During covid I wanted to enable the local arcade in Amsterdam (Blast Galaxy) to stream their old boards to subscribing internet users for internet play, however I consulted with one of the leading IP lawyers in the city & was told basic

HP32SII got me through physics & maths II exams without all the tedious memorisation. It looked innocuous enough - certainly not programmable to the extent it actually was... a godsend for high-school.

This is called an evil portal, it's super simple to do - Flipper has inbuilt functionality for this. It's super simple, broadcast an SSID with "Amazon Free Wifi" - when the user connects serve up a simple login page with

having failed to learn objective-c back in the day from their intro book... now I realise that I don't have a degree in astrophysics from Cal; there is a distinct possibility that I may be stupid. :-)

Would be cool to have a "don't scan me bro" list of IP's that engage in this that we could share - is there such a thing?

Socratic questioning is quite amazing, I created my own prompting for this and found it to be invaluable in exploring my beliefs.

I'm impressed that Microsoft seems to be listening to the tech community - now if only they would address telemetry I'm back in!

The most impressive thing to me was the inbuilt BBC Basic, and the availability of every system function to basic with SWI calls. This contrasts with languages like GW Basic or even commercial QuickBasic (QBX) or Visual Basic: second clas

I completely agree - free and easy digital signing would be excellent. Doubly so if there was a way that I could identify myself to the government and receive some kind of hash that could be verified by the OS maker without exposing my iden

It's a shame really. I find the big software world so strange now, back in the day companies were really concerned with keeping their user base happy - I wonder why things have gotten to the point where this no longer seems to hold tru

I suppose I'm talking about how they continue to lock-down the os, in combination with their App-store. For example, hooking into the kernel is now very difficult - apps like Little Snitch running on Sonoma have a much harder job. Ap

It's a pity Microsoft is taking this direction, it's almost like they are completely abandoning their old user base. I feel that they should be doing the opposite of what Apple is doing - remove telemetry and ads, perhaps charge f

I was making crazy money in the dot-com boom and bought a SGI 540 in 1999 (with an SGI monitor). With money to burn SGI was a childhood brand, legends in 3D. Such wonderful memories. 15k on a desktop setup - it was loose change, however it

Love your games as well! Have you considered packaging them for Steam and pricing at less than 5 dollars? (i.e. a single pack of all your NES games) - if you promote to a few YouTube retro influencers you might make a few sales. :-)
