Here's a quick look at the Memorex VIS, which stood for "video information system" and not "very impossible to sell." It was merely nearly impossible to sell. It had next to no games in a sea of edutainment software. The wireless controller is as bad as you might imagine.

As a youngster around 1990 I started working on the first Dutch TV show that was completely created using a computer. An Amiga to be specific.

The show was called Mannetje & Mannetje, and featured a low-resolution mix of digitized photographs and drawn elements.

The magenta color was used for keying, using a Genlock device to record the footage to analog storage for broadcasting.

Good news everyone, MS-DOS is not affected by the #WebP image vulnerability!

All other operating systems and software you can think of (browsers, messengers, anything Electron-based, drawing programs, e-mail clients, etc. etc.) are so be sure to update everything you have.

If a program got a "performance improvements and bug fixes" update just after the 12th of September then it probably was vulnerable to this.

@nina_kali_nina @mcc Ah it's a shame it didn't actually get finished/published but it's neat that this still exists in this form
