A rather intense rainbow on this afternoon's dog walk rising above the Victorian townhouses of Park Terrace in the West End of Glasgow.

Frogger running on my Atari 800 emulator! The developers made such good use of the hardware - a mix of player/missile graphics (e.g. snakes) and character graphics being moved using fine scrolling capabilities. Display lists enable different color schemes at each row. Kind of an ideal platform for this game.

My rust language based Atari 800 emulator is now capable of running quite a few games.

Court Filings: ICE Uses “Mobile Fortify” To Identify Protesters — Global Entry and PreCheck Get Revoked

ICE is using a smartphone app called “Mobile Fortify” to scan faces and capture contactless fingerprints, instantly pulling back names and biographical data — and court filings say the same encounters are being followed by revocations of Global Entry and TSA PreCheck. That turns “trusted traveler” into chilling of speech. DHS runs both the surveillance and the program, and being “under investigation” can be enough to lose your status even if protesting itself cannot legally be a disqualifier.

Frogger doesn't look quite right 🙃 but it doesn't crash, and all the obstacles animate.

Progress on the Atari 800 emulator I started working on years ago. Once I got the OS startup debugged and the memo pad functioning, BASIC worked perfectly on the first attempt.
