(I know pgl has been collecting DNS weirdnesses for years - that bit definitely hasn't been AI-generated.)

Might have been interesting if they'd allowed you to page out the ROM to access the extra 16K - load a small routine from tape that contains your own tape loading routine, swap out the ROM, load the rest of your app, bob's your uncle. Would have needed some shenanigans to swap in the ROM on reset, obvs.

I get the green triangle and `hasDrawable=1 status=0x8cd5 glError=0x0` which is the expected result.

We need a better word than "alternatives" because they are, on the whole, partial-alternatives at best. Whether it's missing features (and I'm not talking about the esoteric here; I'm talking basic things like "expand the selection", etc.) or mind-boggling UX problems, they're all slightly deficient compared with Photoshop.

Which sucks.

I'm not doubting the authority on the balances; it's the correlation to the number of checks I'm querying - high balance doesn't necessarily mean high number of checks, especially since the checks can have different values.

> "These account balances reflect only the rewards for errors reported since the beginning of 2006. Many reward checks were issued during 1968--2005, too numerous to mention here."

There's 20 years on that chart vs 37 not on it.

Also that's "account balance" rather than "the most Reward checks" which I take to mean "the most [number of] reward checks" -- there's probably a correlation, yes, but [0] shows a variety of ways where check values are non-constant.

Like on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN__36cjBQ4 (well worth a watch) it'll occasionally stick "Heat." in there.

Rechargeables were worse for me and thus I haven't used them at low temperature for a couple of years - maybe things are better now.

Luckier than me. I've worked at a few places where the code was simultaneously brilliantly written[0] and also unmaintainable nonsense that caused endless problems. One place had its own object model and ORM that absolutely no-one currently at the place understood and literally every bug filed (whilst I was there) could be traced back to that code.

(Probably just a coincidence that most of those places where Perl shops but I've seen it with Go too...)

[0] In terms of "cleverness", not in terms of "maintainability" or "readability".

Works fine for me but I guess you might run into problems in a more exposed "watery" place (London doesn't really have extreme rain or humidity.)

I might be missing something but isn't this exactly what iMazing[0] is? I know I use it to backup my iPhone, for example.

2023? 2026 is more than "3 years later" from 2003, I hope.

But Kik (from Medialab who are the people being fined by ICO) is still online in the UK which somewhat undercuts that argument?
