I wonder if anyone has made an FPGA core for a CPU that natively runs BASIC

@foone There have been rumours TI kind of tried to do that.

The 99/4 and 4a had an interpreted pseudo-assembly language called Graphic Programming Language (GPL). Console TI BASIC was mostly written in it (as were many cartridges) which was why it was so slow. It defined a few things in TI BASIC like how floating point numbers worked and some of the video routines, so it looked like something halfway between assembler and tokenised BASIC.

The rumour is that TI had wanted to make a processor that used GPL as its native machine code, instead of the 9900-based design they went with.

Fun fact: it turns out it doesn't matter if you have a 2.4 gigapixel camera if you LEAVE THE LENSCAP ON

@foone P&S cameras used to have built-in covers on their lenses. I've been kinda wondering why that seemed to have died.

I wonder how illegal it would be if you opened up a VHS rental store today, and had unofficial VHS copies of modern films, dubbed from either Netflix or uhd 4k blurays

@foone Exploiting the analogue loophole. Getting it downsampled to analogue might be fun, though. Do Blu-ray players with analogue outputs even exist?

The fact is many senior CTI analysts today started off as weebs mainlining off-label anime at 12yo, acquired from private DC++ servers hosting DivX telecine’d by a guy in Philly who worked odd jobs to buy a machine for a format that only existed in Japan for 18 months.

@SwiftOnSecurity I had to read that 3 times to get it and I'm still not entirely sure I did...
