As if nothing what he did before did not break all kinds of tradition, norms, and laws. This is not the first and not the last unethical thing you’ll hear from Trump. He simply has no ethical gene in his body.

I think one can simply replace “Reddit” with “online” here. They might have done their studies on Reddit, but I expect the same behavior in any online place.

Reminds me of a visit to a British castle. Parking was inside the grounds, and there were two picnic areas. One close to the parking lot, one rather far away. Our (local) friends decided on a picnic spot at the far end, and I went all the way to the car to get the stuff.

On my way to the car I saw a single family setting up their lunch on the picnic place next to the parking lot and grumbled why we could not have used this spot instead.

On my way back, I learned why. The family with the little kids were sitting on the blanket, besieged by the duck Mafia from the nearby pond who demanded their share.

If this is a position of the legislative, how can he fire that person?

It is high time to actively suspend the White House. That right is older than your country!

Putin does everything to destabilize the west this way. It is cheaper for him to find idiots to do his dirty work in the west than to attack us.

Unlikely. It is spelled “Colour” on the box, implying this would be for the UK market.

Start with googling “pong chip”. There is a Wikipedia article about it, and then look for the chips “name” AY-3-8500, under which you will find lots of information about this chip.

This shows a number of things. First, how barbarian and backwards death penalty is. Second, Americans are not even good at shooting.

You’re welcome!

It basically tells you that you can basically tone the “colourness” (i.e. the brightness of the colours) up and down, which was a normal control (like brightness and contrast) back then. This is not about being able to make a red playing field green by some setting on the TV. You just had some potentiometers to play with the pre-amplification of the luminance and colour signals.

What could be in the instructions would an explanation of the games telling you that e.g. the playing field is green and the ball is red or somesuch, then they actually did a (rare) “colour implementation” of the circuit.

If you are interested, there is a number of interesting documentations on this pong chip on the net.

I wonder about the “Colour”. Did they actually use the different video outputs of the AY-3-8500 chip for controlling different colour signals instead just joining them as a luminance signal?

For those too young to know: The AY-3-8500 (or AY-3-8500-1 fo NTSC) chip is at the heart of almost all of those pong-type consoles. It has a number of different (but synchronized) video outputs for left player, right player, ball, numbers, and playing field, and most consoles just or’ed them together into luminance (Y) to make a simple B&W image. You could route some signals to the R-Y and/or the B-Y signal to give them some basic color, e.g. if you sent the “ball” signal both to the luminance and the red (R-Y) channel, you would get a red ball. All this needs are a handful of simple logic gates.

Just a friendly gesture among right-wing autocrats.

It is fun to see that the little plus they made came from regulatory credits, i.e. emission trade. Which is likely to be chopped under Trump for being woke in the highest.

What a missed opportunity.

You might have missed the point that this statistic includes central Asia for some strange reason. Western Europe has way less cases, and nearly all of them in Romania.

Did he make the grave mistake to investigate into Tesla-related problems?

The good thing is that most of those “arcane magic things” in the terminal can simply be copied and pasted into said terminal. Whereas finding an obscure option on a windows program setting three requestors and five buttons deep is a nightmare, especially if your UI is not set to English.

For them, adding the AI is probably cheaper then fixing the UI.
