New thread! Stuff I fixed, in no particular order - some #retrocomputing things, a lot of dumpster finds, and the occasional household appliance.

As it is probably inevitable with nerds of a certain age, I've started collecting retro computers from my teens and early twenties - already have a working Nintendo Gameboy, NES, and Wii, a Palm Pilot, a Sharp Zaurus, and a Commodore C64 + 1541 floppy drive.

After more than 30 years, AOL will discontinue Dial-up Internet on September 30th.

From now on. All RomWBW kits sold with a Pico will be provided with a PICO2 (Pico1 is still supported , and so is using your own Pico)

Meaning, Ram disks, Fast File Serial and oodles of paged RAM in RomWBW :)

Update for Alt txt.

TIL a toy company released a line of Independence Day toys in the late 90s; each toy included a different "mission disk" floppy with a multimedia program on it for windows 3.1

toy collector @eisnerguy1 managed to collect all 11 of the toys and uploaded disk images to IA

Look what I found in my stash! I might be able to upgrade my DX33 ...

On this weekend the BIG hacker's festival, named "ChaosConstructions" is starting!

https://chaosconstructions.ru/

There are should be a lot of retro tech: #SunMicrosystem servers, some old #DEC stuff, #SunOS (or #Solaris ) terminals, PCs from Win95/98 era, etc. All hardware is working

I was on the festival in the last year. Some photos from this festival are here: https://eugene-andrienko.com/photo/2024/09/01/summer-photos-2024.html (section "Computers").

So, on the next week(s) you (my subscribers) will be flooded by the photos of the various retro tech, sorry (but no sorry)

MVG basically compressed my entire youth into one video right there

If you're going to #Gamescom, then you'll definitely want to visit the #RetroArea. At the Amiga Germany Fanzine booth, you can play some polyplay games on original #Amiga hardware. Come check it out! Chris Hülsbeck and Factor5 have already been there.

William S. Burroughs ottiene il brevetto per la sua macchina calcolatrice. Entro un anno, ne produce 50 esemplari; sebbene fossero difficili da usare, rappresentarono un significativo passo avanti nella meccanica di calcolo.
