xecaz··on My Microscope Is a Dashcam
I have taken all your feedback to heart. I have been very busy pushing stuff out and didn't care enough to actually make them worth reading. I figured the hard part was done and then just tossed out whatever blah claude summorized that. Going forward i will try harder to actually deliver them with a quality writedown. As for the style/css ill have a poke around and see what i can do about that. Thanks for being brutally honest, appreciated!

Hopefully an interesting read about overcoming all hurdles in serving 4 simulations zmodem connections on the Ultimate 64 Elite.
xecaz··on My Microscope Is a Dashcam
Reverse engineering my cheap Chinese microscope told me it rather identifies as a dashcam.
xecaz··on Dutch Train Map Simulator
Is this a joke? It's the worst station in Amsterdam, followed by Duivendrecht.

Love it, maybe a filter function to only home in on certain trajectories would be cool. Anyway, great work!!
xecaz··on Monkey Island for Commodore 64 Ground Up
I am assuming this will demand REU or an ultimate 64 to run it? Hard to believe they would be able to package this and make the game fluent without more ram.
xecaz··on The unlikely story of Teardown Multiplayer
Looking forward to play the MP version with my son who also loves the game. I worry that the game will get heavier and maybe no longer work of the steamdeck, will it?
xecaz··on How kernel anti-cheats work
While it's getting harder and more expensive to cheat in games, the people making money out of video games (cheat resellers, streamers and competitive gamers) regain that cash very fast if they can keep "preforming" on stream. I don't see this trend slowing down anytime soon, there is just too much money and interest in cheats.
xecaz··on Demos of 2025 from the Demoscene
I wish demo crews and their production got a larger spotlight than they currently do. I work with ~80 devs and most are surprised and mindblown when i show them some demo.

I also wrote a Android app that allows OTG connecting the WCH BLE Analyzer to a Android phone. Waiting for the OTG adapter to test it properly, if anyone is interested.

Just like Epstein, this process didnt hang itself.
xecaz··on Corruption Perceptions Index 2025
Same, but i assumed they managed to corrupt the corruption perception index too.
xecaz··on Automatic Epstein file downloader [video]
I also wrote an extraction tool that; extracts all pictures to files names associated with what pdf they came from ocr the jpg for text, and if more than 8 characters extracts the text to a txt file leaves the org files should you need to revisit them makes the dump searchable locally. Ill like the repo if anyone from the media is interested, but didn't have the manpower to do this manually.
xecaz··on Automatic Epstein file downloader [video]
DOJ have made it hard to download the epstein files by spreading it over hundred of pages in thousands of files. This little plugin download every single file, in a dump into a pre configured download folder. Will upload the plugin to Chrome Extensions as soon as i iron out some bugs i found, but it already working decent.

I suggest he takes his family to a safer place. It sucks that a country the world once saw as an ally are lining themselves with the dictatorships they once fought, but that's the last 20 years in a nutshell. Family should come first, ask him to leave.

1. If you watch the news, you would see this happening quite often in the US. From a European perspective we see this in the news. And the same pictures and clips are rolling on all channels. It's not a question if it's happening. What makes you question it? 2. If you read what he wrote he stated it was his friend, and what he is asking for is what kind of advise you can give someone in this situation. 3. US about to lose tech workers due to circumstances is not a political topic, but you are making it pretty clear where you stand.
xecaz··on Some Epstein file redactions are being undone
When i hack something, it generally takes a bit more than just copy pasting..
xecaz··on Pure Silicon Demo Coding: No CPU, No Memory, Just 4k Gates
Wow, nice work!! Coming from demo/intro coding where you have memory and a driver for audio(x86), this is very impressing.
xecaz··on X210Ai is a new motherboard to upgrade ThinkPad X201/200
Cool project, but if you can get the same spec'ed laptop with warranty on a slightly worse keyboard for less than this hack-job, i think i would prefer a new (thinkpad) laptop
