Apparently it's an AMD Artix 7.

Rust in peace

If the 6th-century plague was called the Justinian Plague, after the ruler of the empire whose end it marked, this would be the Trumpian Plague.

It appears to be a FPGA-backed device with a C64 core. I wonder if it’d be capable of running cores simulating more powerful systems as well, though if the keyboard layout is just the old-school C64 one, it may be awkward to use.

People aged more rapidly back then

The UK’s nuclear arsenal is still dependent on the US for maintenance, with warheads going to North Carolina periodically.

The new strategic nukes Starmer is ordering will be tied into the US infrastructure, as are the F-35s to launch them, though given the last-resort nature of nuclear weapons, their actual purpose may be to keep Trump onside politically while Britain’s everyday military capabilities integrate more closely with its European neighbours.

A 53-year-old, to be precise

Apparently the Argentine equivalent is something like “take your hat off, you’re not in this photo”

“meat” is descended from a Germanic word that just meant food, which is still evident in cognates in other languages (i.e. “mad” in Danish) and archaic words like “sweetmeats”

And throw away the key

Least surprising revelation ever.

The City of London is the one square mile in the centre that consists mostly of office space, at a fairly high density, and not the entirety of London. Bicycles outnumbering cars there is just common sense, and shouldn’t be remotely controversial. (Parking there would probably be a massive headache, for one.)

With other boroughs of London, it’s a lot more varied. Westminster and Chelsea, for one, is very different, with its council vetoing bike lanes the Greater London council planned to run through it, as its wealthy residents don’t want them taking road space away from their Land Rovers and Porsche Taycans or bringing the wrong kinds of people through their neighbourhoods.
