Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

A scan of the cover of Mac User with a Apple Mac with a blue-tinted paint program open and a sharp-pixel image of a close-up of a cat's face on the screen. Powered by MacLevitation, a mouse hovers in front of it close to the reader's face.

The sooner we stop relying on America the better. As much as that pains me to say. But their leadership clearly do not share our values.

The box for the Tano release of the Dragon 64. A fairly simple breadbox up top on a vaporwave grid, underneath the rainbow Dragon logo; below are pictures of a grown man at a spreadsheet, a grown woman at a database, a boy playing chess, and a boy and a girl playing some grid based two player game.

While the Dragon was designed and built in Wales, a licensing agreement with a New Orleans company meant that you could get the Dragon 64, new in box, until 2017, making the Dragon 64 perhaps one of the longest market stays for any micro.

An image of an Amia computer semi submerged in tropical ocean in an island bay, the monitor on a marble plinth from which a waterfall cascades from the screen. All manner of colorful fish, a toucan, and a flamingo can be seen too.

Reverse engineering a forgotten 1970s Intel dual core beast: 8271, a new ISA Scary Beast Security

The BBC Micro was a multi-core computer. They just didn't tell anyone! A test mode accidentally triggered in 2020 revealed the existance of this second core, with its own instruction set and ROM, the ability to bypass the firmware, and may have revealed some 50-year-old corporate espionage...

Using Rosanne OS on the Amstrad PcW16 this morning. Amazing that a machine with 1mb ram, 1mb rom and 16hz processor could get the job done AND is y2k compliant! Machine did crash NOT in 2025!
