Yeah, Ian's cards are the ones I was thinking of. There's an APMSX available on eBay, it introduced me to MSX gaming (and some colecovision and SG1000 conversions).

Worth mentioning, you can buy small-run, newly-manufactured Apple II Z80 cards now in the 16-20MHz range (way faster than the host system), some even have a TMS9918 VDP chip for compatibility with MSX-1/Colecovision/SG1000 stuff.

Maybe possible? But generally in that case when there was no fraud, you just get a bankruptcy-resistant lien that follows you to your grave, and whatever enforcement actions accompany liens. Generally again, absent fraud, they'll work

The NBA is selling rare pepes now? Yeah that's a pretty clear sign of a bubble about to burst.

Agree except interview even more often, as soon as minor issues emerge. Interview a few times a year for no reason whatsoever. Interview because you're tired of the way the boss' tie looks, or because maybe you'll get another

Nice work! I work at [large Utah-based behemoth that sells a full range of connected exercise equipment] and enjoy their interactive rower models. It's always great to see people bring new stuff to market that makes rowing fun, because

PCS and Racing Destruction Set were beyond huge on the Atari 8bits. I never heard of Lode Runner until after the 8-bit scene began to wane and I got into the Apple IIgs (which of course promptly waned as well).

Over time, regulatory bodies become populated by 'retirees' from upper management and directorship of the subject they once regulated. The google-able term for this is 'Regulatory Capture'.

The forensic and rescue applications of this are encouraging; Finding a body or lost person in a forest currently takes an insane amount of humans and effort. If a drone-swarm could produce video or imagery that can be reviewed by a crowd o

Can't believe you're being downvoted for this, it appears to be an objective truth. Both major American parties would be considered (at the very least) conservative in most other countries. Instead, we're guaranteed, year aft

Yup, the built-in graphics RAM was 1MHz as well; It couldn't redraw its entire screen inside a single refresh (although by remapping the 65816 stack to screen RAM, it got close enough to do most of it). The integrated disk controller (

Begging pardon, 1986, two years after the Mac. It also beat the Mac to market with a color GUI and ADB keyboards and mice. But yup, hardware-wise it was kneecapped from the start (1MHz IO bus, 65816 cpu would never rival m68k, low cpu clock

This sounds so much like something that I'd do, that I had to stop and think about my personal hall-of-fame screwups to make sure that wasn't one of them.

Excellent reading this; My Pi4/8GB cluster uses a 1000bT PoE hub for a backplane, and / is an nfsroot from a node running a Sandisk UASP USB3 SSD. Like the author, I'm blown away by the fun to be had with Docker and Kubernete
