And actually, INT 13h is the BIOS interrupt to access block-based disk I/O functions (like sector read, track format, etc.). The INT used for mode-setting is 10h (with AH=00h and AL=13h as mode for 320x200 at 256 colors).

Would be cool, but it's very very hard to get such a memorable IP. And it costs a lot of money. Those who own such IPs wont give them away so easily. So unless you get a donation of such an IP address (actually more a block of IPs, lik

Is there an option to disable the table mode (or at least horizontal lines, don't care about the others)? It's a lot of wasted space in the terminal if you have lots of connections open.

Yes that's the point: many of our work PCs have global public IPs from something like 128.130.0.0/15 (not this actual block, but something similar), and many internal services are on 10.0.0.0/8. I'm not sure I get exactl

I first thought it was some kind of extrapolation like... at the rate features are currently being added, Markdown will land in ~2032 with iOS 26... just noticed about the new version numbering, I missed that news!

The computer I use at work (and not only mine, many many of them) has a public IP address. Many internal services are on 10.0.0.0/8. How is this being taken into account?

You mean because you can access the same kind of attention-damaging content from the computer?

Well, maybe that also needs to change. Try to check how much time you need to spend to solve something with chatting, vs. how much it takes with a phone call. In many cases the call is 10 times quicker, and it's a more natural interact

Why do you even need a number on the smartphone? It can just work over wifi without SIM card. When you need an SMS to activate an app, you receive it on the dumbphone and type in the auth code on the "smart" one.

My bank requires it too. Except that if you call the customer service and tell them that well, you have no smartphone, then they switch you to SMS auth for that.

Actually it does give some. I'm using old ham radio software like CT9 under Windows 64-bits using DOSBox-X, with the parallel port configured in pass-through mode. DOSBox-X supplies a specific driver for this kind of direct hardware ac

Here I'd rather ask, why Lieferando is not sue-able? What they did is not just unethical, it's plain illegal.

Personally, I don't either. But if you're a business, you probably need to care even if you don't want to.

Nice, didn't know this one! This combined with a PIC10 without watchdog timer might also be an interesting combination to do more complex things. Or perhaps simply a TPL5110 with a ultra-low-power flip-flop (does it even exist?) used a

Half-related question: the chip on the board looks like an STM32 microcontroller, wouldn't a 6-pin 8-bit PIC10 or similar µC be sufficient and cheaper for the purpose? And possibly use less power, a PIC10F322 in sleep mode with the wat
