Here in #Boston everyone is getting multiple "extreme weather" alerts on their phones, but it's raining lightly and nothing scary is approaching on Windy 🤷

Disturbing sculpture in Central Park, #NYC.

Mildly annoying how that seconds hand lags behind a little 😒

The new Kendall T station entrance.

This area was totally transformed, and construction is still ongoing in front of Sloan. #boston #mit

@eskuero I'm using this nice GPU:

The motherboard is Intel though:

I could see why most #Linux users would choose #AMD GPUs over Nvidia, but didn't realize that AMD also caught up with Intel in terms of desktop CPU performance.

@penguin42 Did you reinvent std::span<T, SIZE> or std::span<T, std::dynamic_extent> ?

@donncha @bertspace I volunteered for One Laptop Per Child in 2007 because it was a promising opportunity to demystify computing for the next generation of coders.

#OLPC didn't reach the same scale of the #C64, but it was worth trying.

@confusedbunny Oh really? I was wondering why they didn't use XAD 🙂

Thank you for the info, I'll try to figure out what went wrong when I reconnect the Sam at home.

On my last attempt today, AmiUpdate had forgotten all update servers, and I couldn't figure out how to restore them.

On the return flight, I read a few forum threads, and it seems I should check the contents of the SiteList file.

The C64 Mini (left) and its new sister, The A500 Mini (right). Both super cute.

This particular C64 Mini had a functional keyboard, which must have required a crazy amount of work 😲

Next, I run AmiUpdate, which self-updates and then shows several years worth of updates for various apps, including the web browser and AmiSSL. I need this update for compatibility with websites which have disabled older TLS versions.

Unfortunately, most updates failed because I didn't have LHA, the de-facto standard archiver for Amiga software.

So I download LHA for PPC from Aminet, but... it's an lha archive too! 😭

Meanwhile, I managed to get AmigaOS 4.1 online.

The TCP/IP stack seems quite buggy, at least the configuration interface. There are better alternatives for the classic m68k Amiga, but on PowerPC I'm stuck with what's bundled with the OS 😒
