Me too, but it is so unreliable laggy, I sometimes have to wait 2 secs or more for the menu to appear, ruining the flow.

And typing ALT 0151 to get an em dash, I mean seriously?

For someone typing accents and em + en dashes on purpose — well before it becomes an AI’s trait — it’s so infuriating, I can’t believe people type books on Windows. All this while macOS solved this, built in the OS, since ages now…

The first video mentionned (in French) generalises about AR/VR AND provides interesting insights when reframing the AVP in this context.

Thanks for sharing!

Some French people spent the time to digitize an impressive amount of French magazines: https://www.abandonware-magazines.org/

I don’t know for other countries though.

Holographic display projected from whatever wearable: watch, ring, earring, glasses...

You don’t “hold” anything, you interact freely with a screen that appears floating in front of you.

Hey, the projection could be applied directly into your own eye, as only you could see it (or eyeDrop — pun intended — with others ?)

Good luck with that, but hey, Clarke’s 3rd law:

Memory lane: the same Tenochtitlan was reconstructed in VRML back in the late 90’s…

The city that never ends getting reconstructed, in a way!

Yes and no: despite the very visible inspiration it's rather NOT coming from the game anymore, as stated in the https://space-invaders.com/about/ section:

  This said, my initial source of inspiration was the Space Invaders and a few other video games but I have rapidly developed new models and created totally original icons.

I remember he also said before that was an effort to avoid any copyright infringement. Taito seems to be pretty nice with him though, which is not granted these days!

Communicating by fear in non-dangerous contexts is a bad sign of an attempt to manipulate you.

I note it applies to just everything, as long as you have these number of different roles in the added value chain.

I read them, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I experienced the same re criticism.

I’m unsure about the diversity questions in the application form though. Do you think your new answers would have changed your outcome ?

I added one such a switch.

Basically, grounding a pin of the external floppy drive connector (if memory serves) would make the ST read the OTHER side of the single-sided floppy disk of the INTERNAL drive.

This is because some floppies were formatted in single-side mode, and as a result using half of the maximum possible space. Think B-side of vinyl disks, literally.

The switch let you use the other side, provided you formatted it (and beware of the switch position to not mess up at formatting time…)

Many commercial softwares (incl. games) were using that single-side mode for backward compatibility reasons: I believe an early version of the ST serie was using an internal floppy drive only capable of single-sided usage. Hence the legacy.

My switch was really a simple switch I had around, combined with an hairpin directly plugged into the connector.

First hardware hack!
