Just playing with a BBC Microbit with my 7 year old - it's really good! Nit just the device but the teaching materials around it. Really impressed #microbit

#PicoGUS can now emulate both a CDROM drive and Sound Blaster in parallel, smoothly playing both CD audio and SB sound effects simultaneously. Still a lot of polish to do before a new firmware release but I'm excited!! This is MechWarrior 2 with bin/cue stored on a USB stick plugged into the PicoGUS

Using autocad r12 on mac os 9.2.2 Had to manually increase allowable ram to enable rendering. Seems amazingly backwards for an OS from 2001. Is this a thing with os 9 or is it only for old 68k programs? #retrocomputing #mac #os9

Day 101 - #retrorandom - This lovely little machine isn't a laptop, it's a portable Minitel terminal! Here it's connected to @glasstty.bsky.social's Telstar system via the internal modem. I can't help but wonder what the market for a machine like this would be in the days before mobile comms ... 1/2

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

I’ve been slowly making progress on my ESP IrDA transceiver. Still hoping to do serial mouse over IrDA, and a PPP network access server for PalmOS devices. Next I’ll add software-selectable baud rates. I need to move to an ESP32 soon, too.
