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 qu…

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 on…

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 t…

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

Out of curiosity, would you pronounce S-RAM as sram?

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 l…

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 op…

So what the hell are gastric phytobezoars? Apparently they are a form of intestinal blockage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytobezoar

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) …

Looks like Tesla has deleted their old blog post about how great their radar is! https://web.archive.org/web/20210418114757/https://www.tesla...

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.tw…

Employer negligence is not covered by workers' comp.

Actually, vi was made for a keyboard with arrow keys - the arrow keys were non-dedicated and used the HJKL keys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_keys#HJKL_keys

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 th…

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 "100…

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 a…

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 trivi…

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…

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. Pr…

There's a picture in the repo it looks like he is using a logic analyzer. He also mentions the backplane is wire wrapped, making it easy to connect wires. https://github.com/steple…

If you have an inalienable right to repair/rebuild/modify your Tesla do you also have the right to do the same to your future level 5, fully-autonomous self driving car? Absolutely…

I'm curious as to who funded the research in the first place.
