Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The use of a BME280 is made effortless with Adafruit libraries, can be done on the simplest of MCUs 000
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I love that display - what a great idea. I'll pass it on to my grandkids and they'll do the same to theirs. 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I wasn't a football fan, but I really enjoyed this on the C64 020
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I once thought my opinion on him was a minority view (a complede dwad) 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's a good watch just for the scenes with the Mayor and the tales told on the boat. And Robert Shaw, a fine actor. 120
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026And the Blue Max one! Might have to order some :) 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Love the IBM and Zaxxon ones! Could you do Enron or Lehman Brothers? 210
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Supposedly, and quite surprisingly, renowned to be one of the best SimCity experiences 000
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I read as Vimto Warming. Advice for winter. 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026She didn't want to offend her father by proactively changing it, instead wanting it to disappear organically. 120
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026"Don't forget to turn off your bilge pump before bed" 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I worked with a De'Ath. Her sole focus was marriage in order to shake off the surname which had taunted her all through her life. 260
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026"What's the weather like for the week? Let's pop over to the map and.... actually.... umm... let's just go the into the break instead." 000
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Just loaded the car's Kite Storage Area to the brim 040
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026We adopted and I sense some hint at how she was treated in some of her behaviours: I doubt she was physically harmed, but there wasn't much contact that's for sure 110
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Mine (also black) will not let me anywhere near her paws - except when she decides to give me a bop when I remind her it's bed time. 110
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026If someone would sell me a good A1200 I would be very happy. Yes I know they are all over eBay, but I'm not taking the risk from people I don't know or trust 120
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I've been getting my news from CBC recently to avoid the stress from reading news about UK politics, populists, marginal groups and criminals. 120
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026To be honest it was their limited opportunity for joy. I believe they also greedily ate their own snot. 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The were their own worst enemy. Why do we today worship the likes of David Pleasance from Commodore UK? 120
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 02/10/2026But with IMAP all your emails end up on your one client - if that goes pop you've lost everything without a very time-consuming (or compromised) backup startegy 220
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026But it just isn't as convenient unfortunately. And the onus is on you with regards to backups, security and any-device access 110
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Don't blame you. I installed Only Office as it is what the EU are using as sovereign base for its own alternative to MS Office. It's brilliant. 120
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You've got another year with Microsoft on 10, as long as you enrol in the free extended updates. It just helps with the transition and takes the panic away. That's my strategy 220
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026There's a big update coming in the next few weeks - better handling of windows and multi-screen support which are defo needed 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I also have ChromeOS Flex installed on a redundant 2015 i5. It's absolutely rips and has a Linux runtime that suits any additional purposes beyond base. 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I'm quite into Air Defender at present. Again, green screen, terminal-like, goodness. 110
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I've heard good things about CachyOS. There is perhaps too much choice of good distros these days. Does it default to flatpak? 110
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I installed Mint on my Win10 system in prep for Octobergeddon (which Microsoft pushed back to next year): it dual boots with no config required and it's stable (unlike when I last tried it 5 years ago). 030
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If you really don't feel comfortable, try Zorin: it is zero fuss and has all the graphics drivers installed and it's beautiful. Personally I use Mint because I like to think I'm sat at a 1970s terminal, but I always have Zorin available to boot from an external SSD for Steam 110
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026"tried and tested and safest" button, is how I would term it :) 120
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Hang on, fella. I'm no fanboi, but I know there are default options you don't need to change if you don't feel comfortable. Linux has to balance it's draw for being flexible with appeal to non-tech users. 120
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026They were both flawed, that's for sure, but we still loved 'em! 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Good recent interview with Dwight Schultz about how difficult (interesting?) he was to work (as long as it was half a day) with. 110
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I still play this whilst pushing a trolley in Asda. It's the only reliable way of getting to the Whoops! offers. 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You could only watch it on a rented Granada TV set, whilst parked as a Granada service station. 130

Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026"Astra – Das neue Satellitenfernsehsystem für Europa" 010
Chorlton Roadcone @chorltonheehee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Remember, you can bounce your balls at the same time, if you like. 010
