@thecomputerclan I totally bought one brand new back in ‘99. I was working for Compaq at the time and doing early Windows 2000 stuff, so I thought a console that ran Windows CE was going to be the coolest thing around. 😆

Hello! Would you like to help with my next episode?
If you owned a Dreamcast back when it was new, I would love to interview you. Please DM or email me! Thanks. ❤️
(P.S. If anyone is familiar with the Dreamcast homebrew community, I would also like to talk with you!)

@S4n_Franc15co It’s not the board itself, but the coil they’re using that’s not large enough for the NFC card form factor
English
@whatskenmaking Does it work on other versions? If so I need to mail them and wait for a new board....
English
@Pezz82Mister It likely is that revision. I don’t think the coil is large enough to use with NFC cards. Thanks 👍
English
@whatskenmaking I have a grey founders I suspect it's this revision, and the NFC doesn't work,

@thomin @lorenzoherrera Holy smokes, you went next level on that! The build looks awesome. Great work!

This has gone on for long enough, I just wanted share my first little 3D printing project. Thanks again to @lorenzoherrera and @whatskenmaking. I already have an idea for the next one, which will also be retro inspired but for a completely different use-case.
English
So, I recently acquired a 3D Printer. And I came across @lorenzoherrera 's DEC Mini via @whatskenmaking. I adapted the design to my needs and out came the following machine.

@briancryptonix @KytorIndustries Yep… once again penalized for making the right choice 😆

The original timeline stretched, but the RetroTap reveal and release timeline announcement is TOMORROW!
Kytor@KytorIndustries
New product announcement! There are incredible high-quality audio/video solutions for our retro consoles, but power has been sadly neglected. Not anymore. Introducing the RetroTap -- retro gaming power system. Wire up to 10 consoles to a single power distribution block! /1

I sat down with Dave Ziembicki, one of the engineers who built the Commodore 64. We talked chip design, Jack Tramiel, and what it was like inside MOS in the early '80s. Also, a special appearance by @commodoreofcl! Full interview is live now.

It was great looking at the Commodore 64 Ultimate, but the real treat was spending some time with one of the original engineers, Dave Ziembicki. My C64U teardown is out now, and I'll be posting my interview with Dave next week. Enjoy!

@geerlingguy @SmorglesBord The lawyers profit the most, but as an individual author, I submitted claims for all of my books they inhaled and certainly expect to get a check from Anthropic after the suit settles.
English
@SmorglesBord Who gets that money?
Not me. Not the other individual authors.
English
I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.
These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.
Anthropic@AnthropicAI
We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

This video took way longer to make than expected... but it's finally here. In this release, I made a Game Bub (revision 2) from scratch. This build is not for the faint of heart - but it's a very cool device. Enjoy!

Also thanks for all your great vids in 2025, I look forward to some more Ken stuff in 2026 🎉
All the best to you and the family

One of my favorite things about this time of year is spending time with family. My daughter Nora and I had a lovely time enjoying this year’s Christmas package from PCBWay. Thank you, @PCBWayOfficial for thinking of us! We’re looking forward to some fun and interesting projects together in 2026. 🎉
