@lupyuen@qoto.org i had (and still have) pravetz-8d, which was based on 6502 again, but it was oric atmos clone.

@lupyuen@qoto.org i love it. it showed us that it is an affordable (well, it was not that affordable for us, and even if one had money it was very hard to find a computer to buy in ussr), but it showed us power of computing.

@lupyuen Funny thing though; I don't really play chess (well, I have an account and I am unbeaten on chess.com), not since I was little. But I like to watch Levi Rozman (GothamChess) in his various types of reviews (Guess the Elo, tournament reviews, looking at low ELO chess,...).

It is entertainment, but it doesn't slow boil the brain into a moosh...

@lupyuen Ah so the Mathematics involved is starting to show. Perhaps next up is proof.

@lupyuen It's rather odd that attempts are continually made to make weapon systems like these. A Threat Detection System integrated into an optic could have a more positive effect.

Assuming that both technologies would be used by police, the latter could prevent tragedies. The problem with the biometric systems is that they can't be relied upon. A flimsy laptop is consumer grade but military and police use Toughbooks.

It's really interesting news for Embedded Systems but certain smartphones have similar systems that have proven to be unreliable or easily defeated.

To be fair, it is rather cool to see. A violent force being exerted on electronics and the connectors could lead to more reliable connector designs and more reliable electronics. I can't think of a better proving ground than this.
