Had no idea that even existed!

$movie_name is not the worst movie out there by a long shot. It certainly doesn’t deserve to ride the coattails of the original movie though. It helps to keep that in mind if you decide to watch it. It prevents some amount of disappointment.

In this case, $movie_name is set to “WarGames: The Dead Code”, but I think we all understand why it’s a template.


Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem for the first time was an astonishing thing with that soundtrack.. Back then wasn’t really into DP, but that sold me entirely..

Could stick a drive on an ExpressCard to NVMe adapter.. I’ve got one in mine, I don’t boot off it, but I believe it can.. Runs a bit warm, but it’s been powered up and running 24/7 for 2 years with no issues..

Very cool! Do you see decent performance with the adapter?

Sounds like a nice setup though. I too have an old laptop that's been running 24/7 for years. Kind of the perfect small server - low noise/heat/power and has a built-in console.


It’s not stunning, ~420MB/s and 36k IOP/s and it’s limited to 2242 sizes.. But it was a nice cheap 2TB upgrade for the old girl :)

I was always fascinated by the prospects of the 1024-core Epiphany-V from Parallella.. https://parallella.org/2016/10/05/epiphany-v-a-1024-core-64-... But it seems whatever the DARPA connection was has led to it not being for scruffs like me and is likely powering god knows what military systems..


I’ve always been fascinated on more details about the VIC-1 in the Vixen/VIC-20.. Apparently designed for an arcade machine use, but then put into use for the VIC.. Wish there was more about that part of the story as I’ve no idea how it really came about and would dearly love to know more.. Aside from that, the gang did an amazing job, Jack, Chuck, Bob, Tony and Co. I raise my glass to you all :)


RoBB was something truly special!


Deltron 3030 is one of the most amazing things ever!


The Ouseburn Farm in Newcastle (your last link) is a great place :)


I’m puzzled by that too.. iPhone 15 Pro and FPS is 60.1ms permanently, but clearly moving at 60fps+.. Very nice though, very nice indeed..


Windows has been driving me crackers the last few days trying to benchmark hard to measure optimisations, and tend to end up on long runs, looking for the minimum time.. Usually closing chrome results in an immediate ~10% performance boost even minimised.. I’d love to see an option for a Developer to lock off some cores totally, nothing runs on them unless its in an approved list.. At least then I can profile on those cores and get a reasonable result..


You can! I needed to run some realtime networking stuff on an isolated core and followed this [1]

I used Windows 11 and the two cores I isolated show no CPU usage in task manager until you run something that's pinned to those cores.
