How to say "gag order" in legalese:
"Capgemini determined that the customary legal restrictions imposed for contracting with federal government entities carrying out classified activities in the United States did not allow the Group to exercise appropriate control over certain aspects of the operations of this subsidiary,"

~Let's make 30-year-old pocket organiser Casio Business Navigator BN-20 run some new software, part 4~

Recap of the previous episodes: our friend gave us a pocket organiser. As it happens, the organiser is based on Intel 8086-compatible core. It is related to Casio Pocket Viewer series, but unlike the PV, it doesn't have a way to "side-load" the applications.

So far we've dumped the ROM and tried to use it with Casio PV SDK. PV is compatible enough to kick-start the boot process, but the simulated OS crashes before it can even draw anything.

One interesting lead I decided to follow was the discrepancy between the CPU models in BN-20 and PV series: BN-20 runs on NC3020, and PV runs on NC3022. The documentation for Casio PV SDK mentions that a publicly-available simulator for NC3020 was a thing, too.

Can we find it? Can we run it? Yes we can!

Uninstalled from my phone because they added ads and whatnot. Not opposed to paying for a launcher but that rollout gave me bad vibes.

Would prefer a reliable alternative. I mainly liked Nova because of the dock and I found it easy to customize. I'm definitely not a power user.

But looked in the F-Droid store and there are WAY too many launchers, lol.

What FOSS launchers have folks found useful on ? (I'm running )

> Autoscaling is a solution to the self-inflicted problem of insanely-high cloud prices, which cloud providers love because implementing it requires more reliance on proprietary vendor-specific APIs. The actual solution is a handful of modern bare-metal servers at strategic locations which allow you to cover your worst-case expected load while being cheaper than the lowest expected load on a cloud. Upside: lower prices & complexity. Downside: say goodbye to your AWS ReInvent invite.

I think I have a phone addiction. Am I constantly on my smartphone
doomscrolling news/socials? Not at all, I often leave the thing untouched for days and don't have traditional social media. Am I constantly chattering on various calls racking up the phone bill? Nope, 5 minutes calltime a month is probably already a gross overestimate. Glued to my phone in public transport? No, I look out the window. Then what is the problem? I keep buying second hand phones to try and on !!
