Yeassssss but I believe it involves some creative fuckery. I’m interested in doing said fuckery but I want to rule out a duff ULA first.

They’re not the same as the little fellas in the ZX Spectrum, which are pretty common. These are big Mostech chips. This one:

Nerd Question: Does anyone know off the top of their head where I can get drop-in replacement RAM chips for the ZX81 in the UK? Before I start searching.

I’ve absolutely ruined my leg. I slipped on wet leaves this afternoon and went cunt up, sprawling onto the pavement. I’ve fully road rashed my shin, twisted my ankle, and murdered my knee. I’m in fucking agony with it.
I want to go for a snack but I don’t think I can deal with hobbling down the bastard stairs.

It’s on the bbc front page here. It’s not much but it’s something.
I suspect there’s a lot of people in power realising it’s weird to condemn it when Russia does it right after saying it’s fine when Israel does it

I used to run my own on the bare OS with no Docker. It was a gargantuan ballache.

Sat here at a desk with my Thinkpad T480 and my G4 iMac. I feel like I've arrived at some sort of nerd utopia.

At this point, you’re less likely to be catastrophically owned by downloading a cracked copy of Windows Vista from a Russian torrent site.

I totally understand why you might want to boycott #Eurovision entirely and I respect that. I feel the best thing I can do is raise awareness through the only skill I have: Being annoying and abrasive on the internet.

I'll try to tag all the posts for your convenience. #Eurovision

2024-05-11 18:34:34

Warning: I'll be watching #Eurovision later and commenting. My commentary will be a touch more political than it usually is. I get that this is crossing over into Politics so please mute that hashtag if you're not up for hearing a whole bunch of opinions.

This was the project they were using. I was thinking of using it myself to build a mini terminal http://www.fabglib.org

I did see a video about a project using an ESP32 to make a TTL serial terminal, which could be paired with a Max3232 to convert it to RS232. Don’t know if that helps or not!
