I'm glad I read Next by Michael Crichton, or I might never have heard the story of Henrietta Lacks.
Not that I've had the need luckily but I've been wary of having so much as a blood test since then.
Re:Ask HN: What older games are you playing through?
on Wednesday April 17, 2024 @08:44AM (#40063838)
Not playing as such, but currently attempting to remake an old CD-i game (Laser Lords) so I'm using it as reference, and also experimenting with extracting assets from other CD-i titles.
Uploaded quite a few bits to The Spriter's Resource, for anyone with an interest.

Don't suppose you have any links to any useful resource/tools for disassembling an old CD-i game that would have been written in C for the 68000 on Microware OS-9? I've got so far with ghidra but the OS-9 plugins available are either outdated or don't fully handle the instruction set for OS-9.
If I can add any more info, let me know.

Is there a good explainer on why this is actually happening?
Can't get my head round how it only affects 911 (000) calls, no expert on telephony networks but my naïve assumption would be that if I can call a normal landline/mobile then an emergency call would work just the same.

It does this under the guise of protecting you from certain content, like an nsfw post will require you to download the app, although I think you can get round that using the old. prefix rather than www

Small idea, no idea how useful if at all but maybe it could be a simple page with a list of reasons why the sender likes the recipient, and/or a YouTube playlist of songs that remind them of the recipient etc

I'm like this with peppers, love them raw when they're nice and crispy but hate them cooked because they become soggy almost. So I guess it's more of a texture than a taste thing.

No idea of the costs, so forgive me if it's not reasonable, but couldn't you get a second device to experiment with? Perhaps secondhand?

Depends on your domain/dns provider, I use cloudflare so I can add an API key to the config in certbot and the DNS updates are automated then.

Ubisoft is launching Ubisoft+ on Stadia, available in beta in the US now.
Capcom had RE Village on there same day as the other stores.
EA are also releasing games on there.
So it seems at least some of the big publishers aren't that against the idea.
