Just watched Pirates of Silicon Valley with my 13 y/o. Still just about holds up - though the story telling can be a touch confusing at times. Still, well worth a watch - haven't watched it for years. #retrocomputing

Starfox / Starwing on the 3ds is amazing! The 3d is so well done - makes it feel like the future. Amazed by it on the snes, then the n64 but the 3d screen of the 3ds really lifts it again! #retrogaming #3ds #nintendo #starfox #starwing

This weekend I’m polishing up CDROM emulation on PicoGUS and verified that it works in Windows 98. Once I figure out a nice way to switch disc images and make a utility for it I will release a new firmware version.

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.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
