dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 8hMy 16 pro is at 94% presently with a charge count of 429. I’ve noticed it dipping down below 20% since updating to 27.x, is that a known thing for this update? 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 9h…and that’s if you believe the government figures, as they all massage them. The real inflation figure is likely much higher, so the growth (reduction) would be more noticeable, but sure. It’s a golden age for American (billionaires). 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 18hIt does not. It’s old skool and barely has any kind of processor. Boring story: I took the casing off the clean and polish it a few months ago, and it was so simple that it was painful. Just a couple of temp sensors to stop you burning your bread. Allegedly. 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 20hCan we get this on the soon-to-be-released Vectrex Mini? Please? ❤️ 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 20h…and why in the name of all that’s wholly inappropriate did they put a peeled banana emoji next to it??? 🤨 100
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I really should spin up my gaming rig one of these days. I seem to be spending most of my time mucking about with old macs these days. 😊 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I have some nightmares booked for later. 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026We already know their main goal is to continue engagement, just like social media. It’s an attention whore at its core, and every time you fall into its trap, you’re accelerating climate change. 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Most chatbots are sycophantic suck ups with serious personality disorders, and absolutely zero confidence in what they say. Correct them, and you get “absolutely” and on they go, bullshitting for oligarchs. You wouldn’t hang around with a human that did that, so use AI? Artificial Incompetence 🤨 120
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If you haven’t done a book yet, you really should. Genuine lol over here in England. 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026He’s going to grow up to be a banker or CEO. 060
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I’m starting to lose faith in that happening. People have been saying that other countries are investigating for months now, but we’ve yet to hear a word. I want to be proven wrong, but every month it gets more unlikely in my view. 130
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I’ve always taken exception to the inflation figures put out by governments, which undercuts lived experience by quite a margin. It’s done for a reason, and that’s to convince everyone that it’s ok when it isn’t. It hides the huge increases in the real world rather conveniently. Fuel for example. 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Looks good 👍 I’m sure you have one, but if not, there’s one under a pile of Amigas in my workshop 😉 110
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I could only afford one at the time. The rest were TDK C90s that were lying around. Fun times. 😉 I’d not heard of Owon, and was looking at the RIGOL DS1102Z-E, which seems to have a similar spec. I know even less about them, so everyone is an expert compared to me. 😵 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I’ve just noticed your C15 computer cassette tape. It reminded me that I used to have one when I was a kid. The things you forget, eh? Incidentally, what oscilloscope do you have. Thinking of getting a proper one. 110
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The scenic route. That would give me about the same time it would take to brew a coffee from scratch, then wash the frother etc., just in time for the loader to crash out! 😱 020
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Loading games from actual tape onto a C64, for those moments when you feel that life is just too long 😉 130
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Quite. Then they’d have the perfect excuse to get their gun off, and point out your weapon lying next to your cooling body as the only justification they needed. Foolish macho bullshit. 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I’m not religious in any way shape or form, and that guy needs a good slap for talking to anyone like that, let alone the pope. It alls strikes me as a little “staged”. 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Thanks for the info. I’m currently wrangling a bunch of old hardware from Apple - MacBooks, PowerBooks and G4 mini, Power Mac G5 etc., so what’s one more to add to the list? 😆 110
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The words “smash that like button” make determined not to, as it sets my teeth on edge. 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 03/10/2026A hearty Woop Woop if they have, although does the UK have a different distribution now we’re… y’know. 100
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Cool, thanks. Will have to see if there’s one closer to the other end of the M56. I enjoy fixing things, but an early start could be difficult. 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Where in/around Manchester does the cafe take place? I always try to fix my own gear at home, but it’d be interesting to see/hear a bit more about it. Is it random people bringing stuff, or do you fix your own with equipment at the cafe? 110
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Stealing diesel, and one of them dobbed himself in with the rozzers. Could they be morons? MAGAts in so many ways. 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026How big is it? I draw the line for picking them up to relocate at 3”. Any bigger than that and they can walk themselves out! We have a strict no-kill policy in my house for spiders, which is tricky, because I’m the only one not phobic about them. I get to be the saviour tho, which is nice. 😊 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yeah, I know. I have two VPNs on my desktops (one I got a free upgrade to my security package), but I find using them on my iPhone to be a bit of a faff. If something is really interesting, I’ll send the link to my desktop for when I’m next sat there. Yes, I still have a desktop 🤫 011
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It’s a UK thing. A lot of continental US sites locked us out years ago. A vpn would be the only way for me to see it. I don’t have one on my phone. 100
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Can’t read the article because I’m not in the US, but I hope they can do it. There should be consequences for using your power to attempt to ruin people’s lives by fabricating frivolous lawsuits against them simply for exercising their constitutional right to protest. 1123
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Got the PSU for my new (to me) Mac Mini G4 today. Cleaned it up, found it was a 1.5Ghz (1.42Ghz advertised) with maxed out RAM, and ran MorphOS on it for a short while. Might have a squint inside at the HDD and swap it for an mSATA later. #macminig4 #morphos #retrocomputing #retrocomputers 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 01/10/2026That constant visual noise would drive me mad in hours. It’s not even expensive or stylish. It’s just gold for the sake of gold. 050
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I hope he turns it into a Virus like game. It’s got a different name on the Archie, and I’ve forgotten it. Now I’m trying to remember to dl a card image to try on my spare Pi 400. I’m so easily distracted! 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I’m so using that… providing I can remember it! 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I picked up a copy on launch, but STILL haven’t had time to play. Adulthood is over rated. 020
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It’s a great sketch. 😆 Was only talking about it with my plumber a couple of days ago. Actually, I think Mitchell and Webb are awesome. 100
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The whole British NI system is flawed. Middle band earnings means that if you earn over the current cap, you pay a lower overall rate of tax on earnings. The cap needs removing, & lower band needs to be increased to even out taxation between rich and poor. EE & ER cont should merge for honesty too. 000
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Trouble is, pomegranate can give you real digestive discomfort if you’re unlucky. Ask me how I know. 😳 260
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It would be more productive if Israeli zionists were removed from influencing politics around the world, ostensibly using US aid money to white-wash their genocide in Palestine. It’s not the fault of the Jewish people as a whole, just those that support this evil regime. 150
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 30/09/2026💩happens sadly. Best laid plans and all. I had planned to go out and get supplies to put my bathroom back together after a leak, but my forum is offline, so now I have to fix that while 100s of people gnash their teeth and have to… work instead!!! 😱 010
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As impressive as that is, he does realise that’s not a brain, right? 😱 580
dinglebop.bsky.social @dinglebop.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If that was you or I that had been caught trying to hack government data, we’d be thrown in prison. Why shouldn’t that happen to the directors of these AI companies? If not, why not? “Rules for thee, and not for me” in action again. 1102
