I love that you took time to draw a blueprint. And of course, had to index it from 0.

Online Channel F Emulator (From 1976) (lemmy.world)
 

Hey everyone,

I love building emulators, especially of older systems. The Fairchild Channel F was the first console to include a removable ROM. The function of reading from memory was handled by the PSU (Program Storage Unit) rather than the CPU, which made it unique among chipsets.

My emulator runs entirely online. No downloading required. It should work on all modern browsers, both on desktop and mobile. On desktop you can use the numpad keyboard, and mouse. Note that only the right joystick works. Not the left.

My emulator does not contain ROMs in it, but it will open any ROM you pass in as a link. Below is a demonstration of all of the videocarts:

Is there a crate to use cosmic's widgets? (lemmy.world)
 

The default Iced widgets feel a bit lacking. I want to see if cosmic's widgets have a bit more functionality, or if they are just a theme change.

Your dog looked like it had two teeth tearing into your flesh with blood. Had to zoom in to see it was a tongue.

If warranties are for when things break on their own, and insurance is for accidents, then we should have a separate "warranty" for heart attacks vs "insurance" for trama in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

That's part of the warranty. Make it a free lifetime warranty.

What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Hospitals or healthcare insurance is so regulated?

you could go to a store, see a menu board and order an MRI with upfront pricing

Can you explain this? From what I understood, there is no upfront pricing because insurance companies are slow to provide a price. If there is no insurance company involved, then hospitals would be able to tell you the price.

Did you not have to pay a deposit for renting something?

This is why I bought/own my own modem and my own router, and I known that the modem doesn't come with an access point feature.
