I've been playing the Z80-μLM demos in your CP/M emulator. Works great! However, I have yet to guess a correct answer in GUESS.COM! I'm not sure if I'm just not asking the right questions or I'm just really bad at i

It's almost that simple. There are many online medical equipment providers that will send you an at home sleep study kit. Their goal is basically to sell you a PAP machine (plus ongoing related supplies), pretty much anyone can get one

To me, I thought the interesting part was how he had to modify the hard drive emulator firmware to remove CPU wait states and support a streaming mode - I would have thought even the slowest SD card would be enough to overwhelm any 8 bit co

It's probably because it has something to do with Stephenson's notorious failed Kickstarter sword fighting game "Clang." https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/260688528/clang

I had one of these back in the day. I seem to remember it cost a lot less than buying a PostScript printer. A major downside was that it was extremely slow!

I believe the AS/400 calls it Field Exit. One of the things I used to do for new users was remap Field Exist to Enter in the IBM 5250 emulation software. Then the enter key acted like the user expected (on a real 5250 terminal there is

The Tesla App seems to be divided into convenience features (which use an Internet connection) and a key (which uses Bluetooth). The key part does not rely on Tesla's servers to operate (except probably for initial setup?). I had no pr

In the US, this depends a bit on which state you live in. For wage garnishment usually it is the LESSOR of 25% of disposable income (income after taxes and involuntary deductions) OR the amount that your income exceeded 30 times federal min

I have to agree with tasogare that the focus is the vaccination and both characters are looking directly at it. Here is larger version that clearly shows their gaze: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ExdDvo_WUAEmp6g.jpg

Not a lawyer and not in California. As others have pointed out, most companies don't care about misdemeanors. And, technically you were arrested when you turned yourself in - at that moment you were not "free to walk away" ev

This is correct. It had one MMU for instructions and one for data.

I'm going to have to call you out on this. You can't criticize a person for not taking the time to type out text-to-speech and then yourself use "1000ms" - because if I Google "1000ms" it returns 2236.94 Miles

I'm not an expert on this, but there's a famous case from 1998 where the Galaxy IV telecommunications satellite developed "tin whiskers" on it's soldered connections which caused an electrical short resulting in a t

Not to take away from Quinn Dunki's accomplishments, one big difference is the Veronica used an ATmega 324PA - basically an 8 bit 20 MIPS RISC CPU. Generating a VGA signal is trivial for this powerful chip. Entire retro game consoles h

That and the onboard flash is only 32MB. No networking support (WiFi or BT). Mono audio, no headphone jack. Some interesting limitations for a 32 bit portable console.

Personally, I hated the Lexus mouse. Compared to the prior generation (which used a touchscreen) it was slow and awkward to use. The newer touchpad style they're using is almost as bad. The touch screen was basically tap-tap done. I kn

I would disagree - to give an electronics example, this level of work is done all the time at large scale on PCB manufacturers with solder mask, solder paste, silk screens, etc. Print shops can do this kind of work, too (precise amounts, su

The company I currently work at uses the term "awarded" instead of accrued for PTO. This is their way of justifying not paying out unused PTO at termination (ie. it was not "earned" therefor they don't have to pay i

It's still the same case now, Norwegian Airlines doesn't participate in PreCheck (just flew to Europe last week). However, you can sort of mitigate that if you're also a member of Clear. At my local airport Clear lets me use

Our main customer has a global network of AS/400 systems. The employees make fun of the "old" looking text interface, but that system is pretty much bullet proof. The only times I ever see it go down are when their Windows ba
