Your best bet is probably iCab, which had its last OS 9 release in 2008. Still pretty old, but you’ll at least have some relatively modern support for stuff like CSS. I used it on OS 9 at the time and it worked pretty well then.

Cool! Tell AI I’d like eggs over medium with hash browns, bacon, and an English muffin. I’ll just be waiting here for AI to take care of that.

Why didn’t Intel call the Pentium the 586? Because they added 486+100 on the first one they made and got 585.999999987.

The system has no way of knowing who you are. It can’t tell if you’re really you, or just someone who walked by and started using your computer while you got up to go to the bathroom. If you really think the threat model is outdated, why no

It’s exceedingly rare, though. There’s a big difference between accidentally falling to notice a move that is illegal in a complicated situation, and playing a move that may or may not be illegal just because it sounds kinda “chessy”, which

I’ve been to many USCF rated tournaments and have never once seen or even heard of anyone over the age of 8 try to play an illegal move. It may happen every now and then, but it’s exceedingly rare. LLMs, on the other hand, will gladly play

Under certain circumstances, like where machines are not directly accessible to each other and you’re only able to connect by Remote Desktop or something, that’s not actually bad way to do that. But for machines that are on the same network
