliant. Good luck to anyone that tries.
The second option is Escape. That's what I chose. It's worked out well. Extremely well, in fact. I've disengaged from the perpetual doom that comes from being ruled over by slimy, serpentine communists. But even this isn't for everyone. There's not too many places to go, and Australia is so beautiful She deserves to be saved.
There's no easy solution.
So you're now stuck between a rock and a hard place. Under the crushing boot of authoritarianism that won't let up anytime soon.
Any anger that you feel is justified and good. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You're allow to be angry. Channel it into something productive (that worked for me).
This guy is not only a funny comedian, but he also does a great impersonation of our dumb leader, #Albosleazy.
To top it off, heās a Bitcoiner! He drops the hint in this skit about #Albo talking about YOUR super as a NATIONAL ASSET! š”

On 2 September we updated our terms. The main change: a $1/month inactivity fee on custodial balances that have had no activity for 12 consecutive months.

You know if there was no backlash, they would most certainly implement it! š

"The social contract is broken. No French citizen should be forced to pay taxes anymore to a state that doesn't want to protect them."
Spot on. At its most basic level, the only thing the state is actually supposed to do is protect its citizens from internal and external threats. We can argue whether that thing should be called "The State" if it's just a security service, but the bottom line is that even an anarcho-capitalist utopia will need some form of security.
And there is no point for "The State" to even exist if it doesn't protect its citizens, from criminals, invaders, etc.
Therefore, paying taxes to the state is no longer legitimate. Starve the beast until it starts doing its job.
The store was looted for more than one hour by a migrant gang. Everywhere in France, migrant gangs are roaming the cities completely unhindered.
They are breaking into private homes and stores as they desire. The police and army are sitting it out and completely letting the French population down.
The social contract is broken. No French citizen should be forced to pay taxes anymore to a state that doesn't want to protect them.
Also, those Taxes are directly flowing into the ghettos to feed those thugs and finance their high fertility rates.

What we know:
1. She's a member of the French left-wing party and an activist, one of the biggest advocates for opening up migration to North African peoples.
2. She owns a small chic boutique in an upscale spot, she stood in her shop trying to save it from looting and theft telling them that she's a famous activist.
3. She told them I'm so-and-so, the activist for asylum, I'm with you, I've defended you and your entry and stay in France, they spat on her, knocked her down, and trampled her with their feet, good thing she's still alive.
4. And they looted the whole shop, losing all the struggle and work of her lifetime in a moment. Standing there stunned, not believing that these thieving, rabble-rousing, criminal, barbaric hordes are the ones she's spent her whole life defending, and advocating for them to invade her country and destroy it

Did you know in 2014, Ukraine needed a loan?
There were two offers on the table:
š“ The IMF dangled $15 billion,but with strings attached:
-Scrap the ban on private land ownership.
-Slash pensions and fuel subsidies,classic austerity.
š“ Russia also offered $15 billion.
No strings, no neoliberal gutting of the economy.
President Yanukovych picked the Russian deal.
So what happened?
Washington backed a coup, ousted him, and installed a new puppet regime.
Then the new government bent the knee to the IMF.
Signed off on austerity program and opened the door to privatization.
Now, massive chunks of Ukrainian land,about a third, are in the hands of foreign giants like BlackRock.
I can concur. It truly is amazing. The website it is making for me would have cost me MONTHS of design to-and-fro and I canāt guess at how many thousands of dollars it would have cost me. AND itās quite intuitive in terms of what I want. Very impressive.
My thoughts on XBT.
> Or maybe he's mad because he kept all his Bitcoin on an exchange and got rugged of his XBT
This is actually an issue I have with how XBT came about. I get why XBT happened, and I agree with Mechanic and all, that BTC is captured and will never separate Money from State nor will it become MoE. So we did (do) have to Fire the Miners.
But the problem is that it happened in such a knee jerk, unplanned, rushed way that did not give everyone, @saifedean included if you are right, time to prepare for the fork.
And look at the timing of the ColdCard hack. Do you really think it happening just a week before the fork was a coincidence? How many coins get rush-swept into exchanges? How much XBT will NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY because the controlled exchanges had so much tied up BTC?
And then there is the utter lack of any professionality in the XBT community when it comes to any skerick of marketing ability. Having the likes of Luke and Chris as the spokesmen for the project?! Those guys are certified geniusesā¦ in coding. On a social front, they are retarded autistics. And their marketing prowess amounts to blocking people and calling them evil. Thatās it. They make the community smaller, not increase adoption. Even the word āmarketingā is sneered at by any but the most savvy of plebs in Discord.
Couple this with what I consider a premature fork, before the code was actually ready to deal with the main problem in BTC (miner centralisation) that needs to be fixed IN CODE, not by stern words or wishful thinking. And extending the coinbase lock to a year is utterly retarded for every mining aspect you can think of. Electricity costs money. And sometimes you have to pay the bills. AND you have killed off supply for a year. That seems like a cynical way to boost the price but thatās just the cynic in me talking.
I support the idea of XBT and actually wish it well. Thankfully my BTC stack was in self custody so I have my stack of XBT that I hope becomes something. But my gut feel is that it wonāt. Because it was born prematurely. Like about 4 months too early to parents that are socially retarded. Good luck with that.

Here's list I compiled of reasons why any sane Bitcoiner would never own an EV, Unless the goal is to be a Cuck too.
- Remote dependency: A car that needs a server to act normal isnāt a car, itās a leash with tires.
- App control: When your phone is the key, the cloud is the master.
- Remote lock/start: Convenience is the bait; control is the hook.
- Location tracking: Your vehicle shouldnāt report coordinates like a parole monitor with cupholders.
- Software features: If an app controls windows, climate, tailgate, charging, lights, and ride height, you rent permissions.
- Speed Limit Mode: Once a vehicle can be software-limited, the question becomes: who gets the button next?
- OTA updates: You bought one car, but tomorrow the mothership can install a different one.
- Feature paywalls: Hardware you paid for should never beg a corporation for permission to function.
- Subscription creep: They sell you the car once, then sell you pieces of it forever like digital crack dealers.
- Account lockout: Lose the account, lose the kingdom, cloud feudalism on wheels.
- Telemetry: A real car hauls ppl; this thing hauls your data back to the plantation.
- Driving tracking: Hard braking, speed, routes, habits, your vehicle becomes a stainless steel snitch.
- Insurance weaponization: The car rats, the insurer smiles, and your premium gets Skull-Fucked.
- Government access: Once the data exists, the subpoena machine starts licking its chops.
- Sensitive location exposure: Your car should not know enough to build a prosecution map.
- Hackable surface: Cellular, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, APIs, apps, cloud, every āsmartā feature is another door.
- Brick-by-bug: Mechanical cars break from worn parts; software cars break because an update sneezed wrong.
- Cloud outage risk: If the network dies and your car gets stupid, it was never sovereign.
- Right-to-repair squeeze: You own the metal, but they own the spell required to fix it.
- Service lock-in: When only the manufacturer can bless the repair, youāre not a customer, YOU ARE livestock.
- Parts pairing: A bolt-on part needing software approval is tyranny wearing a torque wrench.
- Resale friction: Selling a car should require title and keys, not sacrifice to cloud gods.
- Digital transfer: When ownership needs server approval, property rights get kneecapped.
- Policy risk: Terms of service should never touch your steering wheel.
- Acceptable-use creep: Today itās app rules; tomorrow itās āyour mobility privileges are under review.ā
- Behavior nudging: They donāt have to force you when software can herd you like cattle.
- Navigation influence: The map isnāt neutral when the company controls the rails.
- Charging dependence: If mobility depends on approved networks, freedom has a plug in its neck.
- Dead-zone weakness: A real machine gets mean off-grid; a cloud car gets confused.
- Remote diagnostics: Diagnostics are fine, until ācheckingā becomes ācontrolling.ā
- Remote service commands: Anything powerful enough to fix you remotely can restrict you remotely.
- Recall-by-software: They fix bugs over the air, and rewrite ownership without touching the driveway.
- Feature removal: If a feature can be activated remotely, it can be revoked remotely. Rental cosplay.
- Privacy decay: The more connected the car gets, the more your private life becomes a corporate spreadsheet.
- Centralized control: One company, one account, one cloud, one kill-switch-shaped architecture. What could go wrong?
- Precedent risk: The danger isnāt what they admit today, itās what the architecture allows tomorrow.
- Dystopian core: It looks like the future but operates like a locked iPad.
EVs are sold as the future but built like a rolling terms-of-service agreement.
NO TY. FUUUUUUUCK ALL THAT. š¤£
