Other than Virtua Racer, I don't think any Sega cartridges of that era had extra processing circuitry. There were some with extra control-pad ports, and I think one with a modem. Of course, you could count the 32X & MegaCD as a lar

Yes. I wrote about it at https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/11/what-would-happen-if-comput... Look at early games on the Sega Megadrive / Genesis compared to the ones released towards the end of its run. As w

FWIW, I do now have a copy. I'm unsure of the copyright status so I'm a bit reluctant to share it.

You are allowed to buy knives in the UK. You're allowed to own them. You can even take them out in public. I do it regularly. What you cannot do is illegally carry a weapon. It's documented at https://www.gov.uk/

If you use `<i lang="la">sic transit gloria mundi</la>` then your screen reader should read the text in a Latin accent rather than munging whatever your default language is. As for the rest, they look the same

Yes - another bit that I worked on (albeit tangentially). The QR code stuff was an interesting one. There was a worry that people would generate fraudulent codes - hence the weird (in my opinion) signing requirements. Similarly, with a URl

Hello. I worked on that app. You are wrong. Firstly, "Track and Trace" is what the Post Office do. Perhaps you're thinking of "Test and Trace"? Secondly, the UK Government hasn't had app development skills in-h

As someone battling with Auth0's various broken integrations this sounds great. Any idea how easy it is to use with PGP / Symfony? Also, cheeky wishlist request, any support for Mastodon logins?

Because people tend to have fallible memories whereas GPS is reasonably accurate. If you've walked a costal path and taken a dozen photos, are you really going to remember where each one was? Every phone for the last decade has geotagg

Because - and I cannot stress this enough - they are both ignorant and greedy. Whenever I've traced back an AI bot scraping my sites, I've tried to enter into a dialogue with them. I've offered API access and data dumps. But

DNS can contain all sorts of records that, at some point, someone thought was worth standardising. In this case, I assume it used to be so common for a sub-domain to refer to a single physical box that there was utility in knowing exactly w

To be fair, we are a UK based site - and most of my friends are in the UK. But, yeah, even in other Anglophone countries I've visited there haven't been as many memorial benches.
