Hmmm. Write Z80 first, then port to 6502? Write 6502 first, then port to Z80? Write 68000 first, then port to both Z80 and 6502? Write a bytecode interpreter on both 6502 and Z80 and then code to that bytecode?

I guess I'm looking for an excuse to think about writing code instead of, you know, actually writing code.

@jbqueru write 6309 first!

did you know that the default Windows 10 desktop background is a photo, not a digital effect?

it's a Kvant Spectrum laser projector with Saturn 9000 scanners beaming light into a sheet of transparent acrylic with black cardboard masks.

there's even a short video showing an animated show variant of it here: https://www.precisionlasers.com/projects/windows10

I’m starting to think that Sales loves acronyms not to tighten up their communications but to obfuscate their ignorance of what they’re talking about.

@johnlogic @Binder the mil is the inch-micrometer for me, 25.4 um.

Quite surprised it's not 1/1024 inch tbh, with the habit of fractional inches.

i recently got a new toy! it's a (civilian) miniature drone helicopter directly inspired by the (military) flir black hornet drone helicopter

it doesn't have a FLIR sensor but otherwise seems (from declared characteristics) very similar in design and handling. also it costs $100 instead of $100,000

Friends, my wife has made cool music for 10 years, but as introverts, we both suck at sales, so it's frustrating.

She has composed and published hundreds of songs, both piano and multi-instrumental, but we rely on pure chance for revenue. She deserves much more.

Can you please subscribe to her patreon? She publishes a diary and piano scores. And will also post regular reports about last week's compositions.

https://www.patreon.com/inspiredmelodies

She's also on the fediverse at @inspiredmelodies

Thanks!

Dans Libération, le titre de cet article suggère qu'on peut s'électrocuter avec une tablette sous la douche. 😓
Si elle n'est pas branchée, le seul risque c'est qu'elle tombe en panne...

Dans l'article, on comprend que ce père ne sait pas non plus utiliser le contrôle parental intégré.

Il faut quand même dire qu'objectivement, les systèmes de contrôle parental sont assez compliqués à mettre en œuvre (testé sur iOS et Windows), avec des bugs/blocages à l'activation bordéliques à contourner.

f4grx,
@f4grx@chaos.social avatar

@fenarinarsa le controle parental n'est PAS une solution. c'est juste de la censure. Et donc c'est injuste et ca se contourne.

Les enfants auront toujours acces a ce qui est caché, au moins par les téléphones des copains quand les parents ne sont pas la.

Le seul truc qui marche et qui permet d'avoir confiance c'est l'EDUCATION.

Et ca commence pas a 10 ans, mais à 3-4-5.

Les écrans, ils les auront, controle parental ou pas. Alors autant que ce soit accompagné.

@jpm @gsuberland nah, if you dare the bga, your soldering skills dont suck lol

It'm just happily surprised you can get tented vias for that price. thats very inexpensive.

You know, in the 80s people often said things like "in 40 years, everything will have computers in them", and while they weren't wrong, they severely underestimated the situation.
Our computers have computers in them. Those smaller computers often have even smaller computers inside them.

We didn't get a "everything is a computer" future, we got a future with fractal computers. The fuckers have metastasized

@metin no secret, it hallucinates additional details. give it a 32x32px icon, and have fun scaling that to 32768x32768.

made some headway on the rev2 CO2 sensors for EMF

@f4grx@chaos.social avatar

@gsuberland how do you calibrate a scd40? It uses the min value over 24h iirc, but can you tell it the actual co2 contents corresponding to this min value ?
