It was really awesome to have the remnants of Beryl come up here to the mitten, and to say that we were a part of such a record-breaking hurricane. I learned to drive in 2010, but other than the dad and I going out to Newburgh NY to meet Irene in 2011, this was my first opportunity to drive through a tropical system or its remnants. Beryl’s remnants came in mostly overnight that Tuesday night, and I spent all night driving in it.
@@triplectwcI just want to put in my two cents. I don't intend to come off as aggressive or hostile, just assertive. This reply just rubbed me a certain way that I feel something needs to be said about preservation. The contents of its non-volatile storage, including its root partition, firmware, EEPROMs, and technical specifications are quite valuable. Hell, the output of "uname -a" is worth something. FreeBSD I'm guessing. What version? What kernel modules are loaded? What does its dmesg output look like after booting? What is the output of what ever the FreeBSD equivalent to lspci is? Its basic filesystem hierarchy? Its partitioning scheme? Data buses? There's technical people with a passion for preserving old hardware that will eventually be permanently lost to bitrot and time. Don't take this personally, but keeping it all to yourself due to legal or ethical considerations is not sustainable. I hope you've at least made a full disk clone/backup using the dd command, as that unit will succumb to age. It is *not* impossible to retrofit, or literally port the software, even if in binary machine code, to modern hardware, if it relies on proprietary hardware that will eventually die. The core logic and presentation of the unit's software can be considered logically separate from its interaction with the hardware. Also of significant note are the utility of FPGAs for reimplementing the real hardware at the circuit level. I'm saying this from a perspective of passion to preserve a significant artifact of my childhood while it still physically exists, just like console emulators. And sometimes you gotta bend and break the rules for that, and there's ways to get the ball rolling anonymously. Take this as a hint hint nudge nudge that someone might be interested in taking a crack at such a feat but lacks the resources to do so.

I love the 1998-2006 mostly cloudy night icon.
amazing work, Triple C!
Storm alert music always a welcome sight
Good video i miss them icons
nice
what is the emulator name, im interested!
@@TheOFFICIALKingsIslanderALT this is a legit IntelliStar
@@triplectwc i mean how do you obtain it?? I do have the WS4000 by taiganet
@@TheOFFICIALKingsIslanderALT you just have to be lucky enough to find something on a website like eBay, it’s very uncommon now
