Sleek, simple to use, powerful, and boots directly into games when required but is also a versatile machine capable of running desktop software? Plays nicely with TVs and monitors? Great controller support? It can only be... Huh? You were expecting a photo of a Steam Machine?

#scamalert unauthorized use of my and others’ images on this scam site that claims you can get in touch with various cybersecurity people through them. Pretty sure neither @schneier.com nor I have phone numbers in India 🤦🏻‍♀️

Literally exactly what the Founders worried about. Exactly.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die

...the option to save the game anywhere, any time, during any thing. Adults have interrupts to deal with.

Did you know that from 1991 to 1995, more than 200 demos were featured on national French TV in the show named "Micro Kid's"? Here's an anthology! peertube.fenarinarsa.com/w/24nDZWh5Er... #demoscene

Tech people think we want AI, robots, and a colony on Mars but what I actually want is garbage bags that aren't scented.

If anyone out there has one of these Soyo Soyo SY-6VBA133 Slot 1 motherboards, could you take a photo of this voltage regulator please, I need to replace mine as it's been cut off. I've seen one with a AMS1084CT, but they used alternatives, need to identify the right one. Cheers

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles. Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

I make my own for my personal collection. I design, print and make everything from official art. I buy my games on GOG so I can burn the offline installers to DVD,Blu-ray discs. I bought optical disk printer so they look like press made.

A wild video appears this Thursday morning! I found a new toy 😁 Control your #Linux box from your #ZXSpectrum! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF63...

Pray, Mr. Altman, if you put into the machine correct figures, will the right answers come out?

Priorities.

I love the Amiga Demoscene but sometimes I watch an AGA accelerated demo and feel like "Hey - you know it's okay to just make a PC demo, right?"

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

We're having fun with fellow Amiga retro geeks at Amiga40 in Mönchengladbach, Germany! 🕹️❤️ #amiga #retrogamedev #amiga40

It doesn’t quite beat Hades II with its ability to pet the frog, but the opening to Lumo 2 has me HOWLING at the mysterious egg-like corpse in its opening room. RIP Dizzy. You aren’t missed at all.

Machinarium turns 16 today 🤖

Trump can simply give $40 billion in US tax money to his pals in Argentina, openly admit it is for the intended purpose of keeping the MAGA allied right wing government in power, and pocket billions for himself. The US has no laws anymore and that's your money they are stealing.

As it's almost Halloween, time for some horror... 😱 #retrocomputing

I started using a Linux-based OS in 1996. I've installed Slackware from floppies. I was VP of my LUG in college. I compiled my own kernel for years. I've run Linux on Sparc, x86, amd64, PowerPC, and multiple flavors of ARM. Telling me to "Run Linux" solves zero of my computing problems. Thanks.

Get into retro gaming they said. It’ll be fun they said.

Really REALLY starting to understand the tech landscape today as the age of "loss of consent". My settings don't stay set. Features are forced on me either forced upgrades or by inclusion with a critical security patch. I increasingly have ZERO CHOICE in my interactions with computers.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

I truly think the Games Industry would be in a much better place, creatively, if everyone had more exposure to DOS Shareware games.

US peeps, before I eBay it, anyone need a Atari 800? Working, comes with full RAM complement. Pretty clean, a few key caps are a bit loose but type fine. No power supply or other extras. (DM me a dollar amount of what you’d be willing to pay and your zip so I can give you a shipping estimate!)

A very special #MODtober today. This is what happens when you don't have a soundchip. ZX Spectrum Beeper tune made in 1tracker. Check the youtube for more details and why it was a unique challenge to capture this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHmr...
