I love the inconsistency between "I don't have time to learn DCS" and "so I'll spend two years reverse engineering an old DOS game instead" :)

Good articles, I agree that there isn't enough technical articles about reverse engineering like this, it's an interesting hobby.

For Sweden in addition to what's stated above, if the reason for being fired is downsizing of lack of work, the law for employment protection (LAS) also states that the people laid off have to be in the reverse order of their hiring. To the latest to be hired is the first to let go.

Exceptions can be made if justified, not dug into the details of how that works.

It looks like a 1990s webpage with modern visual design made for children. I kept waiting for the <blink> marquee and the "under construction" gif to show up as I was scrolling through.

Utterly useless.

Recapping is mostly nonsense, there are however some devices out there with electrolytic caps that are known to leak. Some old Amiga and Macs have these issues for example.

From there it seems to have spread out into a "recap everything" craze that is just silly.

Absolutely fantastic place that I also recommend to anybody interested.

So nice that the machines are out, powered on and ready to be tinkered with. Sit down and relive the old days by hammering out some 6502 assembly or something :)

Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension. I couldn't live without it.

I usually put it as "Deep inside windows is a really beautiful OS just screaming to be let out from under all that junk on top."

The NT kernel isn't that bad, different from unix for sure but still good. It then just keeps getting progressively worse as you go upwards in the stack from there.

I can't say for the other Nordic countries, but this statement is utterly wrong as far as Sweden is concerned.

The Swedish monarch has no power at all in the Swedish Grundlag (constitution). He is the titular head of state, holds a few honorary military titles and opens the government every year.

It's a marketing function, nothing more. He has no power over the election process, legal system etc.

Not always the case. At the European company I work there are many rules and regs on who can legally access employees email, depending on the country of the employee. Luxembourg and the Netherlands can be really tricky for example and they are not the only ones.

It's not automatically solely owned by the company.

There's articles all over the Internet on how to remove/disable the speaker on airtags. Doesn't look to hard to do either, no hardware sensing if this is the case so it just keeps on working.

The AmigaOS ABI was really designed for the m68k, it leverages registers as much as possible. Pass variables in data registers, pointers in address registers. A4 for local data, A6 for the library pointer, results in D0.

That said, most library routines would then store the register contents on the stack and restore on return so not sure it's more efficient for memory access etc.

The m68k is the most CISC of ISAs I've seen, you have plentiful addressing modes and register orthogonality. It had adressing modes to do auto postincrements/predecrements, indirect indexed accesses and all sorts of fun.

From this day on, letters are banned. All posted material must be on post cards so that any and all can inspect them in case you are being naughty.

Funny how we've gone from court order to intercept somebodies mail to this...
