Retro tech tear-downs, hacks & mods from this reality & beyond #retrocomputing #electronics #toys
@Amiga1200Gamer @MsMadLemon or when something goes horribly wrong and truncates a bunch of files to zero & then Google merrily goes about copying them up over the backups without telling you.
I don't think anything that live-syncs changes can be reasonably called a "backup". It's just a fuckup propagator.

In case you were wondering, the #Agon is a relatively simple single-board computer with an eZ80 main CPU and an ESP32 co-processor (the small green board in this picture). The ESP32 is used mainly for graphics, sound and keyboard. All other processing is done by the eZ80...

I'm on Mastodon now. Here's a vintage picture of a vintage computer.
Somehow got to 300 subs on YouTube! But there's a few billion people on the planet and a significant fraction of those are nerds!👍🏾
So here's a link in case some nerds haven't seen it🤗
Interesting that the homebrew computer gets more hits than the Oric🤔

@revk bit weird that, given when I moved from the UK to NL my council in the UK outright refused to confirm they knew who I was or if I'd lived there "we have no way of knowing" "can I get my council tax back then?" "no".
@jalefkowit @mos_8502 it's fun, here's my last experience in case it's helpful for preparing yourself https://www.friendlyskies.net/notebook/giving-haiku-os-beta-3-a-try
Well the CallistoII is done. It’s not perfect and that’s annoying enough that I will probably reprint the top for a third time, but for now it’ll do. Now I can start working on the UI for it.
The #PiStorm sandwich actually works! Turned the stock #A500 into a 128M RAM 68030 running OS 3.2.1 (all from the PiStorm, the #Amiga is a standard Kick 1.3 512K 68000).
@mos_8502 thanks for the tips!
Seen some reasonably priced machines (thought they'd be more than FDM but guess they're technically simpler), tempted.
Going to go off down this rabbit hole! Maybe can find one to try at a local hackerspace.
@mos_8502 they're looking great, nice work! The detail on the painting is way beyond my patience level.
How reliable do you the resin printing? Any downsides? I've got a "normal" FDM printer, and mostly print mechanical bits and pieces which can be a bit iffy with the resolution.
@mos_8502 those are incredible. Have you had any success printing models like this? My 3d prints are functional at best.

It has been released today! :) Many thanks to the developers for this great #C64 #Commodore64 game in 2022!

@europlus welcome! Nice to have you here
@jonn_blanchard not sure why the colour matters.
@jimblimey they put a different smell in the top. The only way to be sure is to empty the entire can in the shop.
@josipretrobits really nice Josip! Love this stuff.
The object of the beginning part of Rocky's Boots is to use a mechanical boot to kick a series of objects off a conveyor belt.
To ensure that the boot only kicks the positive objects, the player must connect a series of logic gates to the boot.
@notawizard @Wintermute_BBS @jonnypencils I've got it in a VM. My usual routine is to open it, click around a bit, play a video, sigh and then close it.
