Agree with you; there's some classics from the 8 bit era and its a cool project to build your own way back emulation machine. I did one 8 years ago and I put it into an arcade cabinet. It gets used at parties as everyone can pick up and have a go.

 

The combined computing power of **every ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 ever sold — over 22 million machines — is still 47,000 times weaker than a single NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU.

Those iconic 8-bit legends that shaped the childhoods (and careers) of millions delivered about 0.0022 TFLOPS of raw compute power — together. Meanwhile, the RTX 5090, built for today's AI and graphics workloads, pushes 104.8 TFLOPS on its own.

What a time to be alive.

Inspirining... :=)

 

Anyone else think the current US administration used good old Baghdad Bob as a role model for their press conferences? They have taken it to the next level... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/iraq-war-10-years-later-where-are-they-now-mohammed-flna1C8956468

To be fair I pretend to be my own secretary when answering cold callers.. I urge others to do the same. You can get them running round in loops..

Bitwarden for me too. Small price to pay. Signal is another and tend to chuck a few euros to lots of small freeware developers if I use their software often.

Lost - seriously fuck that show Prison Break Heroes The Walking Dead Dexter

Are the first to spring to mind…

Around Black Friday time they have had sales and you get both for a year for around 20€ so the lifetime subscription doesn’t look so much of an attractive deal.

Seriously though not sure why all images are in this orientation. From where I am (South Germany) it’s actually upside down. Was told to rotate it 180 degrees as that the way it’s normally depicted..

Pisser isn’t it.. ;-)

It blow my mind too. The scale of everything is just crazy. To think this is over 2.5 million light years away and the number of stars in it is about double the Milky Way. All the stars we see are closer and the galaxy is much further in the background. Just been watching a fantastic YouTube video about Andromeda and the whole space/time phenomenon is just mind blowing.. What a time to be alive to be able to capture and see these things without specialised equipment.. Amazing!

Used a sky adventurer 2i. (Brilliant piece of kit)
