I don't understand why the author insists on throwing cheap jabs at Apple by mixing them up with Meta's privacy violations. I think Apple's new privacy/integrity lists for apps is a commendable favor. The Google "

How is it "real crafty wordplay"? 16/32-bit is Motorola's own designation, and that's the width of the registers and the ISA's immediates. When programming the 68k you work directly with 32-bit longwords instea

Great article. Some petty nitpicking: > "Just use LHA format archives. It’s the standard compression tool on Amigas and even though there are modern (and technically better) alternatives ..." LZX had supplanted LHA already by

I came up with the same idea when I was 15 years old around the mid-90s, but for an entirely different purpose. I had an interest in electronics and analog synthesizers and I was trying to figure out a way to replicate the Commodore 64&#x27

A normal European debit card works everywhere. Cash-only establishments are uncommon. With that said I don't know how complicated the procedure is for a non-EU citizen to get a bank account (and with that a normal debit card) after mov

Sending it into the sun could be a solution for a lot of our waste. But I wonder if the energy we need to produce/spend to first launch all of it into our orbit won't create more problems than what we're trying to get rid of.

No, you can build pretty much everything from homebrew using just the command line developer tools. It's been like that for 7-8 years, if not more. Off the top of my head I've only once ever run into a homebrew recipe requiring &q
