Yeah, too bad the graphics modes of C64 were "text modes" of a couple different character sizes and a redefinable 8-bit charset. Colors were from a fixed, but carefully designed 16-color palette on the VIC-II chip itself. Due to t

There has been an attempt at having them remanufactured, but the guy running the show isn't communicative and has had a lot of technical set-backs on the project. They're not dual-shot either, so more like the newer C64C model key

No, not for that. Its sound characteristics are from the physical layout of the chip and the individual differences from manufacturing is more notable on old revisions of 6581 than newer ones. 8580 models sound more or less identical to eac

None of those digitized things really are what the SID is about though, nor do they show it off for what it really is; a synthesizer for playing 3-channel tunes like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wbwKdV89pE For di

Personally, since I'm less interested in MS-DOS modes and fixed-length 8bit charset modes, I switched to the redesigned NetHack 4, which works fine with modern UTF-8 terminals. NetHack 4 is geared towards progression of the game and st

Tesla could still benefit greatly from WW3, and so could SpaceX. The tricky thing about future is that nothing's certain.

I hadn't used Firefox for anything practical in years except testing things of my own for compatibility. Now I launched it from a clean state, installed that extension and logged into Facebook... and it is still slow as molasses. It fe

Basically all of the 50cc mopeds had to be artificially crippled to keep them under legal speed limits for them (typically 40-50km/h depending on country). Remove the cripple and they'll all go 70-80km/h or more. This isn&#x2

It's not even by Intel; it's by AMD and they did nothing to prevent Intel from using it.

I bought the first iPhone a couple of months after release, which was in August or September 2007. The first jailbreak allowing your own software to be run on one was the reason I got one. I and everyone I showed it to were blown away by wh

I was referring to this new study of faster than previously thought rate, but it speaks nothing of volumes, just ice retraction speed. I think they'll post something with updated melt rate by volume at some point once they've calc

It's been around, but not quoted as often as the 8m of Greenland. The reason is that earlier they didn't think Antarctica would have considerable amounts of melt in a short (100-200 years) timeframe, but now it seems it's mel

They also learned from their first architecture shifts, which didn't go all that well. Apple II to Apple III flopped early. Apple II to Lisa was nonexistent. Apple II to Mac could've been a 1984 to 1985 thing if executed well, but

You can still have VMs for 32bit games, and if there's a big demand for them, bet on someone creating a gaming-oriented VM.

I actually expect Apple to implement some "emulator-acceleration instructions" into their own chips and get excellent (almost as good, as good or better) performance once they switch, as always, because otherwise people just won&#

What's worse is that they had already been transitioning to 64bit hardware with the PowerMac G5 and iMac G5 models since 2003. Anyhow, I doubt they'd have had time to make a solid 64bit x86_64 SDK even if they had delayed the hard

He probably refretted the answer, because it's like he didn't even read the question before answering with some boilerplate answer, which is probably why the question got rated so high after the answer. I do. But I was jailed in

This is more like if Ubuntu's package repository went down regarding accepting new packages for a few days.
