Never! /LOL. Stupid AI. This doesn't even look like me, and milk squirt is so bad./

Happy B-day, @pointerfunction.bsky.social! 🎂 53?! For real? I don't believe it.

Finally working on this JVC TM-910SU for a friend. A fine little CRT for retro gaming.

A big thanks to the Chilliwack Retro-Computing Club for inviting me to speak yesterday by live stream to attendees at the club's Retro Computing Expo in Vancouver, BC 🇨🇦. I had a great time and I hope everyone enjoyed my talk about growing up at the dawn of the personal computer.

Commodore 264-series (Commodore 16, Commodore Plus/4, and the like) diagnostic team is now complete and ready for some diag action.

And then there's me... last week I ordered PCBs to make a diag264 cartridge, and then this past weekend I remembered I ordered these goodies from #TFW8b in April 2019. 🤦

Hey @theretrochannel.bsky.social, I've been re-watching your CoCo 2 s-video mod videos – I'm finally pulling my unfininished #SepTandy repair video out of mothballs – did you ever revisit your NTSC CoCo 2 RF modulator conversion? I think part of the issue with my repair case is a dodgy RF modulator.

Well, decided to take on the challenge to repair a friend's old Canon PowerShot G1. Jeez, it's like peeling an onion, a lot of layers and sooooo many tiny screws!

Wow!...

Well, we do sometimes have our retro haul moments here in Canada. 😜

Toronto traffic sucks at the best of times, but at least there's usually a moment to take a decent pic out the window of the car. No, I'm not the one driving.

The VIC-20 was definitely a real computer to me; I cut my computer teeth on it. Loved it – obsessed with it. I had a Rev 1 Can/US model with PET-style keys & 10VAC PSU. I wrote a little blog blurb about it if anyone is interested in a short toilet-time read, www.mindflareretro.com/blog/you-had....

Was doing some retro workshop purging and tidying up today and came across my original Amiga World magazines from back in the day. I kept the premiere issue from 1985 and the final issue from April 1995.

Funny that this is the game that came to mind first. 🤷🏼‍♂️

One can't have too many multimeters. Picked up this HABOTEST HT208D on AliExpress for $47 🇨🇦. I am pleasantly surprised with the very good build quality and can measure AC and DC current. More testing is required, but so far, so good. 👍 #habotest
