I'm pretty sure we can thank, not Trump (hard as that may be to accept), but Dubya Bush for the unblockable Presidential Alert part of the Emergency Alerts feature.

@maple I'm using a Java app for ZX81 tapes that lets you do that. I don't recall if such things exist for other cassette-based storage formats, but you're right; if they don't, they should.

Organizing cassette software in WAV files so I can load programs on stock 1981 computers from stock 2018 smartphones. Actually using them feels like using a magic fairy wand, but don't unplug the cord or you'll let out all the magic screeches.

INFOHAZARD WARNING 

@troubleMoney It's even worse than that. Someone actually ripped it & uploaded it to YT, & I just finished scanning it. There are only three frames of actual elf bowling shown in the entire 82 minutes of movie, & the first was accidental by the antagonist.
