Can't wait so see that one!

@feliks
This is damn nice. Almost as good as this Win95 trap masterpiece : https://frankjavcee.bandcamp.com/track/--5

This book is gorgeous! Is there any European bookshop/dealer carrying it? The shipping cost+taxes from the US are silly ^^

📡 at very long last, today is the big day! my beloved book, OTHER NETWORKS: A RADICAL TECHNOLOGY SOURCEBOOK, is officially available for pre-order!

This a speculative index of communications networks, a love letter to experimental art & technology, & a liberatory guide for escaping the corporate present. Many of you know that, for years, I have been compiling and cataloguing a history of communications networks, one full of alternatives to the monolithic, surveilled internet as we now know it. The result is this compendium of possibilities that existed before or outside of the internet and a tribute to their experimental use by artists, covering everything from pirate radio to barbed wire telegraph, from synthesizers that transmitted over the telephone to encoded messages bounced off the surface of the moon.

Because of the hard work and creative genius of Mark Iosifescu, Jesse Pollock, and everyone at Anthology Editions; Robert Beatty who made the breathtaking cover and section designs; and Ella Gold for book design, OTHER NETWORKS is also a feat of beautiful design. And as if that weren't enough, the talented @jomc wrote the Foreword and the legendary @hrheingold wrote the epilogue. So, so many people to thank, including many of YOU, for making this happen! https://shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/495898-lori-emerson-other-networks-a-radical-technology-sourcebook

@klizana
I'd be interested to know about the process too

A decade ago a VPN listening on port 53 allowed me many connections through free wifis and captive portals without giving any PI. I should try it nowadays to see if this trick is still working

@polpo
I somehow missed that adapter in my unboxing, will try this out this weekend thanks!
@RetroViator

@polpo
Awesome! How do you hook it up? USB-MIDI adapter?
@RetroViator

@plgDavid
Best news of the month!

@RetroViator
Nice! I never thought about it before but is there a way to use a real Roland MT-32 in a PicoGUS setup?
@polpo

@simonbp
I see. But regarding the focus, wasn't the point of these cameras was to be able to focus after the picture *after* it was taken?

(mfw remembering that the quirky PDAs were in fact Cipherlab ones (8001, 8071 and 8470))
@whitequark

@polpo
Wow so it would be able to emulate a full ATAPI CDROM drive?

@gsuberland
Toshiba used such a setup but with video ; the resulting commercial (along with the Crystal Castles song) is really nifty : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gA8GM6HdvJA

@simonbp
What the issue with the L16? (Genuine question, I heard about them like a decade or so ago and never after, so it my mind they flopped but I never knew why or how)
@G_glop @gsuberland @halcy @janamarie

@polpo
I'd check some subreddit for some info, like this one : www.reddit.com/r/metalworking/comments/1km7uni

TL;DR a woodblock and a mallet could be used

The demoscene runs deep in our French bloodveins

@hendric
I used them for about a decade in my very first job with weirds embedded PDAs and they were really reliable compared to PL2303 or even the FTDI ones and their fucked up drivers, so kudos for your efforts!

This is truly wonderful. It has a nice Diane Milhouse vibe 👌
