Going through a box of floppies to check which still work and which don't. I'll keep just a few working ones to work in the Amiga and Alpha, dump the bad ones and donate the remaining working ones to Re-PC.

It is 2026 and glibc's longjmp still doesn't execute finalizers when truncating the stack.

Chrome and Edge share the web/JS engine but does that extend to PDF engine? To be honest, I only ever install Chrome on test devices... My main beef with Edge's PDF is the mediocre nav. Can't even 'back' a hyperlink.

@firefox.com is a great PDF reader. It can sync the TOC and navigate hyperlinks just fine. It can deal with the Arm ARM's 102 MiB file much better than Adobe's own reader which is a resource hog and is always trying to sell you something.

Q: "Hey Siri, what is the driving distance between Tacoma and Kirkland both in Washington". A: "I need to know your location. Please enable Siri access to location on your settings app." So... why do you need my current location to answer that question?

.NET Lab can now display disassembled machine code. It's taken directly from JIT, hence only supported on desktop for now. #dotnet #csharp #roslyn #asm #dotnetlab

Good news. In VS 2026 Preview /Oy- is now the default, even in the "Release" configuration. This is the case at least for new projects. Glad to see this finally fixed.

In case you had missed it - I had. VirtualBox now supports Windows on Arm. blogs.oracle.com/virtualizati... Not a bad alternative to the departed Windows Services for Android.

Now this is something unexpected: Tahoe's new "Apps" pannel behaves worse than Windows start menu. It is sluggish, at times downright unrespinsive, some UI elements just don't work... it is me or "26" is just not Apple's number?!

Please, debug card manufacturers: Stop using micro-USB for UART ports. Just stop it. Really! No more. Please! There is this thing called USB-C now - been here for a while. Pretty solid. Give micro-USB honorable fairwell. Please!

When there are all adults in an adult setting it is weird to ask where the "potty" is. You ask for the "bathroom", or some other adult word for it. Same goes for an engineer to say "BSOD". The word is "Bugcheck".

Seriously, Governors, think about this: What if you start prorating decreases in federal funding into captivations from federal taxes?

Pedro Justo @itanium.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

If the gov stays shutdown till April, does that mean I don' have to pay federal taxes?

Here is my updated TF-A + EDK2 for QEMU. It enables running Windows and Hypervisor under TCG. The package includes my startup script plus a sample OS image. Use with QEMU 10.1.0. With this you can do everything I demoed on the Linaro Connect keynote. 1drv.ms/u/c/a075d439...

Rendered this in 1997, using an Amiga 4000/030. The rendering process took 2 days, plus about a day to produce the MPEG file and add the titles and credits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EopV...

Before Blender and Maya, Newtek's LightWave was the king 3D gfx software. Initially for the Amiga and then ported all the way to Windows NT for Alpha.

Windows can run on it fine if you exclude/block the little cores (the A520s). In fact, this system is SBSA Level 6 compliant (with the same exception - exclude the little cores).
