New super-terrible #MARCHintosh idea just dropped…

I still have some of those iron-on sheets that go through the #ImageWriter. The ImageWriter is available on #GlobalTalk, complete with colour ribbon if desired.

You could make beautiful things to print out onto an iron-on transfer here, and then I could post that sheet back to you for you to apply to a garment to make it the highest of fashion statements 🖨️👕

Ghostly commuting at New Cross.

Fomapan 400, f/22, 8 seconds, I think.

Do you ever wish you could touch computers like a normal person? Like, being happy using your chromebook to receive conspiracy theories from family members on facebook, and then when the machine stops working just curse it and get a new one as part of a special offer with your mobile phone plan?

You know how sometimes you restart Linux and it gives you a kernel panic and you melt into a pile of despair, but then leaving the machine off and alone for five minutes makes it sad and then it all works again?

Y’know, it's kind of nice to see Apple finally using the Mac mini to show solidarity with the power bottom community.

Mushrooms on a poo!

This looks like a suburb.

It looks like you've got roads. It looks like you've got driveways. It looks like you've got places for detached houses.

But then it's not. There's no houses. There's no people. The roads aren't paved. It's just… logging.

It's the equinox this weekend. Then the nights start winning. 🌚

Google/Youtube have started occasionally swapping ‘Accept all' and 'Reject all’ cookies buttons, so you can't just automagically know where to aim anymore 💩

It’s a nice day. Work is in a hurry-up-and-wait phase. Let’s try getting AppleTalk running over barbed wire again!

Cat rediscovering the delights of a warm CRT. #caturday #RetroComputing

@mac84tv It really is! Such a nifty idea, and works surprisingly well. Have you seen the teardown that @keelan did a while back? https://beefchicken.com/retro/thunderscan

The ThunderScan is kind of working! The scanning nozzle is definitely picking up data and sending that to the 512 :D But the printer isn’t moving on its own, so I’m guessing I need to swap some tx and rx stuff around with my janky home brew cable :D

@ActionRetro That keyboard layout >.<

Steady now, here comes my passion.

Wow, setting the IIgs to monochrome gives a way way better crisper image than I would have guessed

@thomasfuchs Ahhh, right. The ones I've come across before always end up saying out of stock once you try going through to check shipping costs, but this one sticks with it all the way. Cancelling soon after wouldn't be surprising.

This can't be real, can it? A PowerBook 3400 replacement battery that supposedly in stock and $28 and $8 shipping. Seems too good to be true. https://www.batterymall.com/en-gb/products/powerbook-3400c-laptop-battery-apple-macintosh-m3654

Remember! Restart your computer 15 to 20 times.
