The only thing left for us is to pray.
Pray for the safety of our families,
for our countries, for our planet.
May God forgive us and protect us.
Where that N10 (NT/OS2 - WindowsNT) thing all started.
Who knows, maybe one day it'll surface...

Just downloaded the latest head from ReactOS, compiled it and booted it up! Got to say wow it's so much snappier than I last used it, and that wasn't even that long ago!
Wow! Now to see if I can vibe some OS2SS for some real fun!
had to break r3 into steps as the cyber police were hot on my worker 🐝 .. thanks to @The_DarkFire__ I should be able to leapfrog a lot of the stuff gpt was trying to figure out....

After some fun with the cyber police, R1 ran! Making some solid progress.. but I'm just a meat puppet. – at Paisley, Scotland
Hard to believe it was 2 years ago, that AI images of what a retail C compiler should look like. And the Eldridge horror within. – at Paisley, Scotland
I'd asked chat gpt for an update on Visual C++ 2003 for OS/2 and it came up with Warp Bridge, running OS/2 apps on Windows.
Visual C++ 2003 targeting OS/2 is real though

16bit protected mode Microsoft office. It cleanly broke the 640kb DOS memory restrictions, and bundled together at OEM scale it was cheaper than a single alternative from another vendor.
Starting the 90s with a bang on the desktops, and bringing so many OS/2 promises to the masses via DPMI. – at Paisley, Scotland
For those who love vibe coded slop, it's OS2host32!
It'll run some VERY basic demos from a super old Beta version of OS/2 2.0 .. Oh and Neko from the 2.0 GA!
100% vibe coded.

Just found out about this fun utility to let 32bit windows apps gobble up the 4gb memory space

So why wont the debug OS/2 kernel boot on bochs? or qemu or anything else? Trace registers..
It doesn’t reach CMD yet. Bochs rejects the debug kernel’s MOV EAX,TR6 instruction and loops on an invalid-opcode exception. That identifies the next emulator compatibility issue to resolve.
I guess the fun thing is, I push the slider to the max, and ask Astra to write them, and:
Operating System/2 Command Interpreter Version 2.0 [A:\]
I asked ChatGPT this afternoon if it could load into WHP (Windows Hypervisor Platform) ... and yeah, something I'd only seen in some feature deck I probably fell alseep looking at, and here we are!
ALT SairenPM running inside a WHP VM, doing io to the os/2 'wine' like emulator... it's cool!
Me checking up on Chat GPT as it grinds OS/2 emulation into Hyper-V Virtual Machine Platform, and it's just gone to lunch... new version of Chat GPT?
ALT Chat GPT just went Content failed to load on all my stuff... the landing page seems to have something new? I'm kinda wishing id have some notice to save context more often
