Last day of the festival! If you like quirky, awkward, sometimes cringey retro content these film strips are for you! I mean I learned all about acne from Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby-Doo yesterday 😄 Consider donating to help their preservation 👇 uncommonephemera.org

#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

Apple's been pressuring me to ok a gag order meant to silence me about their misconduct & discredit my whistleblowing. Today, they insisted we file it. When I pointed out its prob a felony, they insisted I file it. So I did — as Exhibit D in my Motion to Quash. www.ashleygjovik.com/blog/5132025...

Stupid rename fumbles like this will be taught in biz/marketing courses for years to come. Think of all the wasted money, talent, resources, and time spent on this change in 2023 - only to revert back. The idiot VPs in charge need to be shot out of a canon into the sun, without golden parachutes.
