Use BlastEm, a Mega Drive/Genesis emulator by Michael Pavone whose nightly builds recently grew support for 32X, an accessory that bolts two SH-2 CPUs onto the Genesis.

If your web browser didn't store a session identifier in a small file called a cookie, how would Slashdot's server know that you're logged in as ArchieBunker (132337)? Otherwise, I'm not sure where you've mentally drawn a line between cookie storage and "a filesystem" proper.

I wouldn't mind if it were a static image, but it's that Gemini ad that's constantly writing and erasing text. It's definitely cut down how long I stay on the site.

Before Rust can save Linux from AI, wouldn't someone need to save Rust from AI first? The Open Slopware page claims that LLVM's LLM policy requiring a human in the loop is overly permissive.

No, those are the words of someone who has seen nothing but slop for more than a decade (OK, there were a couple of exceptions), and has reached the point where there is no expectation things will ever get better. I have also given up hope that Star Wars will ever be good again.

I expect your opinion, which I share, is a majority opinion. Star Wars is almost nothing but slop now.

The second link (pharmacyknowhow.com) redirected to an advertisement for "Lust Goddess", which appears to be a lewd video game. I opened the link again and it redirected to a page on Amazon selling a cultured pearl necklace.

Prescription medications sometimes do harm. Even so, many drugs prevent far more premature deaths than they cause. That's why we have national drug regulators: to evaluate evidence as to whether each new drug is safer on the whole than leaving the condition untreated.

The MPA member movie studios would probably withdraw their respective streaming services from Vizio's platform on grounds that a user-modifiable free operating system fails to satisfy the "compliance and robustness" rules of whatever digital restrictions management protocol they use.

First, the user needs to know that "a cheap little computer" exists and can be connected to a TV. Walmart and Best Buy haven't been doing a good job of marketing these to the public. Second, the user needs the spare time to learn to administer yet another computer. Third, the user needs to be satisfied with some services limiting streams to 480p because a desktop computer running Linux and Firefox has a low "integrity level" in Widevine.

It seems to me they could redirect the 10 figures a year they are spending on building a VR world no one wants or will use. Or did they cannibalize that already?

We get it. You don't like Beyonce. Neither do I, but I'm not making a scene over that fact.

Around 1990, I worked for a couple months on an embedded device that had an 80186 and a megabyte of RAM. At one point, I had access to a huge pile of 1MB SIMMs and took a stack home for the evening and using memory boards that allowed you to stack up to 8 of them into one SIMM slot in your computer to figure out just how little RAM Windows NT 3.5 really needed to boot. It booted successfully with 12MB of RAM. It really wasn't usable, but it did boot up. Nowadays, Windows is probably only marginally usable with 12GB of RAM.

One U.S. ISP that technically blocks inbound TCP over IPv6 is T-Mobile Home Internet (fixed wireless). The gateway appliance included with the plan offers no way to forward a port to the subscriber's computer. (Source) I've read that most major U.S. ISPs threaten to disconnect a home subscriber for running a publicly accessible server. (Source)

One large legacy network in the U.S. is Frontier fiber, which is still IPv4-only in 2026.

They work for Meta. I would expect them to be miserable.

The company has been dumping 10 figures a year into trying to build a VR world no one wants, with nothing to show for it after the better part of a decade. At some point, you expect morale to decrease.
