Ask an AI "Why do you have to yell when you say the name of the Amiga game BLAZEMONGER?"

OpenAI's ChatGPT returns a very generic (hallucinated) answer about "classic video game titles".

Google's Gemini has definitely read the archives of comp.sys.amiga of the early 90's but still misses the point.

None of them understand that it's a fictitious game.

"Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

The computer, however, will stop you from recording DRM'd content.

Find it fascinating that when faced with drawing safety and security boundaries, the primary beneficiary is not the owner of the device, or the person using it, but random corporations who control the intellectual property rights.

The system doesn't work for you.

"...a would-be hacker would need to gain physical access to your device, unlock it and sign in before they could access saved screenshots."

I've got some news for Microsoft about how domestic abuse works.

Microsoft Recall is going to make post-breach impact analysis impossible. Right now IR processes can establish a timeline of data stewardship to identify what information may have been available to an attacker based on the level of access they obtained. It's not trivial work, but IR folks can do it. Once a system with Recall is compromised, all data that has touched that system is potentially compromised too, and the ML indirection makes it near impossible to confidently identify a blast radius.

If you can see the Big Dipper, you’ll get to see a star go nova soon

Sometime between May and September, a white dwarf is expected to go thermonuclear.

New blog post! If you're setting up a BlueSCSI image for your classic Mac, there's lots of little tricks and traps for the first-timer. I'm hoping this entry will make things easier, and you'll also learn how to change your hard drive icon... in Japanese. #retrocomputing #mac68k #bluescsi

@animal_well Has anyone told you yet that your game is similar to Lizard?

I kind of hope this type of game becomes a "genre"!

For no particular reason at all I’ve started taking inventory of the many computers I own that don’t take screenshots of everything I do every few seconds.

I visited the MIT Flea today! A great selection of vintage '70s and '80s computers this time. I saw people happily boxing up VIC-20s and TRS-80s to take home. This is going to be a thread of some of what I saw, followed by what I ended up with myself.

Why is The Wayback Machine so important for preserving our digital culture? According to new analysis from Pew Research Center:
❌ 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible
❌ 23% of news webpages contain at least one broken link
