Watching your pets get old is terrible. They never stop being cute, happy little puppies, but their bodies just start giving up on them. Chaotically happy to see you and gasping for air bc their hearts can no longer cope with the excitement. I hate this part.
The Archimedes is gone, so now there’s room on the bench for something cool I didn’t get to play much in the late 80s. Introducing my new (to me) Atari 1040 STf from Germany. QWERTZ keyboard and a cool surprise inside #atarist
This is how a proper macchiato and espresso should always look
For the first time on record, the #ArcticCircle crossed a temperature that once felt almost impossible for such a frozen region: above 38°C. A place many imagine as endless ice, snow, and cold winds suddenly touched a number usually associated with scorching deserts #ClimateEmergency #oilandgas
I think this would be the perfect soccer jersey for retro computing enthusiasts Ps The jersey is real- I believe Gross is an abbreviation for “grossista or grossisti”, the Italian word for wholesaler

That time when John Dvorak struggled to take apart his own machine, trying to demonstrate how amazing the modular design of the PS/2 was.
What if the Acorn Archimedes had its own Star Fox? Wing Star is a 90s 3D demo that pushed the system in impressive ways, blending ideas from Star Fox and Afterburner. You can try it yourself too at Games That Weren't.

Retro Erik wrote a driver to allow the Olivetti PC1 to play classic Sierra games in 16 colors. The CGA computer uses a Yamaha V6355D chip that emulates CGA, but with some tweaks it can display 16 colors from a palette of 512. #olivettipc1 youtu.be/aQYgbVWuqRI?...
