Does anyone who ever used TASM in the DOS days remember a behavior where using a "loop" instruction that had its destination out of range would still compile cos TASM would insert a shim that's something like...
loop notDone
jmp done
notDone:
jmp ORIGINAL_LOOP_TARGET

My mother in law found this when moving house and now it’s mine! It’s a Panasonic PenWriter, a typewriter that’s actually a pen plotter! Can’t wait to try it out, but I don’t have much hope for the pens still working #penplotter

I thought my iPad 3’s resale value just doubled because I randomly found its launch day invoice and warranty docs, but it’s not the rich countries’ launch day which I’m pretty sure is the only thing that counts, so none of the suc^Wcollectors would pay extra. Oh well, not sure it still works anyway

Inspired by the recent toy model kits, I’m getting back into building scale models, and the sad realization is that neither my paints nor my eyesight are in the same condition as they were during my last scale model hyperfixation 10 years ago.

Found these “wind-up 3D puzzles” I impulse bought ages ago for ~€2.50 each and decided to build them. They’re made of bendy plastic sheets that snap together. The truck was fun to build and looks good; the excavator is impressive, but I couldn’t tighten the arm’s bottom axle; the roller is terrible.

My Xiaomi Mi Band 4 has been randomly telling me lately that I’m “experiencing elevated stress levels” and “listening to calming music” might help. I wasn’t stressed at these times, I’m not even wearing it now. I just realized they’re trying to SELL ME THEIR FUCKING GENAI MUSIC STREAMING SERVICE!

The parade of useless tech-in-search-of-a-problem and rampant VC yes-man-ing has basically driven the Western tech industry into the ground. It's so embarrassing. I can't allow myself to think about where that funding could have gone or else I'd lose my mind
