They designed a $70,000 electric pickup that ended up costing $100,000 not too long ago. You don't see them on the road.

Are deeds with conditions like that legal in that jurisdiction?

It's interesting that the "users can check for themselves" defense was attempted, Google search is so awful now that it's nearly impossible to find anything but ads and ads disguised as links. Even watching people try to use it is infuriating.

Apple's just doing what's on the agenda, plugging the analog hole. Your TV doesn't have a headphone jack any more either. TVs haven't had this in decades.

It's just more Orange Man Bad, we've all heard it. Actual, real people are tuning it out now.

Yes that was how it worked due to the limitations of the C64 but also the old BASIC that they were using. If you actually used your C64 as a "power user" you'd probably have ponied up for JiffyDOS which in addition to making the disks like 10x faster, had some QoL features like being able to list the disk contents without blowing away the low line numbers in BASIC. It was also extremely easy and common to make your own wedge (a new BASIC command). If you weren't going to use something like the tape drive for instance, you could even have it (or parts thereof) live in the memory where the tape would normally be. JiffyDOS does this, you can't use the tape drive with it at all.

Yeah, just found that. Now I'm getting 3000+FPS on my ancient Thinkpad T520.

29 FPS for me, what hardware are you using to get a hundred thousand FPS?

Yes a cash register company in Europe bought the HP calculator lineup and IP and produces them today. They have slightly changed, for example the battery compartment is now secured by a screw. The owner of Moravia (who bought HP calculators) is himself a personal fan of HP calculators which is how the brand got saved from being scrapped entirely. Many people hope they will bring back the 50g or something using RPL.

SwissMicros calculators are also now the host of a Free Software HP48/50G clone effort that is quite far along and usable already.
