I have a Tapo camera which from all the cats parading from my yard, only one black cat is recognized as a person. Not other cats. Not even other black cats. It makes you think.

The title should say from macOS to Airplay and Chromecast devices. A very good app. Happy paid user here.

I remember having integer variables in Amstrad CPC (Locomotive) Basic. Something with the % symbol. edit: ChatGPT says that BBC BASIC and TRS-80 Microsoft BASIC also supported integer variables with % declaration.

Heartwarming story! Fellow Greek here. Also made my family take the Amstrad CPC and monitor to an 8 hours trip to the village.

Yes, although miles would be more appropriate! https://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html

Hey! I woke up at 06:00 to check what was wrong with a service. It turned out, a server in Germany could not reach a server in Finland in the 20" timeout I had set.

What about "Press"?

Maybe it's so advanced, it knows the players' next moves, so it is a video!

Same experience in Turkey a month ago. The exposed wires everywhere in the hotel complex should give me a clue. Also following a smell I ended up in a burned down apartment , not really a surprise given the amount of negligence in everything electrical I've seen there.

China has done this before, damaging the European steel industry with state subsidies.

It looks like the museum was dragged to do something thanks to Mr. Gradel's determination.

This doesn't exactly strengthen the museum's case against returning artifacts.

So, a Unix running on a Sinclair QL, which is based on 68008 would be possible, theoretically!

For another data point, as kids in Greece we made fun of our friend who first switched to a PC, (we had Atari STs). Even after he got a Sound Blaster and a VGA card we still had better games like Kick Off and Dungeon Master. But one day he invited us to his house and showed as Wolfenstein. I distinctly remember the feeling. It was over!

A 18 year old German flew though Russian air defense, and landed a Cessna near Red Square in Moscow on 28 May 1987!

We had PC emulators on the 68000 based Atari ST in the 80s. No extra hardware needed, but very slow! And I'm sure that emulators was a thing from the very first computers.

There is a little button "Code ▽" under the demo if you want to see how it's working!

The ai-cli library detects programs that offer interactive command-line editing through the readline library, and modifies their interface to allow obtaining help from a GPT large language model, such as OpenAI's or one provided through a llama.cpp server. Think of it as a command line copilot.

Space is precious! Soldered SSDs can't be replaced, so we are stuck with the size we could afford at the time we bought our MacBooks.

Kind of trapped in a large project. Started in Turbo Pascal in 1994, ported to Delphi, and we're still working on it. Maybe will finally have to port it to something else if WASM support is not added soon. I like the language because it's readable, yet as powerful and close to the metal as C++. Not so happy with the pricing model though.

So, there is the theoretical possibility that there could be a Google Play store on iOS, or an Apple App Store on Android! Interesting even as a thought.

A very low-tech tip: I keep a glasses cleaning cloth on my desk. It improves my eyesight instantly!

By chance, I was just reading that typing "x = 4.725" on Atari ST Basic crashed the computer. Still not fixed 35 years later :) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_ST_BASIC#Bugs]

I once got a warning for sexual content. The offensive phrase was "Virgin Mary".
