🎊 One Year Ago: 🎊

Even if it’s not anywhere as famous as Silicon Graphics machines, this workstation from the 80s has something that others don’t have; a game exclusive to it, that fully takes advantage of the so impressive graphics that it could display! Check it out at the link below!

Mystery-brand 8088 PC/XT clone I rescued from e-waste. No brand on it anywhere other than those freakin awesome “Heart My PC” badges, and I can’t find a single mention anywhere online about an all-blue PC/XT clone even existing.

It has “NAN TAN COMPUTER CO” and “NTC CO” under the keyboard, but they seem to just be a keyboard manufacturer and never made full PCs.

All the chips inside are super generic, and all are either made in Malaysia or Taiwan, so I’m assuming it’s some generic small-run clone from somewhere in Asia.

#Google und #YouTube gehören wirklich
endlich #zerschlagen

anscheinend ist jetzt alles Kaputt
#NewPipe läuft nicht
alle Smartphone Browser laufen nicht, weder FireFox noch Brave.

Überall bei YouTube steht nur,, melde Dich an damit Wir sehen das du kein Bot bist ,,

Ich will eure scheiß Werbung nicht, sondern eure Inhalte, ohne die 25 mal Werbung
in einem 30 Minuten Video !!!!

Ich betrachte YouTube als Öffentliches Gut,
es gibt zwar immer mehr AfD scheiße und KI Dreck.

Aber auch gute Informative Video Beiträge.

Keyboards?
Where we're going we don't need keyboards.

I have now memorized the exact sequence of pins to touch to type "LOADT".

Ha, I got a BlueSCSI v2 working on my powerbook duo 2300c. Turns out they DO have internal scsi, you just have to have the right flex cable. Cant use IDE though, having a drive attached to it disables SCSI. Loading my website via the dynaport emulation. #retrocomputing

I know, many have been asking for this and even more out there didn’t even dare to ask.

But finally, the wait is over:

You can now use your #PinephonePro running #FreeBSD to do all your #Borland C++ #OS2 development while waiting for 1997 to arrive.

Waking up this morning surrounded by trees in the Forest of Dean.

Followed by a walk to Symonds Yat Rock, overlooking the Wye Valley.

Installed Haiku on my old ThinkPad X200, to start getting a feel for it prior to commencing a Haiku-based side project. Coming from Linux and FreeBSD, it has such an easy, consistent, GUI.

@mwichary Here's a very unusual early French ergonomic keyboard prototype, the Marsan. The previous owner tried to wire it to use with a SwyftCard

It's going to a museum for an exhibition, as well as a copy of Shift Happens available for visitors to read

My wife wanted some special BD gift for me. She looked in my vintage computer collection, put all the model-names into ChatGPT and asked if it would offer something similar - what is not yet in my collection. AI offered this wonderful NEC PC-98LT with a super rare NEC V50 CPU. She ordered this laptop to a mate in Japan and she sent it to us to Berlin. I was really "positive" shocked. I never thought my wife would ever present me an retro machine... I love my wife!

@z3ntu Absolutely great news. I hope SailfishOS and another Mobile Linux distributions could use your work to create official eSIM Manager for their OSes. I wait for SailfishOS....

Version 0.2 of my eSIM Manager app is out!

We've got significant UI improvements alongside many other additions such as an app icon, providing environment variables for lpac via the command line, error handling, eUICC 'notification' handling, viewing of eUICC chip info and appstream metainfo data!

My "life long" wish of porting #SailfishOS atleast once has been successfully accomplished. Welcome SFOS on the OnePlus 7T Pro.

I still remember talking with @cas back in 2020 when they still maintained their SFOS 3 port for the OnePlus 6 and 6T, just months before they decided going on the next awesome adventure of making both fajita and enchilada possibly the best supported devices for postmarketOS.

Thanks everyone!

MSXBOOK is a cheap retro laptop designed for compatibility with a 1980s Japanese PC platform

The makers of the BOOK 8088, Pocket 386, and Hand 386 line of portable retro computers are back with a new model called the MSXBOOK. Like other products from 8086Yes!, the MSXBOOK is a compact computer with retro hardware that allows you to run software designed for decades-old computers without the need to rely on software emulators.

But this model has a bigger, higher resolution display, a […]
