... next I'll need to check cassette tapes for the Spectrum...

Going through a box of floppies to check which still work and which don't. I'll keep just a few working ones to work in the Amiga and Alpha, dump the bad ones and donate the remaining working ones to Re-PC.

Now, this was one nice piece of hardware!

It is 2026 and glibc's longjmp still doesn't execute finalizers when truncating the stack.

Safe Flights, Juan.

Chrome and Edge share the web/JS engine but does that extend to PDF engine? To be honest, I only ever install Chrome on test devices...
My main beef with Edge's PDF is the mediocre nav. Can't even 'back' a hyperlink.

@firefox.com is a great PDF reader. It can sync the TOC and navigate hyperlinks just fine. It can deal with the Arm ARM's 102 MiB file much better than Adobe's own reader which is a resource hog and is always trying to sell you something.

Q: "Hey Siri, what is the driving distance between Tacoma and Kirkland both in Washington". A: "I need to know your location. Please enable Siri access to location on your settings app."

So... why do you need my current location to answer that question?

I don't mind the used Itanium polo if you dont ;-)

Screenshot of .NET Lab with disassembled machine code

.NET Lab can now display disassembled machine code. It's taken directly from JIT, hence only supported on desktop for now. #dotnet #csharp #roslyn #asm #dotnetlab

Please! Please! Please! I'll take all. Take my money!

YES!!!

... and the clickbait award of the year goes to....

Just bought this computer. What should I install first?

Science is a verb, not a noun.

Hey! I saw one just like that just outside Studio E!

Froyo

Only Arm64.

Good news. In VS 2026 Preview /Oy- is now the default, even in the "Release" configuration. This is the case at least for new projects. Glad to see this finally fixed.

In case you had missed it - I had. VirtualBox now supports Windows on Arm.

Not a bad alternative to the departed Windows Services for Android.

November 1994.

Now this is something unexpected: Tahoe's new "Apps" pannel behaves worse than Windows start menu. It is sluggish, at times downright unrespinsive, some UI elements just don't work... it is me or "26" is just not Apple's number?!

macOS Tahoe (download) is 20GB. Geez!

Some dev tools from colledge days...

My next macbook will have SVE. Will I still have my M1 by 2030?

Please, debug card manufacturers: Stop using micro-USB for UART ports. Just stop it. Really! No more. Please! There is this thing called USB-C now - been here for a while. Pretty solid. Give micro-USB honorable fairwell. Please!
