Top Story

Well, that was quick: The Commodore 64 Ultimate is the first hardware from the eponymous company since around the time of the Peloponnesian War. (Liliputing)

For certain values of "new". It is based around an existing hardware emulator kit and a very slightly modified version of the original case. Or more than slightly modified if you choose the translucent RGB Starlight or Founders Edition models.

It's been updated just a little, of course. The original user port is gone, replaced with a selection of HDMI, Ethernet, and USB ports. The RAM capacity has been increased slightly, from 64K to 128MB. And the CPU is a FPGA emulating the original 6510 (a modified 6502) in hardware, apparently at around 168MHz.

It also includes two ZIF sockets for optional SID audio chips, though those are only required for purists since the FPGA is quite happy to emulate those as well.

Apart from that, though, any original hardware that is still operational should simply plug in and work.

And it comes with a 64GB USB drive full of software and demos, the equivalent of about half a million floppy disks.

Priced at $299 for the basic beige model and $349 for the Starlight version.

If you want something slightly more modern, the Ayaneo Flip 1S updates the concept of the Nintendo DS. (Hot Hardware)

It features a 7" 1080p 144Hz OLED main screen, and a choice of a a secondary 4.5" screen or a full (but certainly not full-size) keyboard, plus the usual set of game pads.

And up to a 12-core Ryzen 370 CPU, 64GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage, because this is not a toy for children.

Starting at $799 it is very much a toy for adults.

Only unfortunate thing is they didn't manage to work some magic that would let you somehow swap between the second screen and the physical keyboard. That would have been neat.
Seriously, do not touch the prairie dogs. (CNN)

Do not.
Nvidia warns that its datacenter GPUs could be vulnerable to Rowhammer attacks if you deliberately make them vulnerable to Rowhammer attacks by turning off error checking. (Nerds)

Microsoft Outlook went down for nearly a day for some users. (AP)

What part of "do not" was too complicated?

21 Grace Knight, the lead singer for Perth's Eurogliders (inkblot self-loathing?) went on to have a solo jazz career as Australia's diva. Some years later she reunited with the band and they are now on tour. And if you can't make it to Australia to see them, here's a sample of her singing a jazz standard.

If you haven't seen Sir Paul's band, you might want to fix that as he's in his '80s.

28 Odd dream this morning. I was in a hotel, cleaning up old paperwork of my own from my computer field days -- notes and printouts of code I had absolutely no memory of doing (even in the dream). Also at the hotel was a convention of Get Smart fans, and I fell into conversation with them and offered my own commentary on the series and why it worked. I woke up about the time I was opining on why GS worked as a comedy and other comic shows Don Adams did, or shows/movies with a similar situation, did not.

32 Sipping coffee I am, and planning to go for a last workout, very mild, before my surgery tomorrow. I'll keep the afternoon nap short and make bedtime tonight a little later, so, with luck, I can sleep tonight instead of laying there picturing all sorts of horrors.

Can't eat or drink after midnight tonight, of course. That's gonna be a strain first thing tomorrow. I'll keep a little cold coffee in the fridge so I can have a few swallows Monday afternoon; that will head off the coffee withdrawal symptoms.

37 Get Smart *worked* because it did not try to graft bumbling comedy onto a relatively realistic TV world. It set up its own loony little universe, with barely-competent villains with disordered grandiose plots, and then let Max and 99 deal with it all. Adams' later series The Partners, from what I recall, had him and his fellow cop as comic loose cannons within a police department that could have come from Dragnet. That just did not work.

Trivia bit: The fellow who wrote the GS theme song, Irving Szathmary? He was Bill Dana's brother (Dana's real name was Szathmary). Dana and Don Adams had worked together on The Bill Dana Show a few years back, where Dana played his Jose Jimenez character and Adams was a goofy hotel detective. I'd like to see some of those episodes.

81 I don't know if the prairie dog village still exists, but in the summer of 1979 there was one such village on I-80 somewhere in Nevada. I was on summer leave with a fellow cadet and I had a new car, so we drove from NY to his father's home in San Francisco. I had to return to West Point in a couple of weeks to be cadre for the incoming class of 1983.

It was a pretty big prairie dog infestation; maybe there were several such villages along the interstate. Be that as it may, small animals and roads result in roadkill. We noticed that some prairie dogs were attempting to pull the dead off the traffic lanes and thought that was perhaps the mates of the dead trying to save their mate (thinking they might still be alive).

I'm not entirely heartless and attempted to miss the little bastards after we saw that, since I was the one driving in that stretch.

More to the point, it was built against the wishes of the citizens, who only caved in after being held hostage by the rancid Pat Bowlen, who had a temper tantrum and threatened to move the team if he didn't get his shiny thing.

The cadet I was with looked more closely at such attempts and commented that they weren't pulling mates off the road but were pulling food off the road; they were cannibal little bastards. After we figured that out, I tried to run over any prairie dog I saw. Unfortunately, we at the tail end of that group of prairie dog villages.

So he shows me the sights in SF back in the day; pier 39, the Coast Guard unit he served with before he went to USMA, etc. We found a store that sold bumper stickers; one such bumper sticker said "Caution: I speed up to run over small animals."

I bought it and put it on my car, along with my NY state plates and my USMA parking bumper sticker which has the Pallas Athena image on it. It's time for me to drive back along I-80 to get back for the summer influx of new cadets.

You were one of the people that wanted an update on my 3-day off road trip.

Day-1, i took a very low speed fall mid stream in a water crossing. Basically slipped on slimy moss in about 8" of clear flowing water. Front wheel caught a diagonal rut and followed it. Broke the left mirror. I was going through it with both feet down like trainin wheel for stability, but when the front wheel followed the rut in the rock, the bike fell on my leg, wrenched the coon dog shit out of my knee. Quads are swollen, sore, and can barely hold my weight when standing. I decided the prudent th___ to do was cut the trip short and come home, skipp___ the planned days 2 and 3.

If it had been just the mirror and not my knee too, i would still be out ther finishing day 3. Can't lift the bike if i dropped it again. Glad the guy that lived there was able to help me stand it back up.

Speed up to 65, pass everyone who promptly follow me at a distance so the cops pull my ass over instead of theirs. *I'm* looking ahead for prairie dogs, who can't really see me due to the glare of the setting sun. I see a prairie dog ahead, line the car up (lanes be damned), and try to run the little bastard over. Rinse and repeat. I get some and miss others, but anyone following me knows I'm trying to run them over.

After a while, I see that I'm out of the prairie dog village complex. Drop the speed back to 55, sit in the right lane, and watch those who followed me pass by. I'm there with my crew cut (have to look vicious for the new cadets, after all), dog tags hanging out (still wear them, btw) and wave to those who stare at the madman.

Anyway, anytime we have this picnic people knock over the signs advertising it. They have also gone over to the park and put down rude sayings outside the area we have it, original, thoughtful sayings such as " Nazis " or " Go eff yourselves"
A policeman makes his rounds but if given the current political climate I am asking for prayer for safety for all attending . The picnic is from 2-5 EST

After a while, you may or may not figure out that much vodka just makes you hung over with a ripping headache (assuming you stopping drinking due to sleep/pass out) while whatever drove you to drink that much is still there.

Been there, done that (smoking and vodka). Took 2 times to stop the smoking, took 2 times to stop the "you could drown me in a bathtub and I wouldn't know" level of vodka intake. The vodka bit required me to believe that I really wanted to live.

155 I never thought much of Wings live or on record, but this band, the one he's been playing live with for close to 25 years now? Holy smokes.

He was in another band before that, too wasn’t he?

Can you sign into your iCloud account with the new password?

If you can, this is what I would do:

Put a device passcode on your phone, make sure it works.

Try backing up your iPhone to your iCloud account. If that works, it proves they recognize each other

Try doing the software update on the phone if the above proceeds ok

159 Thanks for the posting on the Commodore 64 update. I remember it well!
Now, if only Atari would come out with an updated version of the ST, my happiness would be complete. I loved that machine, not least for the fact that it didn't have an MMU, which let me do pretty much anything I wanted, such as redirecting video memory to the heap so I could run a sort and watch memory being allocated and freed. In those pre-Internet days, hacking your own machine was a blast.

160 I still have a VideoToaster in an Amiga 2000 with monitor, mouse and keyboard. Used it 30 years ago (:-O) to make local commercials for cable TV. I fired it up three years ago and it works!
