@MonstersGo @Google No ideas come to mind that don't require time travel and several Arnold Schwarzeneggers.

@Google How can we disable this ?

@mdf200 @kilianhekhuis @LinuxJedi With the C64 core, a SuperCPU might well work on the #MEGA65. I can't think of a reason why not, apart perhaps from the SuperCPU having trouble physically fitting if it hangs over the left side of the port, where the MEGA65's power jack goes.

@kilianhekhuis @LinuxJedi Yes, the next allows all original ZX Spectrum peripherals to be plugged in the back via the edge connector - which is dammed impressive.... Mega65 - I'm not sure. it does have the same cartridge port, so perhaps - Though I'd be astonished if it allowed the SuperCPU etc.

I've taken to blocking any @youtube channel that does anything with the commander X16. I refuse to have anything even remotely to do with the pro-open carry gun nut, 8bit guy. It's a boring machine, created by uncaring nutter. Fuck him and anyone who associates with him.

@LAK132 ooh, nice! Interested to hear how it goes. Should be quite possible, I think.

@LAK132 Calypsi C seems a good option for #MEGA65 with its ability to have >64KB code. X11 and/or SSL libraries might be possible with it.

@antoniovil @MEGA65Retro @benitoss @kounch nice work! Great to see more folks able to have fun with the #MEGA65

New core for ZXTRES+ and ZXTRES++. @MEGA65Retro core ported by @benitoss. Video by @kounch

@LAK132 How fast does it synthesise with that?

@stationmum101 Poor guy. Hope he's doing fine. Roos are such random 40kg lumps of self-accelerating muscle when it comes to roads. I believe the self-driving car stuff still has no way to reasonably predict their motion, unlike almost other road-side animals.

In today’s episode you of shit you wouldn’t read about: a kangaroo knocked one of our blokes off a moving motorbike.

Currently state of affairs: #StationLife

@stationmum101 aww, no road ranger double-clutch dog boxing for you? ;)

I’m a big time truck driver 😂 #StationLife

Update: It works!!! We’re able to see a 2mm wide plastic ball at 30 centimeters, with only 1/1300th of our planned transmitting power. This validates our SNR budget and gets us closer to our final goal: tracking and killing mosquitoes at a 3meters range

@stationmum101 Makes sense. I wonder how hard it would be to modify a cardboard box to automatically shut... no cat can resist jumping in one on sight ;)

@servalpaul We actually want to see the cats so we know what we’re dealing with. When our new traps turn up we will hopefully be able to observe them being caught so we can deal with them asap.

The parrots from yesterday obviously spread the word about the new watering hole. #CritterCam #StationLife

@stationmum101 so long as it's not during bushfire season. Very handy on those frosty outback winter mornings, though. ;)

So yeah. That was my morning. Oh & apparently I have been blessed by 10,000 flaming angels. So that’s a bonus.

Would you like to hear a wild story? Who am I kidding of course you would. Today on my way to Adelaide I picked up a hitchhiker. 🧵

@Asher_Wolf No shame in an early night.

@ectom0rph nope, it's a real retro phone, with retro ease of use.

@servalpaul Following! 😮 (perhaps some kind of Ethernet based dialup modem?)

Guesses welcome as to what I am making with my #MEGA65 :)

@jaseinblack @MEGA65Retro close ;) Except it's a land-line. Someone I know needs a simple to use "land-line" phone, but everything you can buy for that is pretty crusty based on our collective experience. In other words, we need a retro phone :)

@servalpaul @MEGA65Retro

@Asher_Wolf @skdh ... it should also be said that much of the problem here is lack of education and quality of education, which means that people aren't equipped for processing complicated information.

@Asher_Wolf actually large portions of most populations struggle with "complicated information". This is also why flat earthers abound. You are 100% right that simple messaging is required to combat this. See backreaction.blogspot.com/2020/08/flat-e… for @skdh's great discussion on this. Vital reading.

@stationmum101 It's how you know cost of living is biting: Even the kangaroos are skipping the cost of a premium paint job and opting for "boring white" instead ;)

Omg! Is this a white kangaroo? #StationLife #CowCam

@NibblePibbly @StevenCombs Yes, there is still something about datasette loading (when you don't have to do it that way ;). I also want to experiment to see how much data I can cram on a tape with the faster CPU.

@servalpaul @StevenCombs Oooh. Datasette port. Colour me interested now. I have lots of games on tape for the C64 😀

I am so stoked about this MEGA≡65 add on board. Take my money, please.
