Turns out you can get laser cut sheet metal ~10x cheaper by pretending it's a solder paste stencil and ordering from @jlcpcb.bsky.social. Suck it, SendCutSend!

I just picked up this copy of the European budget release of The Secret of Monkey Island. The gold embossing is gorgeous in person, and the Dial-A-Pirate code wheel is intact!

This is my Dell GYIAT that I need to retrobright. It's one of the original Dell AT101 keyboards that was made by Alps and it's awesome, I almost like it as much as the Apple Extended Keyboard M0115. You can really see the Yellowing here, compared to that Northgate Omnikey on the right.

Apple Records and Apple Computer tangled over trademark infringement, settling when Apple agreed to stay out of the music business. But then Apple released the Apple IIgs with an Ensoniq synthesizer in it, so Apple Records sued. dfarq.homeip.net/when-apple-r... #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing

I went about 12 years without using my health insurance. Pretty common for men in their late 20s and into their 30s. Moral of the story: Use your health insurance once a year whether you need to or not, so you don't lose it.

It was 54 years ago that AMD held its IPO. It's easy to forget AMD is that old, and that AMD processor logic powered most 1970s minicomputers, so they were no stranger to enterprises when they started selling x86 CPUs. dfarq.homeip.net/amds-ipo-sep... #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing

I don't know if this gets talked about too much, but we are starting to get a lot of archive requests that feel like LLM-generated research slop. The second one was a real bummer, I pulled the book and tried to help them, then got a second near-identical email a week later from a different address.
