Before IBM adopted the CD-ROM standard, it briefly backed the earlier Programmed Optical Storage (POS), a proprietary six inch optical disc system incompatible with 5.25" drive bays.

If you're a newer follower or just not familiar with Acronia, it's a side-scrolling run 'n' gun based on an old DOS prototype/demo of mine. It's inspired by Contra, Bio Menace, Rise of the Triad, and even a smattering of Commander Keen.
It ran in mode 13h: 320x200 resolution, with non-square pixels, and ran at only 35hz -- half the VGA's native framerate of 70.
It's gonna be fun to re-imagine for modern systems at 360p60.
Here is a new version of my OpenSCAD 3D-printable name badge, which adds better colour handling and a choice of lozengular, oval or elliptical bezels.

has anyone hacked the FCC and leaked all their confidential PDFs yet?
I'm not saying anyone SHOULD do that, or that I'm eagerly awaiting the collapse of the US government so that I can pick through the wreckage, but it would be nice for us reverse-engineers if someone would leak all these FCC PDFs that explain how shit works
it seems to be a clone of FCC ID 2AUSN-LXZK1021: LXZK-TX1021, a remote for lights, licensed in 2019
I googled it and found a couple other cases of people running into this kind of remote and getting confused because they're trying to decode the IR or replicate it and THERE IS NO IR, IT IS LIES
I don't think I can decode or replay the messages it's sending with this specific SDR, I'll have to borrow a different one from my sister for that
Huh. I just bought something that came with a fake infrared remote.
It looks like one, but the LED isn't the usual IR, it's just plain red.
And the remote works even if that LED is blocked.
This is an RF remote! Not an LED remote!

PRESCRIPTIONS:
a game for 4 people
Player 1 is the patient, who is having constant migraines.
Once per turn, they pick one of players 2-4, who represent the doctor's office, pharmacy, and insurance.
When players 2-4 are called, they flip a coin and blame the other players. if they blame a player which isn't the last one the patient talked to, they get a point.
the game ends when the patient gives up or dies. whoever has the most points, wins! player 1 cannot win
and the Child Online Protection Act of 1998.
Less pissed with the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000, but it's still on thin fucking ice
