And yes, of course, #NeoFinder 9.2 for #macOS will now be able to detect a disk as an SSD when you catalog it.

NeoFinder uses the same code that Apple uses in its "Disk Utility.app" to find out if a device is actually really an SSD.

Keeping money from going to the Harry Potter franchise isn’t just a symbolic gesture. It’s about preventing real harm to real people.

so I got laid off again, for stupid AI-pilled reasons.

Anybody need a writer or editor with:
- 8+ years of technical writer/content strategist experience, mostly in software
- One published short fiction anthology (as editor)
- A master's degree in sociolinguistics
- A knack for learning new content management systems
- A love of working with invested SMEs
- A basic understanding of web dev
- Strong boundaries
- An aversion to generative AI?

Prioritizing remote work in Canada.

In an alternate universe somewhere, nobody has heard of “webcomics.” Instead, there are thousands of “telecomics.”

In 1992, Don Lokke Jr. coined the term “telecomics” to describe his new digital comic strips, drawn primarily in the ANSI art format and distributed online through BBSes.

This is the final in-depth profile in my "ANSI art and webcomics" series!

Who else remembers when transparency used to convey meaning?

I will be speaking on retrocomputing this Thursday at the University of Utah with interactive demos of my vintage hardware. Come learn about our recovery of UNIX V4 and its history, and play with some '70s and '80s computers!

@here Ok, I'm going to make a plea.

The Apple II FujiNet's smartport interface behaves differently across firmware versions and smartport adapters.

We need help to understand _WHY_ and what we're falling short on.

We need people to help with a $10 USB logic analyzer and a copy of PulseView to compare the Unidisk 3.5 and other SmartPort devices against our firmwares, and see WHERE we are failing, to understand the timing tolerances, so we can figure out where to focus our efforts on the firmware code.

If you can help, please come to the Discord. https://discord.gg/2Ce9guX
