Taking the latest tech with me on the bus. #3gs

Felt cute, might delete later.

@thomasfuchs @vga256 Is gumroad the bad road?

@vga256 Personally, I've used Etsy and eBay as marketplaces and have sold directly through a Square shop, and they've all worked pretty well. I know folk who have used gumroad, but can't vouch for it myself. There are bound to be others around too.

@vga256 Etsy’s fees are heinous, but it *does* have a big pre-ready audience of buyers who are already primed to be paying silly prices, so decide how much you need to actually receive for a thing and then add Etsy's fees on top, rather than letting Etsy eat into it.

There's no reason you can't list on multiple platforms with different prices depending on each platform's fees, too. Each will get you an additional audience!

What the what?

Just rediscovering an old hobby: sitting on hold to British Airways because they've cancelled a flight on me again ?

So many long-gone services.

Hey nerds, how about another #MARCHintosh giveaway?

Y'all seemed pretty enamoured with the button badges and with Oscar, so I've combine the two! Got the StyleWriter 2400 to print out screenshots of The Grouch and turned them into badges!

Want one? Give this toot a like, and we'll get the HyperCard Hat-o-matic to draw two random names tomorrow night (Wednesday 22 March)

Oh wow, that brings back some memories: a fake Flash-is-out-of-date warning just poped up!

@thomasfuchs Completely! Incredible how it's endured for so long.

Friday evening and my legs are all covered.

One claimed, four left to give away!
#LiveLaughLocalTalk

Do you like slow networking speeds? Do you enjoy sticking things on stuff? Well, read on…

It's the fifth day of #MARCHintosh and I have five little sheets of six #LiveLaughLocalTalk stickers that all need good homes.

So let's have a silly little giveaway! The first five folk who say they want a sheet of stickers get a sheet of stickers :D

@thomasfuchs After 3 comes 95.

It works it works it works!

Move over Siri. Step aside Alexa. We officially have voice-controlled home automation using a 90s PowerBook :D

And it’s every bit as speedy as you would expect ?

#RetroComputing

Right then, let’s see how this goes… installing speech recognition onto the worst Mac model ever. #RetroComputing

The answer so far is… microphonelol!

Let's see if the ol' MacRecorder works on a machine this newfangled.

Hummmm... it kind of works for a split second before stopping recording. And then sometimes crashing.

And this type of Apple microphone doesn’t seem to work with this type of Apple computer. Definitely don’t have a PlainTalk one hiding anywhere either.
