When I made it I also found a bug in the xattr implementation for Darwin and submitted it to Apple, they eventually fixed it.

Pretty neat but I don’t love the price. I got a real working C64 for $100, and a turbo chameleon that can bring all the fpga benefits and connectivity for less.

I also wonder whose fpga core they are using and if they licensed it or not.

Fun fact not mentioned in the article is that nano descends from pico which emerged from being the default editor in the email client pine.

This bugged me for reasons I can’t quite explain. I think it’s that I can write and edit the command before making the modification and the ease of going back and reusing a historic search and replace relatively easily.

Back when I played we used biodegradable pellets.

How much of it is insured?

A lot of quacks online are saying it could be, or by proxy that “it’s like nothing we’ve ever seen”
