Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Did an Einstein TC-01 replica board with @peepouk.bsky.social. All good and well, except the keyboard plays a tune - on the boot screen. 🤷 😅

The Hope Dolphin was a licensed BBC Micro launched in India around 1989 and until recently only one example was known in the UK, at the Centre for Computing History. This was in very poor, non-working condition. However, a new one has been acquired by a UK collector.

Neptune revision 1.4 has just been released, including the "region flicker" fix and some BOM updates/corrections. This one was a real team effort, so thanks to all who contributed! github.com/Board-Folk/N...
Release r1.4 · Board-Folk/Neptune
Fix for the "region flicker" issue due to region/version register instability (issue #3, dr-goobur)
BOM correction: C12 and C14 were listed as 1uF, should be 1nF. This avoids some edge case issues ...

As there isn't one already I've decided to try to create a bare metal diagnostic ROM for the Sinclair QL which replaces the system ROMs.
Should work with minimally working system, output via serial and video.
So far initial memory tests on base 128K done.
