Re: Reading QR codes without a computer

Slightly off topic: One day in the late 90s or early 2000s, I wanted to transfer the contents of my Atari 8-bit disks to my PC. I did know about SIO2PC, a cable that converts between Atari's SIO port and the PC's serial port and a piece of software to go with it. But I didn't have the electronics skills to build one (even though it is actually very easy).

So I ended up writing a Basic program on the Atari to read data from the disk sector by sector and paint it on the screen (with the large 4-color pixels of graphics mode 3). The Atari was connected to the TV card of my PC and a Delphi program I wrote was running on the PC that kept taking screen shots and trying to decode the data from there. I quickly learned that empty sectors threw off my pixel position calibration so I added a mask pattern and a checksum. The sector address was also included. With that, I was able to transfer all my disk contents to my PC. To this day I consider it my greatest engineering achievement :)

Some ten years later, I went on to build an SIO2PC program called AspeQt. A more up-to-date community fork called RespeQt is still the most popular tool in that category used by the community. It even has its own subforum on AtariAge[1].

Слушаю тут себе музыку, мне что-то попалось из кантри, ну вроде прикольный трек (собсно типичное кантри), но на фоне вслушиваюсь в текст, и он какой-то ебанутый немного. Смотрю на исполнителя, а это пародийный саундтрек из Far Cry 5 (с довольно зловещим в контексте игры текстом ессно), и его Youtube Music походу выдает как legit рекомендации по жанру кантри))

Ну чисто веселые песенки под названием The World Is Gonna End Tonight, Set those sinners free или Oh the Bliss))
