Very excited to see that Phillips has started releasing 3d models of replacement components to 3d print. The emissions savings of using recycled plastic to 3d print instead of having a component ship from China could be as high as 60%, and the emissions impact of replacing an out of production component and not buying a new razor could be >90% (plus rare earths savings)! Very happy with Phillips and hope more companies follow suit. https://www.printables.com/model/1289421-philips-fixables-oneblade-1-3mm-comb/files #3dprinting #righttorepair #solarpunk

@montpellibre, this could be a nice place to register !

Peut-être au #lebib ? @lebib

Oh! I was thinking this in the wrong way; "a RSS app would probably easily open Gemini URLs, but not grab the feed over Gemini". And then find the atom feed in the capsule 😅.

@reidrac, do you know an Android feeder app with support for Gemini ?

I do :)

Not very often, though, as RSS is so handy and brings me to your http blog. I wonder whether RSS clients would work with Gemini URLs 🤔

@pulkomandy
> the thesis of Jean Gastinel, I think it contains early eork that eventually led to the videochip used in the Minitel

Is this related to the Thomson EF934x family ?

A soundcard does the trick. I find `castool` from the Mame project very useful to convert k7 files to wav 🎉

Today in "Resurrecting obscure computers from the 8-bit Cambrian explosion of the early Eighties": this Philips VG5000µ is back in business.

Also sold by Radiola and Schneider (in white), this very French computer was designed by La Radiotechnique (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiotechnique). It sports a Z80 at 4 MHz and, as its sleek chassis proudly proclaims, 24 KB of RAM (and an 18 KB ROM). It has tape and cartridge ports.

Notice the mad keyboard layout (with accents! 🥳 ).

It's a bit of a goblin. I love it.

@onegeekarmy
My first computer! ❤️
There's been a gamejam for it a few years ago. https://itch.io/jam/retro-programmers-united-for-obscure-systems-philips-vg5000-session

J'ai le sentiment qu'une forme de communication strictement unidirectionnelle s'importe dans le fediverse. Il est à craindre qu'un désengagement s'opère autour de ce genre de comptes.

Savez-vous s'il y a une vidéo de cette présentation ? Je ne l'ai pas trouvée 🥺
@pulkomandy, ce PoC, c'est vraiment très fort !

To Major Tom

I messed up some inventory settings in my shop. Some prints were marked as sold (they aren't) and some weren't marked as sold (they were). I think I've fixed it all now (I hope!). Sorry about that!

TL;DR The pen plot you wanted might still be available! Try again? Thank you!
