You may have heard of Maclock, a cute alarm clock that looks like an original Macintosh. But what if it could actually *be* a Mac? Let’s see what it takes — it’s not as hard as you may think! youtu.be/dRr5iVjMfqs

Coming soon to JCM-1, too! Hundreds of em!

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

Finally got a battery-bombed Macintosh SE/30 logic repaired for @davesvinappletech.bsky.social ! Thank you @garthbeagle.bsky.social ! Thank you Jack68k! (Youtube short) youtube.com/shorts/ja88J...

I'm not going to be able to stream Saturday, but I can sneak in a quick stream Friday morning at 10AM EST so that I can rebuild my Blue Point YA3950B (aka Dremel) that sounds like when @museumjoe.bsky.social sings. youtube.com/live/2MaQGe0...

Over on X, the Everything App, serious conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza shared a video of an AI-generated woman on a fake podcast he seemingly thought was real, telling the audience that young women should get with older men. Dude, wtf?

Yes his brain is both smooth and worm-eaten. But also in his world anything short of death is fine, and even death is just like ugh why are we still talking about this

The "AI" version of me looks like he rats out his neighbors for HOA violations He looks like he'd hold up a fish in his Tinder profile He looks like he has a restraining order from an Applebee's bar He looks like he leaves an 8% tip He looks like a guy who'd complain the actual me is too "woke"

Join EFF's online town hall to discuss ways to stay safer and how the digital rights community can help address ICE and CBP's brutality against immigrants, observers, and those seeking to hold them accountable. Livestream on Thursday at 10 AM PT. eff.org/livestream-ice

The increasing number of billionaires in every new release of the Epstein files are another reminder that billionaires shouldn't exist because they're immoral, exploitative hoarders and the world would be better if we abolished every one of them. Billionaires: the only minority destroying humanity.

Couldn’t find the right resistor network, so I built my own, it won’t win any prizes for neatness, but it’ll work

Never let him allow himself to be forgotten or forgiven

Okay, going to try to stream. I only have WeeFees ATM becuase Goose, so I don't know how long I can go, but I want to try, and at least show off the updated studio! Join me for more #Atari 2600 fun at 12:00 PM EDT. twitch.tv/ladyailuros

When people come to me about modding questions and say "well chatgpt said"

Have a listen of it here! 👇 youtu.be/gcDJKhOjFC4

I got up at 5 AM to record with the TWiR crew… totally worth it! It was really fun getting to chat retro with them. What a great bunch!

On Saturday's noon EST stream, I'm going to potentially break a perfectly fine Mac SE/30 logic board by socketing most of the PLCC chips to assist with chip testing. We'll also confirm which chips are required in order to get the Mac to chime. #vintagemacintosh youtube.com/live/Sr5ArA1...

Some glitch.. plasma tv. 📀

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

The PicoIDE Crowd Supply campaign is now live! Back the project to be among the first to get yours! PicoIDE is an open IDE/ATAPI drive emulator for retro systems. www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

It was -11F this morning where I live and the heater to my house broke. Had to teach this morning, so I ran home as soon as I could afterwards and found that the circulation pump ate itself. Could really good vibes that replacing it actually fixed the issue.

@polpo.org joins us this week to talk optical media fragility, "cursed IDE controllers," & more, as ATAPI CD-ROM / IDE fixed hard drive replacement PicoIDE is ready for production. The campaign launches today, see picoide.com for details, and watch this Saturday on This Week in Retro episode 253!

Posted a new video on the 'tube - please check it out. I'm taking a look at the weird and wonderful iomega Fotoshow. Neat and useful or relegated to the junkpile of history? You decide! :) youtu.be/RYZmzJKEz1c

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

um.. ok? ⚡️

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

Is that a rocket in your pocket?..

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

I’ve only read a handful of things about Alex Pretti, but I can say with absolute certainty that he did more to improve the world than every ice agent combined.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

Do not watch the video. It’s a bunch of of clearly untrained federal agents unable to contain a chaotic situation, and resorting to summary execution.

As promised, here are four keyboards mated to my mini-IBM PC running Wolfenstein 3D. Let me know which you like: A) IBM Model F (PC and XT) B) IBM Model M (AT) C) Vector (modern, vintage look) D) 8BitDo (modern, vintage look)

It’s too cold out today, so stay inside and warm up with @gutbomb.net ‘s latest hot video featuring my SGI Indigo 2! youtu.be/BzAGCK_Thnw?...
