If this is the local PC AI that Microsoft are doing in public, how scary is the stuff they don't show? Your PC is going to read everything and do everything without your say, very soon! 😬 share.google/hPYLgFzu0QCW...

Lots of wonderful talks at @kawaiicon.bsky.social - everything from Enigma machines right up to AI LLM MCP vulns. Very glad that NZ's premiere security con is back after a few years break!

What the actual MSFT?? who uses this crap o/s now anyways???

I slowed down my clock speed in the hope that it would increase the CPU speed of my XT. I used a programmable oscillator too. Here's what happened!

Just casually getting some time with my favourite loafer in a Leisure Suit. On my XT, of course. 😁

If you're a fan of the movie Sneakers, the late Robert Redford (RIP) or just geeky things, you can ssh into [email protected] and watch the movie in glorious 24-bit colour ANSI :) Enjoy!

The XT that became a high end 486 without a motherboard swap now runs DooM at 20 fps!

Full fat doom, on an IBM XT with help from Intel, @frenkel.bsky.social and @viti95.bsky.social

Here's a version of @viti95.bsky.social's FastDoom with keyboard code that should work on an XT.

Upgrade and XT to a 486? Surely that's impossible?!

I just spent far too much money on this thing. The Intel Inboard was a way to upgrade your PC or XT to have a 386 CPU. It gave you the opportunity to run 32-bit software despite having an 8-bit bus. I want to run extended memory apps, this is /apparently/ the only way!

Did you now that IBM were heavily involved in Nazi Germany? If you didn't, this documentary is going to blow your mind! youtu.be/kII17V1kwAA?...

Did you now that IBM were heavily involved in Nazi Germany? If you didn't, my next documentary, out tomorrow is going to blow your mind! Check it out: youtu.be/kII17V1kwAA

This VHS tape sized subnotebook from 1997 was really innovative for its time; but was it any good? Let's look at the Toshiba Libretto 100CT! youtu.be/uAlhPwcHbdo?...

And since I'm new here, I'll introduce myself to #retrocomputing too, with my latest YouTube video, which covers Windows 3.0 on a real 286 PC and an in-place upgrade to Windows 3.1

Hello! Al from Al's Geek Lab saying Hi for the first time on Bluesky! I look forward to interacting with fellow retro computing and gaming nerds and nerdettes here! Be excellent to each other!
