@MaxellCorp Try my interview with @AlsGeekLab host Alistair Ross for @VidaDigital where we talk about all things retro!

Best podcasts for a long flight?? Thank goodness for my headphones have a long battery life 😉😉

Multi-taskin' on the super modded XT! #BBSmrcchat #pfsfirstchoice word processor

@FreddyVETELE Are there any wait states in the ram of the v2?

On the subject of #PicoMEM 2 again. I mesured the timing between Memory Read/Signal and IOCHRDY. The result is the PicoMEM 2 is 2x faster than the #PicoMEM in reaction time. (130 to 75ns) It will allow for more PC Compatible and even more compatible with the EMS emulation.

@FreddyVETELE Sounds great!

@AlsGeekLab So, Wifi is better, RAM is better, it emulate more things, add an RTC and more :) I try to implement sufficient things so that the upgrade is worth the price increase. PicoMEM 2 Will be also really usefull for 486/Pentium, that is the biggest change !

Hi, I got the #PicoMEM 2 proto Wifi working, It seems to be stable and faster. The Signal is 20dB Better ! It is done via the Pi RM2 that cost alone 5$, the cost of a complete Pi Pico. That to say that the PicoMEM 2 Will be more expensive, and I hope really worth it anyway.

@VinnyCalculus Parts 2 & 3 were pretty short, so I bundled them together in one part 😁

@AlsGeekLab Part 4? What happened to 3?

Part 4 of "What would Woz have done if he made the Apple computers (instead of Steve Jobs)" is now up on YouTube! youtu.be/7Z_25mzwDlg?si…

Windows Notepad.exe now has a remote code execution vulnerability. You read that right. Notepad.exe, which used to be a simple text editor, has had so many network connect features added (including AI and Microsoft account subscriptions)… that it now has security vulnerabilities. This CVE is rated as “SEVERE” and given an 8.8 score. cve.org/CVERecord?id=C…

Part two of the series on "What would have happened if Woz made all the Apple computers (instead of Steve Jobs) is out! Check it out! youtu.be/pq1OgPB2JSU?si…

Have you ever wondered what Apple would have been like if Woz made all the Apple computers, not just the Apple II ? patreon.com/posts/video-wh…

@FreddyVETELE No it did not, it did reset the device but no file explorer

@AlsGeekLab Short the pin did work ?

@FreddyVETELE hey Freddy I'm making an upgrade video but totally stuck trying to do a firmware upgrade, do you know what I'm doing wrong? I've tried windows, Linux and Mac and none work - can't see the file browser to drop the firmware upgrade into. Even tried the old 1.1 method!

@FreddyVETELE Yep that's what I tried. I tried 3 cables. I tried even the pico 'pin shorting ' option, but that didn't work either, just in case the button was bad. The green light comes on but no file explorer.

@AlsGeekLab Hi, Did you try another cable ? Press the button then keep the button pressed while plugging in the USB.

@iyoushetwt FORTRAN, COBOL, ADA, BASIC, C, C++, LISP, PASCAL, FORTH, bucket loads more!
