"Dialed" into the Mac Studio wirelessly across the room for some IRCing on old hardware, here as the snow falls. ❄️

I had to modify the plist and shell config scripts I'd setup on the Mac since "upgrading" to macOS 26 Tahoe to get this working without gripes in the terminal.

Looking for a different monitor use case, I happened to notice the LG DualUp display is available at far less places than it was a year or two ago...

LG confirmed in product site feedback that it is still being made -- in a 5 month old post.

This might be time for me to grab a second one to keep waiting in the wings. Best display I've ever used in my life (center, 2560x2880 8:9 aspect display (rotated 90 degrees in accompanying photo)).

WipEout Futurism: The Graphic Archives

A lovely coffee-table book for those who enjoy this elegant game for a more civilized age.

( Big thanks to @havchr for making me aware of this one! )

Playing some Wipeout XL on my newly-repaired Playstation (SCPH-1001, purchased in 1996) using the Namco NeGcon analog racing controller.

I've replaced the PSU and the dead optical drive on this unit with a pre-tuned unit from TotalConsole. Drop in and go. Glad to have this back up and running after several years dark.

Replacement Playstation optical drive from TotalConsole works very well -- this was being discussed as a drop-in-and-go replacement (not tuning) and it's worked with everything I've tested it with so far except one CD-R that I burned about 18 years ago.

My original Playstation from 1996, which I mod-chipped and in which I recently replaced the PSU (and optical drive).

Haujobb scenedemo playing here, Orgonakkumulator (1999).

After some wild mathematical hat rendering yesterday, kicked off by @scruss and @paulrickards, I've got John Brooks' ridiculously optimized 10 line Applesoft BASIC program running on the IIe.

(Time-lapse video; the hat takes about 9 minutes to render on the 1MHz IIe.)

The listing can be found here: groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.a

I unimpressively missed #sepTandy, and so am belatedly posting this (with my head hung low). For shame...

@kirk It is real! This is my //c setup in my office two jobs ago (~10 years ago), The //c is "dialed" in to a MacBook Pro in the shot, and the LEGO //c is the work of Chris McVeigh -- I ordered a kit from him and assembled it.

The two matters I discuss in as many blog posts, along with a video of the LEGO assembly!

My newly dual-headed Atari 520ST system.

I've had this 520STm 4MB color setup for some years now, but recently expanded it, as I had long been wanting to.

I've just added an SM124 (very sharp) monochrome 72Hz 640x400 display (switching between it and the SC1224 RGB display with a MonitorMaster switchbox that I acquired new about 10 years ago for this eventual purpose). I also have just added an ACSI2STM SD card-based HD emulator.

The stand is an A520 STation, which is a fairly rare item (I've never seen another in use).
