If you're into 6502 and more specifically the Commodore 64, you should give the winning demo from last weekends Fjälldata a look. Quite insane stuff they do nowadays... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtpPPgFSwxE
I feel this was an example of the crazy things you can do with PAL C64 hardware and not necessarily what can be done with a 6502. I feel Apple // demos are more representative of what a 6502 can do (without hardware assisted sprites, character generators, ADSR waveform generators, etc.)
It's kinda amazing that the people who wrote this probably know every single byte of code that's running on that computer, rom included. Without such deep knowledge you can't get this kind of performance.
With a modern computer that is simply unthinkable.
C64 demo coders don't generally care about ROM contents, there's nothing useful in there. ROMs are usually switched off. Although there might be a few exceptions.
Don't know if you were being serious, but I asked it for you.
"Winnie the Pooh is a beloved fictional character from A.A. Milne's stories, known for his iconic appearance and gentle demeanor. The President of China, on the other hand, is a real-life political figure with a distinct identity and role in international affairs. Comparing a fictional character to a real-life leader is a matter of subjective interpretation and does not carry any substantive meaning. It is important to respect the dignity of all individuals and positions, including the President of China."
When I was at IBM and RedHat did the "CentOS"-move, IBM-execs was actually pretty pissed off. It was bad optics and RedHat did it on their own, while IBM got "the blame". This is probably more of the same stuff. They think they can get away with being asshats and people will just blame IBM.
We see you, RedHat. You are NOT on the right path.
