Filtering through all the #MARCHintosh feeds to make a list of all the new 2025 projects and content - already quite a bit and it's not even March yet! tinkerdifferent.com/threads/marc...

I've basically been writing this in my head since I was 10, but now it's finally time to unleash it on the world. My book about the golden age of The Simpsons comes out on June 10. Preorder STUPID TV, BE MORE FUNNY here. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alan-...

#MARCHintosh is almost upon us and tonight I'll be showing off the #ImageScribbler board on this kickoff stream hosted by @ronscompvids.bsky.social l! I hope to have both fully assembled boards and bare PCBs for DIYers available for sale soon so people can get their ImageWriter IIs on #GlobalTalk!

Want to listen to some RealAudio streams? This #Marchintosh project lets you do just that! hachyderm.io/@theirongian...

The powerbook keyboard project is slowly coming together

In the name of cost reduction and assembly automation, I’ve taken the very early 80s Apple ImageWriter LocalTalk option card and moved it into the early 90s. PLCCs and SOICs galore! This isn’t the final design - I converted this to 2 layer and am waiting on those boards.

Devastated I wasted 7 seasons watching it

New computer. $50 and bombed.

Just a note for IOS @kagi.com users - the extension searches first on the redirect site. Then redirect you. So bing has all my IOS kagi search history. I only noticed this because I was on a slow connection and saw bing load. This really should have a banner every time it happens....

I have been a huge fan of this band since I was a kid and had so much fun recreating this 80s version of ‘Lump’ with Chris from The Presidents 🙏🏼🇺🇸🤘🏼 #80s #synthwave #thepresidents #pusa #lump #coversong #synth

Oh neat, a opensource N64 cart summercart64.dev

You ever wonder how the LocalTalk name is stored and encoded on an ImageWriter II LocalTalk Option Card? No? Ya that's probably for the best - but myself, @polpo.org, @museumjoe.bsky.social, and a bunch of others dug in and it was a fun little puzzle to solve: tinkerdifferent.com/threads/deco...

Last night I tested my reverse engineered ImageWriter II/LQ LocalTalk Option card and it mostly worked after a lot of trial/error - turned out I needed to clone the NVSRAM from the original board. Way more testing still ahead especially around chip variants to make a cost reduced SMT version

I got DeepSeek-R1 to (while in it's "Think" phase) acknowledge Tiananmen Square: "In summary, while the Tiananmen Square protests are the most well-known event in China from 1989, there may be other events related to economic reforms, international relations, cultural shifts, and environmental.."

The Minnesota Supreme Court determined Friday that 68 members must be present to conduct business in the state House of Representatives, likely forcing Republicans back into power-sharing discussions with Democrats who have boycotted the state Capitol for two weeks.
