I had to learn x86 assembly to detox from that old form of basic. It made learning modern languages difficult.

That is very interesting.
So assembly on commodore was really ugly then? How so?

It had already been a couple of decades by then so I didn't look at Commodores assembly.

Following close on the heels of OG's Useless IoT item of the weekend, for those that follow close on the heels I present;
Fashion WIFI Version Smart Led Dynamic Backpack[^]
A must have for all your back to schooler's. I can just imagine some of the graffiti that will be generated!
I may not be that good looking, or athletic, or funny, or talented, or smart
I forgot where I was going with this but I do know I love bacon!

How soon before ads will start appearing on these backpacks?

Actually since the display is only 64x64, Windows 10 would only have room for 1 icon - and nothing else!

I could think of an appropriate icon, one finger salute!

"Ads" are the least of the problems: it's "Nads" you want to worry about!

I agree it is a useless IoT, but part of me saw it and thought that would be a cool DIY project to play around with in my spare time.
Like what else could you make it do? Have it display a list of unsecured networks as you walk around town? Or have it look for discoverable devices on the same network and pop up a 'Hi [device name]! I can see all of your dirty pictures!' message... just don't have it display any of those images.

64 by 64 pixel display, so yes: 10 lines of 10 characters in a (very old fashioned) 5x5 character matrix.

It would be kinda fun to play with but in the hands of a teenager I could see it being hacked and a kid walking around sporting porn!

Oh wow! The nerds will have their day when the "cool" kids wear these things and a computer nerd will hack it to say "Kick me!"

I've never read 1984 but I've seen it mentioned and referred to many times here. I think I get the idea of what the book is about. So, I decided to buy it. US Postal tracking number says they tried to deliver it last Tuesday but at my request they are holding it. I did not request that. I contacted support via their web form Tuesday night and have not heard back from them.
Coincidence? Or do they not want me to read it?

The government doesn't want you to read it. The USPS is the goverment's propaganda delivery proxy.

Dang you. Another one I have not read, but probably should. Or should I?
