I had a call the other day with a consultancy to potentially pick up some infrastructure work/project type stuff. Asked about timezones involved and they said a lot of their client…

We saw issues before 16:00 UTC - approx 15:38

Same. The incident calls I'm on this morning agree too

My son Oliver was born with mitochondrial disease and was killed by conditions associated with it at the age of 19. Some of the people mentioned in the report here were involved in…

I remember the knowledge/idea of illegal opcodes for the C64 slowly making their way through the hacker/cracker community. Like secret knowledge being distilled back then via BBS

I love the C64 but the Atari 8-bit line was fine indeed (one of my first exposures to home computing was Star Raiders at a family friends house - blew me away). Archer Maclean, aut…

I bought a Logitech MX Ergo a couple of years back and genuinely love it for many of the reasons other trackballs users cite in this thread - but I have noticed in the last few mon…

It seems like a lot of the opposition to this I’m seeing online is because Trump is the one that granted it. Ridiculous hyperbole about Ross ‘inventing the Dark Web’ or ‘Trump free…

I was considering this just last night lamenting the state of my Twitter/X feed. The paid engagement incentive has had the unintended effect of ruining what’s on offer and clearly …

As ever when new models come out I fully spec'd one out on the UK store. 128GB M3 Max, 8TB SSD. £6999 14", £7299 16". Ouch

There was quite the mystique around Ultimate in those early days. So much so in fact that when I was 10 years old there was a conspiracy theory going around that the colours of the…

Ghost in the Wires is a laugh out loud read for me. I told him it should be a movie and he said there was a screenplay. Hope it sees the light of day.

'semianalysis' indeed

We were seeing issues earlier in UK South/West (Azure)

I agree. Honestly if I’m browsing for something new and it has several seasons it puts me off even starting. I don’t want to invest that much time into something when the quality i…

I love how much development work is still going on for the C64 (and other old computers). There seem to be more game launches now than during some months during it's heyday

This book grabbed my eye too, but then I saw Matthew Sweet on Twitter (@DrMatthewSweet) kept questioning the studies used and suggesting that Hari has cherry picked results to supp…

Jeff is one of my gaming/programming heroes. Still doing great work today too.

I've recently been reading Galileo's Error by Philip Goff which covers a lot of this ground (he's a proponent of panpsychism). Quite an interesting look into the various arguments …

One thing I don't see mentioned too much is just how slow it was. Not to mention confusing. I expect a lot of people were simply put off from using it after taking a look.

I’ll check that keyboard out! Many thanks.

I'm in the market for something like this for on call purposes. Something small/light enough to stow in a coat pocket but which has a physical keyboard and enough functionality for…

FormulaPi is a robot car racing series along similar lines. Submit your own code and race against teams from around the world. I've participated in the last couple of seasons and i…

Compressing cracked games was a big thing too. There would be a lot of competition to get the smallest version of a game for faster downloading from a BBS, getting more games on a …

And also formulapi.com !
