If I had one I’d probably dedicate it to emulation.

But I have a MiSTer for that, so…

Try aidungeon - it does exactly this.

I’ve been using it recently for generating alt text for images (my bots on Mastodon and Aunty Madge on !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com specifically). It’s pretty good at that, although does sometimes give weirdly wrong details - especially the TED Music Bot, if it gets the usual +4 startup screen it says it’s +4 on key F1, instead of 3-plus-1, and tells me the wrong colours for the text and background (I think it may be getting it confused with the C64, bit the colours are right there on the image!). It’s infinitely preferable to having no alt text, which would be the alternative.

The other thing it’s really good at is summarising articles.

I’ve also used it when I’ve had an error in my code I can’t track down, or a bracket missing that I can’t figure out. It quite often gives nonsense but I’ve had some success. Usually a normal web search is perfectly adequate though!

Press Enter.

I see from your photo that it’s a Lenovo - pressing Enter to interrupt normal startup will give you a menu which then lets you get into the BIOS.

If it doesn’t go past the “press Enter” point you might need to remove the HDD (or whatever storage it has) and try again. Reconnect once you’ve changed the settings back.

Just missing a random pile of files on the desktop.

That’s to guarantee you have to try plugging the USB cable in in all four available orientations before it fits.

There’s no “slave” convention in git so I’m not sure how it can be considered an issue (I get that drives being master and slave is a bit icky). But then, what is it a master of?

As others have said, “trunk” would have been a more sensible replacement.

Not sure, could be “and, um, yeah” when my sentence trails off because I’ve forgotten what I was talking about halfway through the sentence.

I have to have covers, absolutely hate my back being uncovered if nothing else. Some sort of blanket or sheet is essential to get to sleep.

Yes, you only know what you’ve experienced. If everything’s blurry, that’s normal.

I know when I got my glasses, the optician said to look across the road with my glasses on. There was a brick wall the other side and I could see it clearly. I was amazed and said as much. I don’t think my sight had always been bad but it must have been bad for long enough for that to be a revelation.

Nope. Some people do care though. I’m more concerned with the interest rate as it makes a big difference to my mortgage.

I think you’ll find that’s the recommended spec, not the minimum requirements.

My work laptop always complains that it can’t shut down the “Shutting down” app when it tries to shut down.

To be fair I’d not heard of Malbolge so whatever.

I would have put Perl as lawful evil, Brainfuck as Chaotic Evil and maybe ASM should have been Neutral Evil

I don’t think there’s space - there’s IQ above where the E would go.

Looks like a V.

There’s an L next to a triple the other side - ALE could go there.

I went for n-ginx too. I’ve known for a while that it’s actually n-gin-x but have to think carefully to not revert back.

Why can’t a girl be a good role model for a boy?

(I’m not completely disagreeing with you btw - if all the boy leads are “stereotypical boy” then it’s just perpetrating the problem)

How was this pulled off? Here are the theories From CNN’s Christian Edwards

Experts have shared two competing theories as to how hundreds of pagers could have exploded simultaneously.

One theory is that there was a cybersecurity breach, causing the pagers’ lithium batteries to overheat and detonate.

Another is that this was a “supply chain attack,” where the pagers were tampered with during the manufacturing and shipping process.

David Kennedy, a former US National Security Agency intelligence analyst, told CNN that the explosions seen in videos shared online appear to be “too large for this to be a remote and direct hack that would overload the pager and cause a lithium battery explosion.”

Kennedy said he found the second theory to be more plausible.

“It’s more likely that Israel had human operatives… in Hezbollah… The pagers would have been implanted with explosives and likely only to detonate when a certain message was received,” he said.

“The complexity needed to pull this off is incredible. It would have required many different intelligence components and execution. Human intelligence (HUMINT) would be the main method used to pull this off, along with intercepting the supply chain in order to make modifications to the pagers,” he added.
