Amazing retrospective from The Serial Port guys. Really enjoyed it. youtu.be/qhay6VryyvE?...

VCF Southwest time!

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.

THIS!!! ⤵️

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.

Awesome! More freakin' Archimedes content over on @theretrochannel.bsky.social thanks to the absolute legend @cencio1976.bsky.social youtu.be/X1Yc7bSSzIA?...

Is this you @jazrignall.bsky.social ?

The extremely rare catcopus.

Fun fact. If you divide 1 by 998,001 you get all three-digit numbers from 000 to 999 in order, except for 998. Original post

When this kid's act of loyalty to his friend low-key saves the human species

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

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?...

The hell we are living in

Guess which computer was used at the Guild of Geographers in Paddington.

Nutella just got the best free ad in possibly human history. A jar of it floated across the camera on the Artemis II livestream, halfway to the Moon, completely unbothered. Original post

1/ The US attempted to send several Iran-bound bombers to an Italian air base without prior authorisation and was refused permission by the Italian government while the aircraft were in flight. The news comes a day after Spain disclosed it was refusing US military overflights. ⬇️

Whatever espresso team Italy is drinking, I need some. #WBC

Looks like Italy is on track to beat the US and Mexico on consecutive nights. AT BASEBALL. What on earth is going on? #WBC

@alienogentile.bsky.social Ma perché giornalisti italiani ancora credono a questa idiozia che la stato più povero degli USA (Mississippi) è più ricco della Germania? Dividere il PIL (gdp) per il numero degli abitanti da un quadro totalmente sbagliato della realtà www.corriere.it/opinioni/26_...

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

This project from YouTuber Luxocrates is nothing short of amazing. youtu.be/wE0cos_yisI?...

I’m so happy I get to play with an Archimedes A3020… in Texas! Thanks to @adriansdigitalbasement.com ‘s video on converting a bus mouse to an Archie one, I was able to repurpose the same old Logitech C7 in just 10 minutes. Also in the picture a 4:3 ViewSonic I got for $5 from a local guy.

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Challenger tragedy. Mind-blowing that almost no news outlet has remembered it—not even NYT. That day is seared into my memory in the same way 9/11 is. I was living in my home country at the time, and I remember myself as a kid crying in front of the TV.

Well these are damn good! Thanks @cencio1976.bsky.social

Archimedes A3020 - a UK expat in Houston put it up for sale on a local retro computing Facebook group. I had to get it. Now I need to find a bus mouse to convert to the Acorn pinout, and a monitor. #Acorn #Archimedes #A3020

This started it all

I'm no purist when it comes to participating in things we all know are bad. I try to reduce my harm but I'm an honest hypocrite. I won't judge you for still using Spotify, just try this rad alternative. I'm listening to music from Dar es Salaam. Where will you listen to? radio.garden/listen/furah...

YouTube changed the tv app and on the subscriptions tab, instead of ordering the videos by most recent, it is now ordering by “most relevant” and it’s now totally useless. I’ve already watched those videos. This SUCKS! #youtube

Watching A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE and THE DIPLOMAT. With all the hyper-competent, dedicated civil servants, they feel more like STAR TREK episodes than anything resembling the corrupt, cowardly reality we’re in now.

Don’t waste your time watching A House of Dynamite Just awful

How miserable has to be someone’s life, to just troll the world to feel alive?
