Impressive, but oh man, the transition from the original ZSNES User Interface from my childhood to the UI of Super ZSNES was jarring to say the least. Nostalgia is powerful: https://imgur.com/a/R63BKTe

This would be a clever time to introduce a "Mac Neo Mini" (e.g. a cheaper mac mini alternative with a mobile CPU like the A18 Pro in the MacBook Neo). Probably won't happen due to shortages of A18 CPUs but they would sell lik

Thanks for making me feel old! One of my first real jobs involved MIDP/J2ME development. I cannot say I loved the platform, but it somehow felt more magical back then to develop something and run it on a Nokia brick than (mobile) devel

The way I understand it, the shader overlay can only modify what is already being rendered below. It does not have access to the underlying application logic, 3D geometry or other internals of a game that you would need for this. You can in

That's so clever! Plenty of emulators and games don't have native support for these kinds of shaders so just put a filter over it.

Ah yes, Bending Spoons. The company known for: * Acquiring Evernote, laying off most of its staff and raising prices. * Acquiring WeTransfer, announcing 75% layoffs and pissing off their most loyal users by changing their T&Cs to grant

For mobile devices that matters, but plenty of use cases for stationary displays, including desktops.

I came here to say the same thing! I used an ancient (DOS) version of it to get me through high school French, German, Latin and so on. Fond memories.

Thanks I will see if I can get my hands on an oscilloscope and look at the 12v and 5v rails.

Amazing that they were able to figure this out. I have a PET that also sometimes boots up into a garbled screen similar to the one pictured in the article. I am usually able to get past it with a few hard resets. I don’t have access to (or

I was doing mobile development on a home healthcare product during this period. The product was built around Nokia’s line of phones with NFC built in, so we had good ties with them and would always get prototypes of their next generation of

Awesome proposition, but good grief what a terrible website. It looks like some dodgy knockoff site and scrolling is broken. Not really inspiring confidence.

Nightmares differ from night terrors though. To quote Wikipedia: Night terrors are distinct from nightmares.[31] In fact, in nightmares there are almost never vocalization or agitation, and if there are any, they are less strong in comparis

That may help for bad dreams, but not for night terrors (which are medically a different thing, where you are not consciously awake).

My son has night terrors and if I were living in the Middle Ages, I would probably have called in a priest for an exorcism by now. I can absolutely imagine that in less enlightened times, where we did not have access to the internet, peer r

I don't have evidence for this, but my working theory is that there is too much money to be made in promoting certain artists / songs for music recommender systems to remain objective. If supermarkets auction off premium shelf spa

We still have a ton of these in use for general office work and they are still more than fine. For light use these should be good plenty longer, but I would not pay full price for them anymore.

Shortcuts is indeed the (more than spiritual) successor to Automator. Scratch was pretty famous in interface design circles in the early 2000s (it was a pretty high profile MIT Media Lab project). I'm sure the Automator developers were

Apple's Shortcuts seems heavily inspired by the visual programming language that Scratch uses: https://support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts-mac/intro-to-how-s...

Same in Dutch (a Germanic language). Then again, we colloquially call both a motorcycle and its engine “motor”.

Not mine, the article mentions subservience.

That’s such a false dichotomy. There is a whole spectrum of existence between being a corporate PowerPoint drone and being a subservient housewife.

Sure but then also don’t go on Instagram or TikTok promoting that lifestyle as the ideology of a sectarian group.
