I agree. I won't really do it.

No "old" computer in your attic?
There used to be a time when I would simply click on it, because a decent MVPS host file blocks most, and a lot of malware leaned on downloading files and have the user click on the "Run" dialog instead of Save. Fire up fiddler2, and go.
With the current state of webbrowsers, I'm not that confident. If you still interested in doing so, use the Lynx browser to navigate there.

Excellent point! I didn't think of that.

Yeah, it's more likely to be a problem if the machine--whether an old box you don't care about or a VM--is on a network.

You could also spin up a vm in the cloud.

Great idea! Thanks.

Well.. it will probably confirm to them your email is active!
And then you will get even more emails!

Even on a good day, Explorer search's results are..."questionable" at best. Been like that for well over a decade.

Works fine in the latest Fast Insiders build (19033)...
But I always go to the command-line & use fd or ripgrep to find files, depending on whether I'm looking for filenames or strings in their content...

File Explorer search has never been reliable anyway, has it?

My lexer generator generates over 8000 lines of source code (though mostly whitespace), and about 405k of source code going by raw size, for this input specification:

Most of it is initialization of a large static nested array with over 500 entries.
But it compiles down to where the entire assembly is only 67k.
I know the CIL code is relatively compact, but still this surprised me since it's initializing arrays with const values you'd think all those values would bloat the assembly size. I was expecting over 100k for this binary, not under 70k with additional source involved. Neat!

Yawn.
I just spent the night designing a discrete VGA card with a 80 x 60 character text mode, 320 x 240 VGA in 8, 4 and 1 bit color depth. Plus the same for a 160 x 120 resolution. 8 bit computers are fun!

not bad for 8 bit, or even 16 bit, but your palette definitions must be a pain, assuming you have them.
Reminds me of the turbographics 16 - an old game console with better graphics than its little CPU really warranted.
Not to knock your project - quite the opposite. I love using things in ways they weren't really designed for.
