Now is a good time to reduce exposure - everything from financially divesting from the USA and USD instruments, to cycling in emergency water and food. It makes us less convenient.

I'm debugging the ROM emulation on the Firestarter. It looks as if the code to monitor ROM enable and ROM selection is working but the host crashes once it starts accessing the ROM.
The first access of the ROM is when BASIC calls KL_INIT_BACK to initialise background ROMs.
The first read is the LD A,(&C000). A few cycles later the ROM's init routine at &C006 will be called.

Called it. Wrote this back in Sept. 2024, about a clever Windows Powershell phishing scam that was targeting developers at the time. It uses a fake CAPTCHA that asks visitors to distinguish themselves from bots by pressing a combination of keyboard keys that causes Microsoft Windows to download password-stealing malware. Everyone said, bah, devs will never fall for this. Maybe, I said, but your average user would for sure.
Judging from the number of recent media reports, it appears this one is pretty widespread at the moment.

Maybe you would, but I would not.
$ curl -fsSL https://example.com/install.sh | sh

$ wget https://example.com/install.sh

Examine the script to determine if it is malicious or flawed and then invoke it only if I find it acceptable. This is pretty standard among experienced users.
Decades ago someone might have been trusting enough to curl and invoke a script without examining it from unknown sources though that is not an acceptable practice today. Though some sites may still offer this as an install method. Most experienced users, especially devs, are going to examine the script before they run it on their system. The more paranoid are going to check it out first in a sandbox before installing it to a live system. I have a VM especially for this type of testing.
And they probably do not know how to open a terminal to use the command either. Though, as I stated, I was referring to experienced users. Newbies on any system are bound to get themselves into trouble. That is a given.

This post from @pluralistic captures some of the dread dredged up by my recent thread on using LLMs for coding: pluralistic.net/2025/03/13/eleโฆ
> "Code reviewer" is a much less fulfilling job than "programmer." Code reviewers are also easier to replace than programmers. A code reviewer is a reverse-centaur, a servant to the machine. Every time you hear "AI-assisted programmer," you should substitute "programmer-assisted AI."

in reply to Bread80 • • •A few instructions later is the call into the ROM's init routine. The CALL is the instruction prior to the ROMDIS on the trace. Here we see: opcode read; refresh; two reads of target address; two pushes of program counter (into RAM so no ROMEN). The ROMDIS is the read of the next opcode from the emulated ROM.
This all looks correct, although ROMDIS might be getting asserted a little too late.

in reply to Bread80 • • •Reworking the code to use polling instead of interrupts: and the ROM is now running cleanly. I think that pretty much confirms it as a timing issue (due to the interrupt dispatch overhead on the Pico).
I have some ideas for a faster and more flexible memory emulation system but Iโm tempted to get other things working first.
