Slovenian / Slavic technology thread?
>>107023403Vodka.
>>107023403Ports?
>>107023517We are able to build a new port in only 5 years (Italians stole the old one), so that proves that Slavic ingenuity and efficiency can be comparable to the Chinese

why do slovenians not want to be called slov and why flip the a from o in slav? politics?
>>107024242All Slovenians are Slavic, but not all Slavs are Slovenian. That's probably not even remotely true either, but you get the idea, hopefully.

>Zoran Modli: The Serbian Pilot Who Broadcasted Software Over Radio Waves>1983, Belgrade. Radio Belgrade.>Zoran Modli did something most people thought was impossible.>He started broadcasting computer programs over FM radio.>Not instructions. Not tutorials. Actual software.>People would sit by their radios with ZX Spectrums and Commodore 64s, press record on a cassette player, and capture the audio data streaming through the airwaves.>Then they'd load it into their computers. And it worked.>Before app stores. Before the internet. Before digital downloads existed.>Modli turned radio frequencies into a distribution network for software.>His show, Ventilator 202, became one of the first digital delivery platforms in the world. Thousands of people in Yugoslavia accessed games, programs, and tools this way.>He was a professional pilot for JAT Yugoslav Airlines by day. A tech visionary by night.>Most tech pioneers get recognized posthumously. Modli passed away in 2020, largely unknown outside the region.>But his innovation predicted the future - streaming data through broadcast networks, democratizing access to technology, making digital distribution possible.>Sometimes the most important innovations happen in unexpected places.>And sometimes they're led by pilots who see technology differently.
>>107027200How the hell did that work? Wouldn't radio interruptions flip many bits in the code?
>>107027223The signal bandwidth was narrow and redundant - the encoding used simple tones that could tolerate minor distortion. FM radio had a high signal-to-noise ratio, so in most urban areas it was clear enough. Many programs included checksums or headers, so if something failed, you’d just re-record during a rebroadcast. And Radio 202 often aired the same file several times to ensure everyone could get a clean copy.
