We can modify the code. I'll do that do that http:// and https:// are treated the same.

  I really had no business posting the http version. I should be better, I get excited to share articles I read with my fellow stop bits.
  Would it be too much of an ask to style http articles differently so we know what’s safe(r) to click ?

    I guess we could do that.

And AT codes are alive and well inside your phone today. It's likely the software is talking to the baseband using them.

It takes over the bus inside the Vectrex and forces a HALT on its processor. That way the Pi can completely control the Vectrex.

  So its a demonic posession. Interesting.

Nooooo! Somebody save me! I've been tempted over and over again to buy a Vectrex because they are so great and now this. However will I ever resist the temptation? :-)

  I just bought an OG Tempest like DavePl has. I’m at my lifetime vector machine limit. I don’t see Vextrex come up for sale in Canada very often. Are they common in your area ?
  - nickt 641 days ago
    That's a neat solution. I spent enough on Tempest as a kid I should've probably just done what you have years ago. Then just a sit-down Star Wars, Asteroids, obviously Battlezone and then my other massive consumer of 10p pieces - Lunar Lander.
    I wonder what a vector future would have looked like if raster hadn't won?

That brings back memories. I did a lot of work on Novell IPX/SPX and VINES was one of the competing technologies. Ultimately, TCP/IP won.

  The young'uns today spoiled with their Ethernet and TCP/IP! I have this T-Shirt (this is the one at the CHM), but it reminds me what internetworking was all about in the 90's. I remember listenening to the clicks in the Token Ring MSAU's and learning all about DEC LAT at 0200 on a Friday morning while in the SBC office in London...
