@PLT_cheater Very true. I get experimenting with it in certain areas, but there is a lot of blind faith going on.

@LinuxJedi I've seen a bunch of stuff happening and I'm like "why was the AI hooked into that"

A lot of recent headlines blame AI for outages, lost data, or even companies collapsing. In most cases the real problem isn’t AI. It’s broken operational processes. linuxjedi.co.uk/ai-didnt-destr…

@OldManThatGames The biggest thing is setting Acorn as the type in the config file, otherwise it will read the ADFs wrong. Otherwise defaults usually work, SEL0 I think.

Does anyone have details for what flash floppy configuration I need to add to my recently required A3000 and what jumper settings are

Woohoo!! Thank you! Just in time for the weekend, @wolfSSL sent me this #wolfCrypt demo board designed by @LinuxJedi Test drive the STM32, specifically the STM32U585 ARM Cortex along with a #TPM module, the ST33KTPM. All open source. ❤️ Best Cryptography Library 🏆

@courtneyr_dev So, this is mostly UK oriented, but is neutral and designed for kids to consume: bbc.co.uk/newsround This might be a good way to find one: commonsensemedia.org/lists/best-new…

📰 Parents: My 4th grader has a voracious appetite for news. When I was that age, my parents watched the 6-7pm local/national news, got newspapers, and radio. In an on-demand world, what news outlets are appropriate for a 5th-grade reading level, given how much to reveal to kids?

@jessfraz Perfect! Thank you for sharing it. At some point this week I'll write my own based on C and my workflow and incorporate some of this!

@LinuxJedi Yes!

This is my .codex/AGENTS.md it’s pretty ocd and pedantic but that should not be a shocker Tell me shit you do that you can’t live without and I missed github.com/jessfraz/dotfi…

@JohnLoony Red Panda got edited out, something to do with the song being offensive given what happened in Switzerland

The Radio Times has got six acts listed for episode 1/8 of #MaskedSingerUK, but Joel is talking about the next one (the fifth one, after we have had four already) as the last one. What’s going on? It’s bad enough that it’s scheduled to overlap with #TheTraitorsUK

@courtneyr_dev I still find Nerf darts occasionally hidden around the house. My youngest who had the Nerf gun moved out a couple of years ago 😂

Undecorating the tree and husband pulls a Nerf dart out, inquiring where this came from. My bet is on him actually. 🤣

Floppy-based MIDI playback, no computer required. Bringing a faulty Roland SoundBrush SB-55 back into use alongside my SC-55. linuxjedi.co.uk/reviving-a-rol…

@NebularNerd I think AGP wasn’t stable until Socket 370 / Socket A era. Which I suspect is the cause of a lot of issues. I went from K6-2 to Dual Pentium 3 700MHz back in the day.

@LinuxJedi They were, I went big with AMD from the K6-2's up until the Core2Duo era. Still like their chips now but they always seem to have twitchy motherboard issues.

A Socket 7 Upgrade: Moving Beyond the 486 From a well-loved 486 DOS build to a K6-2 Socket 7 upgrade, chasing better Quake performance and seeing where the limits really are. linuxjedi.co.uk/a-socket-7-upg… #RetroComputing #DOS #Quake

@NebularNerd This was definitely the start of the first big rise of AMD. The Athlon secured it back then.

@LinuxJedi K6-2 and 3 were the best. So much performance per £ back in the day. Ran nice and cool as well.

@jgavinray Peak DOS gaming here 🙂

@LinuxJedi That brings back some memories...

Preview image from the next blog post I’ve been writing…

@kevin2m4 Oh wow! I remember when those coolers were the new hotness 🙂

@LinuxJedi With a zalman orb cooler that I still have running on my current pc I had my k62 at 500

@nickmorrott I think I had a very similar setup around then. Great gaming setup for the time.

@LinuxJedi Happy days! I remember back in the later 90s having a K6-2 450 and a Voodoo card (both probably in the attic), and Quake I/II never looked so smooth!

@Gammitin I figured this would be right up your street. Between you and me, I have a faulty Voodoo Rush board coming for it to repair 🙂

@LinuxJedi Love this Andrew, nice one! 👍👍👍

The ChatGPT year in review is kinda cute.

@Benathon To be sort-of fair, depends on the charger. Some do switching on the low voltage side, bridge after the transformer. But yes, that tweet was… odd.

Homeboy doesn’t know what a full bridge rectifier is
