Also PCem, which is has a faster dynamic recompiler and supports a few more hardware configs afaik. But hasn't been updated in a couple of years. There's also UniPCem, which I think is a fork/port of PCem, and more recently u

The UK will be retaining a 99 year lease on Diego Garcia, so I imagine .io can still be referring to that for another hundred years or so; in a similar way to how .hk still exists, and existed at all.

The ez80 is nice, but it's not 'orders of magnitude' more powerful than a regular z80, especially clocked at 20Mhz (the CMOS Z80C was available up to 20MHz). (The ez80 is capable of 50MHz, I'm not entirely sure why they

Honestly surprised that they'd remove ads from a printout rather than replace them with their own sponsored content.

Predicting it well enough for real world uses is a myth/delusion, yes, but predicting it well enough for entertainment purposes in a flight simulator is an entirely different, and much more mistake-tolerant, proposition.

The biggest part of MSFS 2024 is the 'career system' - ie proc. gen missions, I'm surprised you missed it.

That assumes that software tools will start increasing in quality at some point. Reality suggests the opposite is more likely to happen, and people will look back on tools today as 'things were better back then'.
