Re: Living without a personal smartphone

I don't know which doctor you're referring to, but you had to look awfully hard to try to find something to discredit the article, Andrew Wakefield , the "doctor" who famously faked the results of a study in an attempt to promote the new (more expensive) mercury-free vaccines produced by ...

Re: Living without a personal smartphone

Here's another page I came across last week: ...The "resources" page on that site links to a former doctor who lost his license after he was caught publishing falsehoods in order to boost profits for Big Pharma. I thought you didn't trust the corrupt pharmaceutical industry? I don't know ...

Re: Living without a personal smartphone

@unregistered: Even without camera or microphone, your phone's location is being tracked and recorded all the time.  They know exactly where you've gone, what route you took to get there, how fast you went at various points, etc..  Even if you turn off the GPS, the cell sites use triangulation to ge...

Re: new technologies for developing on NES

I'm perceiving that a lot of people just turn glassy-eyed if I give a lot of links; so I'll just add this one this time, of a relatively recent lecture I came across a couple of days ago, with slides from many studies: Giving a lot of links is perfectly fine as long as they're links to the actual s...

Re: new technologies for developing on NES

I'm very interested in seeing the documentation on the dangers of non-ionizing radiation.

Re: Living without a personal smartphone

Science uses peer-reviewed studies and not youtube videos nor noname news aggregators. Not necessarily.  You have to watch out for when science gets hijacked by politics or profit motives.  There are lots of situations where for example a team of scientists makes a discovery about what's causing so...

I did not do a web search for them, but I keep coming across them because I study health a lot. Be careful. Search algorithms tend to promote material that makes people angry, and claims of intentionally hidden dangers will make people angry even if no credible research has been able to identify an...

Re: Living without a personal smartphone

One can talk about convenience; but you still have to take into account the long-term health risks of using a cell phone.  These are a few of the articles and videos I've kept the URLs of.  I did not do a web search for them, but I keep coming across them because I study health a lot.

Re: new technologies for developing on NES

There are several reasons that I do not, and will not, use a smartphone. You're well within your right to make this decision, and I have absolutely no intention of changing your or anyone else's mind, I'm just saying that technology is heavily focused on smartphones these days, so you're likely to ...

Re: Question: Where do I start with SNES development

Re: What are NMI, IRQ and RESET?

You can put the routines anywhere in the memory map, except that at least the reset routine will normally have to be in ROM, since it has to run before the processor has had a chance to load any code into RAM.  The three vectors do need to be in the last six bytes of the memory map, but they can poi...
