Where is my $500,000 I spent 186 days in 8x10 cell with someone I never met before, with no privacy, eating, sleeping, shitting, and no visitors and worse food, this challenge is luxury living.
The thumbnail is not even the room they are in, the place is amazing in size and space.

‘Osama Bin Lager’ beer sells out after going viral, forces brewery to shut down website.
Is it ale Qaeda?
A UK brewery found itself embroiled in controversy when an Osama Bin Laden-themed beer sold out after going viral online.
“We’ve woken up the last couple of mornings with thousands and thousands and thousands of notifications,” Luke Mitchell, owner of the Mitchell Brewing Co in Billinghay, Lincolnshire, told the BBC of the insane demand.
Cleverly dubbed Osama Bin Lager, the “dark” beer’s label features a cartoonish caricature of the notorious Al Qaeda leader, who was killed by Navy Seals in 2011.
Photos of the inflammatory ale quickly blew up online, causing it to sell out so quickly that brewery staffers had to unplug their phones and shutter the website due to the “crazy” demand.

UNITED STATES: The Associated Press reports the number of Americans who use marijuana almost every day has 'surpassed the number who drink that often', with an estimated 17.7 million people using it 'daily or near-daily' in 2022, compared to 14.7 million daily or near-daily drinkers.

Eric Schmidt says the most powerful AI systems of the future will have to be contained in military bases because their capability will be so dangerous.
You know the funny thing a long time ago back when computers first started being a thing, the large early tech companies never wanted more than a dozen or so huge powerful mainframes and have everyone connected to it via dumb terminals.
Then along came the cloud and faster internet and again big tech companies were trying to get everyone onboard with dumb Chromebooks and everything running in the cloud.
Now here we are again the same idea, but with AI with it being so powerful we can only have a dozen or so AI mainframes and everyone connects to it via dumb chatbots.

strange how the memory gets filled up with just typing in H=346764563534535346327263547254763264727335672367357427354734547234673547236476547 then pressing enter and then typing in A=A/ and pressing enter a second time.
if the first line too short, the crash doesn't work.

I tried to make my games playable on my website with JS99er, but failed to parameterize them in size and limiting functionality. If you succeed in this area, I would be interested in your results.
i might be able to help with this, what is your website? and what are your games? you just want only them to run and of course without the toolbar,debugger, and options to change things?
i should have time this weekend to help you out on this, by then I will be more familiar with this updated version, as i now got it running locally on both my windows subsystem for linux and regular windows as well.

Another thing, every time after a new build after a git pull, I have to copy over extended_basic.rpk from the dist\assets\software folder to the dist\assets\carts folder.
Many thanks for your help, i finally got it at least installed and localhost serve version running, and even the web build version working locally, now i have to look at updated typescript source and look at some functions i want to change for my own development purposes, i got that working a bit with the old outdated javascript one, so it should not be too hard to mirror over the changes i want.

Angular Material 14 is annotated as being dependent on Angular 14 or 15, but it works fine with 16, so just use --force. At some point I will have to address this.
The dependency on extended_basic.rpk in the carts folder is a mistake that I will fix.
many thanks for your replies, i was able to get it working locally finally, now i have to sit down at figure out a few out things.

I suppose the IDE.Time clock function is dead in the water considering it's been 3+ years now.
i am slowly getting around to getting back myself into the boot/menu ros/cfg software of things, and I will look into the IDE time clock function for sure, sadly I don't have IDE yet (but will be buying one soon enough).
i also am planning on releasing in the next couple of months my RAMOS Directory, which was designed to be better overall replacement for the original BOOT/MENU complete with 80column support, IDE,SCSI,HFDC,PGram,PopCart support and more.
QuoteRAMOS Directory was written as an updated MENU program to replace the common used BOOT program supplied with ROS v8.14 software for the Horizon RAMDISK.
But RAMOS is totally 100% new Assembly Code, produced with the help at time of the 9T9 Assembly SIG from the 9T9 Toronto Users Group, and it makes use of not just large RAMDISK’s, but also fully supports HFDC and full 16 banks of GROM Cartridges like the POP-Cart and other large GRAM devices, plus of course 80-column mode.
Again this program has been recently been recovered, thanks in part of some ex-OPA employees saving TI99 stuff for no reason, and as such we are now working on updating to support Nano-PEB and CF7+ usage and plan to make it one of our ‘public’ releases later on during year 2024 as part of our re-birthing fun!

I noticed this only works in the command prompt level, if you enter the statements with line numbers and run the program, there is no crash.
Also i notice after it crashes it enters into editor mode with the line number of 0 which of course you can't get out of since the line number is wrong, so anything you type after that comes with bad line number error statement, and then it goes right back into you trying to edit line number 0.
i haven't try it on real-hardware, but it crashes in classic99 and js99 the same way.
EDIT: tried it on my QI v2.2 console in TI BASIC and it crashes the same way. Noticed also after it crashes the key scan is a lot slower, takes more effort to type something when it sitting at the line number 0 blinking waiting for input, and if you fill up a line fully after that, and press enter instead of getting bad line number and returning to edit line 0, it crashes totally, no more typing.

The Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Raspberry Pi is now set for June 2024, and $40 million is expected to be raised.
The confirmation was published by the London Stock Exchange, itself likely delighted to be listing the company considering the fall of its share of funds raised in IPOs in Europe.
According to the filing, the net proceeds from that $40 million will be used for engineering capital expenditures, making the supply chain more resilient and "other general corporate purposes."
The $40 million will consist of existing shares sold by certain shareholders, including a subsidiary of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and new shares to be issued by the company. At the time of the original announcement, Pi supremo Eben Upton paid tribute to the Foundation and said, "This IPO brings the opportunity to double down on their outstanding work to enable young people to realise their potential through the power of computing."
Upton added: "We've hugely appreciated their support on our journey so far and are delighted that the Foundation will remain a major shareholder."
Today's confirmation also states that Arm Technology Investments has entered into a separate cornerstone investment agreement to purchase $35 million shares in the IPO. Lansdowne Partners (UK) LLP has agreed to purchase up to a maximum of $20 million shares. Both are existing shareholders in the company; Arm snagged a minority stake in 2023.

Many thanks for explaining it to me. Will try to finish setting it up today then using the --force option. Much appreciated your hard work and amazing updates to this emulator setup.

TIcoins should have limited supply ... only 99 of them ... but with eight decimals?
Maybe with 16 decimals as we are 16bits.
That would be enough currency supply.

In the source dir you have to run npm install --force
In the root dir you run ng build --configuration production
Ok. I will try that out tomorrow. And report back on how I made out with it finally running.
Is there a way not to use --force ? As it's not mentioned that it's needed. Is it because my angular is too new? Or is something else causing the error.

Long before the era of AI chatbots... We had Sam as "Rent-A-Friend"... Anyone here remember him?
In the late 1980s, a unique and somewhat quirky concept emerged to combat loneliness: "Rent-A-Friend." This VHS tape was designed to provide companionship to those who felt isolated or lonely. The idea was simple but novel: a video featuring a friendly, engaging person who would talk directly to the viewer, simulating a personal interaction.
The star of the "Rent-A-Friend" VHS was Sam, a warm and personable character who would engage in friendly conversations, ask questions, and offer supportive comments. The tape was structured to make the viewer feel like they were having a genuine conversation with Sam, who would talk about a variety of topics, from everyday life to hobbies and personal interests.

Oh nice! Can you provide a link or two? Do they have any place to read about their work other than "the service formally known as Twitter"?
I had someone decap the 9918A and make high resolution die photos for me (posted to whtech), however I have not had the time to learn how to reverse the polygons accurately enough to make any confirmations. I can see a lot of the big features, registers and such, but otherwise I need to level up my skills (any buy more time, which is currently trading at $1M per share, which is too expensive for me).
Currently, it is only on twitter, and most of the posts are in Korean, but the GitHub will slowly be updated as each section is figured out.

TI BASIC Bug - crashes, crazy sprites, and a possible jailbreak ?
in TI-99/4A Computers
Posted · Edited by Gary from OPA
The thing is it's not really using much memory. It seems to be issue with the input editor command prompt mode without a running a actual large program.
All you got to do is type z$=" followed by string of 60 chars " press enter and then type in a invalid math formula like a=a/ and press enter and bang you have crashed.
It seems that with any previous input of longer than 60 characters and then incomplete math statement causes the buffer to overflow and change the sprite table.
