Graphics bitmap data was in the ROM - it was copied directly to the TIA's graphics or playfield data registers line by line by the CPU. You still needed a counter to determine which byte in the ROM to copy over. You…
Please check out my startup, SmartHorn. We have integrated superintelligence technology into a "Smart Shoehorn" that will collect data and provide recommendations to footwear purchasers at the point of sale. Think of it…
You should have added "with AI" to your question. ReactOS and WINE have been around for a long time.
Windows still is, it's just x86 and ARM took over everything. Although I think ACPI/UEFI is hooked into Windows so deeply it's required on ARM, though. The ARM-based Surface laptop (the one that Steve Ballmer had to…
only if you want water, a coffee at certain times of the day, or a sauce with no other food.
When restaurant food was cheap, tipping wasn't a big deal, especially before the trend of paying for your food first at the counter. A $10 meal and a $2 tip for a waiter/waitress that took care of you - not really bad.…
There's nothing more "free market" than ads. Ads literally cost you no money (free), and you don't even have to buy the product they're advertising (freedom from market if desired). If I know I'm not going to buy the…
I don't block ads because stealing ad revenue from companies is unethical. These companies have workers who have families that they need to feed. They provide a service for free, so it's the least I can do. I watch…
Let's do it.
Both items in scope as far as I'm concerned. I'm fine with glasses and uncovered phone cameras in picture-taking position being treated the same way from a privacy violation standpoint. Maybe we can also do something…
Why not? Something that can do facial recognition + location tracking + keep and instantly transmit related digital records to a third party should be considered an invasion of privacy even if in public.
> You're using rhetoric to try and change the subject -- you're making a jump from "good value" to "lack of quality", and painting them with the same brush. Correct, I am. I apologize if I gave the impression I was…
You're free to ignore signals of cheapness if you want, as well as not care about quality. If you want generic restuarant food I guess you can go to McDonalds instead of a burger place; it's all the same value to you I…
"AI = low effort" is becoming a heuristic regardless of the assertion's absolute accuracy. It's probably not going to die soon as long as it keeps appearing in scammy or low-margin business places. AI-generated visuals…
You shouldn't be really scared until all devices follow the pattern of the iPhone (and maybe new flagship Android phones too, I'm not in that camp). New iPhones are expensive, more than $1000. Yet most people who get…
was this before mmap(2)?
L take. RAM is too slow for self-modifying code to be anywhere but F tier. This isn't 6502 land.
I recall joystick PEEKs being fine as long as you used port 2. Port 1 was muxed with the keyboard port and would type characters (2's and left arrows from what I remember).
Without copyright, artist B could perform artist A's original work without penalty. If artist B is better at astroturfing social media than A (maybe because they pay a firm to do it) , then B makes money and A does not.
It's fine. IPv4 addresses might get too expensive at some point, encouraging their deprecation. Or it's entirely possible having the option of IPv6 prevents IPv4 addresses from getting prohibitvely costly. Either way,…
Me. If I develop an OS and release it for free public use, I've provided a public good.
Firefox displays .json files decently if you ever need something in a pinch.
ASCII was created in the 1960s. That's around the time when the industry wasn't really sure if all files were just going to be a stream of bytes that were completely up to programs to interpret, or if it was the OS's…
Do you have a data cap? The cable provider near me charges you $10 for every 50GB over 1.25TB monthly. A while ago they offered an "unlimited" plan without that cap at a higher monthly rate. I've never heard of a fiber…
Get off the short bus twin. CPU backdoors do no good unless there is cooperation with network driver code or the CPU itself has full operating system with a full network stack. Intel's ME comes really close to that, but…
