Unexpected FIFO

Man, the ST version of FSII was amazing to me - I played hundreds of hours of that, surely.

I was playing FSII and FSI and Remote Control FS on the Apple //c back in '84. I never really had an A8 back then. Had a $25 bin 400 from Children's Palace as they were closing down, but didn't do much with it at all.

Yeah, I remember seeing the XEGS and a Coleco Adam on display at the mall in a Ritz camera shop. That's the only place I ever saw either of those machines set up and running. I was shocked to see it came with FSII. I remember being surprised that they could fit that game on a cartridge, as well.

I did actually love FSII as a 12 year old kid, but yea - I was a special child.

lol sign worked

headlines like this are journalistic malpractice

Do people really use the word "clutch" (the new, adjective usage) in verbal conversation with other humans? Is this something that actually happens?

Seeing it written is evidently my new #1 top pet peeve. I feel like hearing it uttered by a living human would be like stepping on an upturned nail.

Sounds fiddly. Just build a 486. ;->

Behold: The 5x86 System Build Is Complete! - Byte Cellar Back in November I became inspired by the knowledge that my favorite old school DOS MODplayer had “recently” received an update, and expressed my intention (part 1) to more-or-less recreate the 486-cl...

I had to build a 486-class system around the GUS to find it an ISA slot. :-)

Would that adapter setup see it work?

Here's a photo I've just taken.

Gravis Ultrasound soundcard for PC

This is my Gravis Ultrasound. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I have one of these - recently acquired. I found being plugged directly into the DMA port (and those aren't round pins) was causing me instability issues - it jiggled as I swapped cards, reset. I ended up buying a UltraSatan cable and soldering on the US jack and using it that way - no more issues.

MiniDisc deserved better

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

What in the actual FUCK???

a variation on the popular all modern digital infrastructure meme. a big stack of pieces is very unstably balanced on top of four small pieces. everything would fall down if just one of the pieces is moved even a tiny bit. the pieces are labelled "cloudflare", "Amazon us-east-2", "some Azure zone or another", and "and open source project you hadn't even heard about". a text to the side says "with apologies to Randall Munroe and countless other people"

just in case nobody has done it before

A picture of a Steam Machine with a NeXT logo, green power button, drive bays, and that NeXT kind of stripey part decoration part testarossa intake strakes that aren't. It's a mash of disparate things but damn it's fine.

Oh if you insist.

Rest in peace, Rebecca Heineman. I wish I had known you more than just as a fan.

needless to say even a whiff of possible pedophilia should be an immediate resignation

functioning democracies should have an extremely high standard for politicians in high offices, independent of any legal action

there's plenty of other people who can do the job which don't come with the baggage

New Epstein emails appear to reveal more Trump ties Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released several emails from the estate of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that refer to President Trump.

It looks like "another wonderful secret" has just been told...
