Sometimes. Coatings on drums and platters are subject to flaking off and other deterioration, particularly if they weren't stored in completely perfect conditions. Tiny bits of coating cause head crashes which destroy much bigger parts of the surface. Also, over time, the backer for the rust can deform, which also leads to head crashes. Core memories are fragile in their own way (tiny, brittle wires...), but my gut is they're a bit more resilient that iron oxide coating.
Yeah, I saw that via another forum. You should check out his G-15 restore; it's epic. That LGP-21 looks almost pristine, and based on the back story, they guy who originally had it sounds like the kind of guy who knows how to store vintage kit. That thing didn't come out of a barn someplace, so not surprising the coatings survived. :-)
Year, day, month in that order written all together? I have seen both day-month-year (12-09-2026) and year-month-day (2026-09-12), but _that_'s a new one.
The most used banners at least have a quick way of dismissing without opting in. When the cases against too obvious dark patterns started that fixed itself at least.
What fixed YouTube for me by disabling and removing all history. The only thing that works is the subscriptions tab and search. The only shorts I get are from subscriptions, so I'm through them in a few minutes and have to choose a real video.
Wondering about this. 10 years ago it was true but Brazil are a shadow of their former selves, and Argentina without the likes of Messi and Aguero aren't the same. I know they reached the final but Messi almost had the golden boot.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Africa surpass South America in the next decade
