For 6502 fans, there's a new port of Clang and LLVM that seems to be doing some nice code generation. See https://llvm-mos.org/

It's worth noting this is from May 2021 and Roku had already patched the vulnerabilities before this article went public.

Taylor is just north of Round Rock, so part of the greater Austin area. It's pretty close to the current Samsung facility. I don't think this is East Texas jurisdiction.

I remember using lots of T classes back in the early 90s when I was building software using Turbo Vision, a text user-interface framework bundled with Borland C++ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Vision )

The east part of Austin where Tesla is located is still underpopulated compared to most of Travis county, so there's room for a lot of housing to be built out that way. Connectivity from there to central Austin isn't too bad, sin

FM audio on yoru phone usually relied on the headphone cable being used as an antenna to receive the FM signal. With the demise of wired headphones, especially for high-end phones, this is unlikely to be viable.

I've got a LimeSDR Mini. I mainly use it as an ATSC 1.0 signal generator from time to time for testing TV tuner code at work, and it does a good job, as long as I'm running it on a PC with a high-bandwidth USB 3.0 port. I'v

Atari shipped a final Rev C basic both in the ROMs for the XE computers and on cartridges for people that requested it. There were several derivations. The original authors of Atari Basic produced BASIC XL and BASIC XE on cartridge, each w

I'm surprised that there aren't more aliases: "take" didn't work, but "get" did, for example. Picking the right word from a description was odd, "get sharp sword" didn't work, but "get

Running it on Firefox with web inspector opened, I saw no network traffic at all after the page loaded, so it wasn't sending the network name or password anywhere off my device.

Roku TVs have had this from the start. When you first setup (or factory reset) the TV, you can choose to not connect it to a network. In that state, neither WiFi or Ethernet are routable, so no data leaves the TV. The TV does broadcast a

Alas, I wanted to try this out, but the format shenanigans triggered the Sophos "machine-learning"-based threat detection on my Windows laptop in mid-download.

The current ePub isn't put together right, so it just has headings for the pages and no actual content. You can find the docs in the archive as Markdown files.

We have teams at Roku releasing new firmware images for all of the smart TVs that have shipped on our platform, going back to the original "Liberty" models from 2014. It's a pain, especially with streaming services getting m

This is pretty amazing, especially considering that it's converting C code into WebAssembly, then converting that into BrightScript that can run as a Roku channel. It's certainly not fast, but great considering the workarounds ne

When you set up a Roku TV, you have the option to never connect to the Internet and use it as a dumb TV. In that mode, no WiFi or Ethernet connection is active and there's no connection to a Roku account. If you've already connec

It's the other way around. A few of Roku's early RF remotes used Bluetooth, but now they all are based on WiFi Direct.

During guided setup, it will scan for wireless networks, but one option is always "I do not want to connect" where the TV continues in unconnected mode.
