After playing through The Crimson Diamond by @JuliaMinamata, I just had to see the game's gorgeous EGA artwork on a real CRT! So I took a couple screencaps from the game, nearest neighbor scaled them down and cropped them to 320x200, converted to PCX and copied them over to my IBM PC/AT on floppy disk. This is a real EGA monitor and you can see the beautiful scanlines. Now I can imagine what it'd be like to play the game on an old PC back in the day. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/The_Crimson_Diamond/

Printer refused to print until I'd changed the cyan toner - even though I specifically requested a monochrome print.

Good: Links LS runs on my Toshiba Libretto!
Bad: Links LS requires a screen res of 800x600, and the Libretto only does 640x480. So all the UI (swing meter and all) is pushed off screen where I can't see to click on it.

every ROM of the Arabic MSX clone the Sakhr computer has been dumped and emulated, available in the browser at https://www.file-hunter.com/Arabic/
not sure if ive shared this before but its an incredible resource
Got this neat guy for 5 USD at a Goodwill - they'd put it out in the Toys section. It's a Phillips Nino 500, running Windows CE 2.11, from 1999. Amazingly it still boots as soon as I've got batteries in it, and even communicates with my other WinCE device, but its lack of Windows Explorer makes installing software very difficult, as it can't show me the contents of internal storage or of the inserted CF card. I need to figure out how to Active Sync it - which means finding a cable that works. ๐

Confirmed what I thought: My #Quicktake for #Apple II decoder is faster than Apple's on a maxed-out SE/30.

in which I embark on The Caves of Olympus, a very unconventional Apple II adventure game (pixels instead of vectors! the main character is a 50 centimeter tall robot!) published by a company previously known for technical books

So that's that: Firefox is now the only useful browser in the world.
Meanwhile, Google controls nearly the entire web browser market, far more than Microsoft ever did at the height of the original browser wars.
Using Chromium based products makes you less safe.
