    Some games had an additional 128 or 256 bytes of RAM bult in. Mountain King being one of those I think.

    In places that consist of many people with subsidized incomes, like elderly housing complexes, why aren't local grocery stores and gas stations higher than elsewhere? Also, aside f…

    The one abstraction you would have to keep in mind with assembler (writing more than reading tho) is the cache hierarchy. The days of equal cost to read/write any memory location a…

    For DVDs: Walmart still sells a USB reader/burner for $30. Also I'd bet something will be able to read recordable disks in the future even without drives. Maybe a super super high …

    Meta and Google time-spent growth is probably people watching Reels and YouTube. They're both becoming Tiktok and most of the accounts on Tiktok when I was on it for a while did no…

    Less users = less money the owners are making. What if people are moving to "No App"? Social media is becoming uncool, especially with all the government involvement lately. I woul…

    I keep Discord running in a Firefox tab. It typically only goes down when I have to restart the browser and I often have it up for weeks.
