I'm very lucky to still have mine -- An Atari 400. My dad built an external keyboard from an 800 kbd mechanism. He also upgraded its RAM to... well.... 48kB. 😁
Atari 400 computer, connected to an LCD TV, playing Missile Command Atari 400 with the signature of Joe Decuir signature visible on its top case. Atari 400 connected to the LCD TV as well as an Atari 800 full-stroke keyboard. The keyboard is connected via a long flat ribbon cable and is enclosed in a hand-made wooden box. 4 red pushbuttons serve as Start, Select, Option, and Reset

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

"Dreamcast", a haiku

Each day he rises.
Asks me, "Is it still launch day?"
"Yes," I lie. "Always."

Planetary Alignment

xkcd.com/3192/
4-panel comic. (1) PERSON 1 with ponytail: The inspection revealed a few problems. Looks like your planet needs an alignment. PERSON 2: Oh? (2) PERSON 1: Yeah, your magnetic axis is 400 miles off-center from your rotational one. PERSON 2: Is that bad? (3) PERSON 1: The unbalanced magnetic field could cause radiation anomalies over the South Atlantic. Have you noticed any spacecraft equipment failures in that area? PERSON 2: There *have* been a few, actually. (4) PERSON 1: We can give you a loaner planet while yours is in the shop. Is a gas giant OK? PERSON 2: I’d *really* prefer a solid surface. PERSON 1: Sorry, it’s all we have. But it’ll just be for a few days.

Did you know that LoopyMSE, the Casio Loopy emulator, has printer emulation? You can customize what it runs on the exported image so here it's using Python to send the image to this bluetooth printer which can print full-colour 3"x2" stickers!

After winning awards last year for the #amiga version of our coffee-break #roguelike, Roguecraft, we were grateful to get the expanded Roguecraft DX on the #Evercade!

This year we are releasing multiple ports, including DX for Amiga.

Good news UK folks!

I have applied for UK VAT registration and can now sell to the UK.

So that means my new LS-2 joystick is now available for shipping to your country.

Help spread the word.

Happy #TillysGameVersary 🎂, the Commodore 64 (1982)!

With its childishly chunky keys, it was created as a Duplo-style learner machine for those wanting to graduate up to a Spectrum.

Even so, it was a surprisingly popular computer at the time due to its daring colour graphics; 16 shades of beige.

Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? @yyzkevin.com's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/
A PCMCIA card with a label saying "YYZ Credit Card Adapter for Everything" in the style of the PCMCIA cards that IBM made back in the 90s. A small wifi antenna, SD card slot, and dongle connector are on the card's edge.
