Somewhat related, new version of Amiga Vision collection just dropped. Very high quality product you can get for free if you are an Amiga fan. Can't get enough of included demos on my MiSTer setup.

>LLM tech as it stands right now will turn into a commodity

I am yet to see in-depth analysis that supports this claim

There's X11libre for Linux and there's X on OpenBSD and FreeBSD. I am sure it will be fine.

EdgeRouter series got major 3.0 update in August 2025, just a few months ago. It took them a while but it got released after series of release candidates.

Please replace CD with cd in the title, it's misleading.

I think so. I learned about it from a short announcement teaser on their YT channel.

Similar projects:

- VICIIdigitizer (requires Lumacode compatible decoder like OSSC or c0pperdragon's RGBtoHDMI)

- VIC-II Kawari (chip replacement, outputs digital natively)

If you work with ASCII-only monospaced-only text, then yeah sure. It gets weird real quick outside of those boundaries.

Not familiar with demoscene needs, but might A2DVI card be of help? It seems to support all standard video modes at least. Alternatively, there's also VidHD.

I wonder if LibreWolf is of any help with those (and previous) changes. Would love to see LibreWolf maintainers chime in on this.

Derbauer and Buildzoid on YouTube made nice informative videos on subject, and no it is not "simply a user error". So glad I went with 7900 XTX - should be all set for a couple of years.

If it is good enough for OpenBSD it is good enough for me.

>There are no more apples left. There are zero apples.

These are not equivalent statements though. You simply learned at some early age zero represents absence, but that is not a natural concept.

Niklas, if you are reading this - it was a pleasure to interview with you some 6 (or so) years ago :) thanks for the script and the research, I will make use of it.

New comment by ulfbert_inc in "Terminal Latency"

ulfbert_inc — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 05:33:32 +0000

I think latency on its own is not as much of an issue as fluctuations of it (jitter) when it comes to human perception. At least myself is very susceptible to jitter so I appreciate post author's work documenting those stats, though jitter is not addressed directly.
