I've been watching those videos after seeing this, it's interesting to see such an obscure system these days, most of the hardware from that era is usually well documented but I've…

My initial thought is why query 1TB of data in a browser, maybe I'm the wrong target audience for this but it seems that it's pushing that everything has to be in a browser rather …

Not a museum or archive as such but in the UK there is this https://www.rmcretro.com/ Has a large collection of old systems and games, magazines and anything else they can get hold…

It's probably more nostalga than anythng but I do sometimes miss the sound of floppy drives and hard drives. With modern computers there is usually no disk activity indicators and …

I don't play many modern games. Not really interested in the latest consoles and my graphics card in the PC is around 8 years old. It seems a lot of games now require a large time …

I use Teams on my phone regularly and have never seen this happen. Clicking on a link takes me to the web page without any problems, even in my default browser which is Firefox.

Can't say that outside of HN i've come across a link to anything about Mastodon so not sure it's won much.

Only used discourse in a limited way but it lacks the searchability of the old forums. I can't imagine how much useful information has been lost when some of these sites have shut …

I've released software which has been pirated, i'm sure that's a common thing that many on this site have experienced. Photography is a hobby of mine. I don't watermark any photos …

SUBQ also seems to be missing. Interesting project and it may be a useful tool for learning M68K assembler for a beginner, but as an editor or simulator it seems very limited at th…

Anecdotal for me, before the pandemic I was working in an open office and there was times that it was not a good environment when you need to focus, working from home work a bit im…

I design the majority of the electronics for my company and pretty much all the firmware as well. Wages are not bad for the area i'm in, which is fairly rural, but could be a lot b…

I started working around 29 years ago, pay was not great as it was a very small company and my first job out of University. I was writing assembly code for a fire alarm interface s…

I don't know if it's a common feature or just part of the Samsung Keyboard app, but when the phone is rotated it does seperate they keyboard quite nicely so you can access each hal…

My partner bought an old Brother knitting machine and ribber attachment during the lockdown. I think it was the KH820 if my memory serves me correct, one with a punch card reader. …

I've run a forum and worked on a couple of others. First one was for lactose intolerance when there was very little information available. Others were technical sites. In that case…

There are still many micro controllers, especially memory constrained or less common devices, that there isn't an option beyond C for them. C++ is sometimes an option but even then…

I have a MSDN subscription and one of my colleges wanted a Japanese Windows 10 ISO to track down a particular bug. While I had to login to get the link to the ISO, once I had that …

There's also this one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFhc0MFC8MiCDOh3cGFji...

I think I designed my first website using HoTMetaL. The WYSIWYG interface was basic but worked but once you hit the limitations of it then at least you could edit the HTML directly…

The Last Starfighter game from the movie, always remember watching that movie and wishing it was possible to play the game. Basic by any 3d space game standard now but had a nice s…

On an old TV I have it can take at least 5 seconds before it starts counting down. I've just assumed it was a badly maintained app. Have 3 smart Tvs and YouTube seems to behave dif…

Most business software can be installed by the network admins, software that can't doesn't matter for a lot of these companies and just won't be used. Even in my smaller but rapidl…

wordI think it can be hard to recommend a particular codebase, well written code can be good to read but if you want to become better at a language or problem domain then sometimes…
