I tried to complete the DazzlerII video card and it’s very close to working: it responds to CP/M and executable code, but isn’t displaying what is expected. Hardware issue, software issue or compatibility issue? Does it require a Z80 or should an 8080 suffice? All good questions.

I have yet to see a SINGLE #AI tool that successfully carries out a complex task.

Mimic anything? No problem. Actually do something that comprises several steps? ALWAYS fails. In 100% of cases.

@stooovie chaining together several AI actions using Python seems to work WAY better than trying to do everything in one go.

After years of dithering there is some clarity or what Windows development platforms to use: WinUI/WinAppSdk or good old (but refreshed) WPF. Windows devs rejoice!

Working at a company where they give presentations in a C64 tshirt is pretty cool.
