Oh, also: I am plugged into a big enough charger with a cable I thought should be appropriate quality… I have lost 5% battery since starting the compile 😅

So far i have no trackpad, no keyboard, no touchbar, and the USB is a bit unstable… also no wifi, no audio. I guess I am lucky I have an UI at this point…

Fun idea if the day: let’s install #Linux in my 2020 #Macbook pro Me 4 hours later: attempting to #compile my own #kernel to get any driver working… Of course it didn’t just work…

For everything there is an adapter… except for 5,25“/shugart floppy to USB, as I just learned today…

It really seems like they were eventually actually reading your responses. I always thought these are only bots with an automated chain of answers 🤔

I just finally replaced the battery in my #Pokemon Red Modul for the original #Gameboy. The cell still had 3.174V despite being at least 22 years old and slightly leaky! I suspect it must have been replaced just before I got the module (in 2005/6) Managed to keep my old save too!

fun fact: After testing WinRAR for a reasonable amount (about 25 years) I was actually satisfied and bought a license. And for anyone interested: Its literally just an archive called "rarkey.rar" and opening it activates the Install, no questions asked... (inside there is one file "rarreg.key")

It’s a minor difference… but it’s a difference… After using „TheA500 Mouse“ on an actual Amiga 500, I gotten myself an original mouse. The larger body fits my hand better, while the optical sensor and fresher crisp buttons of the new one are nicer. If the new one would actually work right…

In the end I got everything back together. I really hoped to get the original shell off in a condition where I could put it back together, but that didn’t happen….

FitzOblong @fitzoblong.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Well - things went smooth, till I had to get the original hinches out… which where held in with plastic clips and a tight fit. Unfortunately the old case didn’t gave them up voluntarily. Also there was a slight error in the official video guide of the kit I got which made it a lot more difficult.

Got myself a new little project: I found it’s time to retire the 24 years old shell of my GBA SP, since it’s quite literally disintegrating. There are lots of cool shells to buy, I decided for that black and gold one. It was my second choice, as my first one is unavailable…

Since it’s currently popular I want to say I really adore Alexander. He is more on the same wavelength as me. Ryan is a cutie and conrad a certified derg. But Alex truly needed those timeouts in the wash… #DragnWash

Idk… if you’re trying to use a switch 1 as a PC you should expect trouble…

I used to have that wheel/a wheel, too but with the 3 pedals variant of those. Has proven really unreliable, expect the table mount to wear out quickly if it isn’t already…

Then again the used market for PC has been basically dead too since Steam… Both devices are too expensive for what they are. Hardware in general is too expensive nowadays… Personally I can’t declare either of them a clear winner or loser 🤔 Two different devices for two different markets

That counts for Germany at least. Maybe other countries are further, but I still don’t see it happening powering all the trucks with electricity right now. The math doesn’t math.

FitzOblong @fitzoblong.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
That’s the point where theory and practice start to drift apart. I actually happened to speak with someone working with gas trubines. He clearly stated that solar and wind can’t handle a sudden spike in electricity need, and that gas turbines are used to quickly deliver those surges.

Btw, I think my Apple Watch has returned to normal by now

FitzOblong @fitzoblong.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
I think you’re giving wind and solar a bit too much credit. I doubt you can get enough power to charge a battery the size for the super trucks in a reasonable time.

FitzOblong @fitzoblong.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
We’ll probably use diesel more for power production till we got enough power from other ways. The demand for the energy isn’t going away just because we switch medium. Might actually be not so bad though, generators can run in more optimal conditions then engines in trucks 🤔

When you see that the 8 Tb drive on your NAS is almost full but you are sure it should still be a few years of data hoarding before that happens… 🤔

I wonder why they have OSX and macOS separately, they are the same or am I missing something? Anyways, interesting to see that windows slowly gets the bill for their bulls*it... maybe with the rise of Linux we finally get more software and especially games being ported to there...

I once used pihole till I gave up because it didn’t seem to work well. Websites always found a new ad server to load ads from. Does that stuff still work?

für die Elektrifizierung von LKWs brauchen wir in Deutschland noch einige Investitionen in Energieerzeugung, bei der Menge an LKWs wird das Aufladen kritisch. Zumal mir auch noch keine Rastplätze aufgefallen sind auf denen LKWs laden könnten...

It did clean up better than expected though… I probably wouldn’t bother with this board at all and suspect most of its components broken, but who knows, maybe it’s fixable against all odds…

You are right there. AI datacenters havent yet been build near me. So, I read they use fossil fuels for power generation… that is an issue

Ok, one question: where is that „barely breathable air“ coming from? Pretty sure the air quality was way worse 20-30 years ago than it is now? Like, we have way better exhaust treatment in vehicles, less oil and coal heaters in houses. It can’t be that bad, can it?

I see. So it’s running as supposed to. The undervolting does help it a little after all. I don’t think I will switch to AM5 anytime soon. Maybe never the path the whole industry goes…

we are mostly GPU bottle necked now anyways... what is amazing is how my Mainboard holds on. It's from the "Ryzen 3000 Ready!" time... 😅 I don't like where this all is going to, the elites want and probably will force most into cloud gaming soon just with the prices for hardware...

Probably the most expensive ingredient so that’s why they are like that…

I don't like that even liquid cooling doesn't really tame the (reported) temperatures anymore... I suppose thats what you get when the package gets smaller and smaller - eventually you just can't even get the heat out of the components anymore like - 70A is a LOT of amperage if you think about it..
100
FitzOblong @fitzoblong.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
yeah, thermals of that CPU just arent great... afterwards It easily reached its 90°C (with Watercooled), although it also pulled its 105W and did turbo up to 4200Mhz on all cores, so I guess thats alright? I did undervolt it a bit, now it runs less hot (and I even gained a bit of Turbo)
100
FitzOblong @fitzoblong.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Using that Liquid Metal as thermal compounds was a mistake. Not only is it a mess to apply, but my thermals also weren’t great at all (maybe a mistake by me applying it), and the stuff seems to be actually corrosive… Wish me luck, noctua thermal compounds is next…

The best I have yet is MOUSTER with an XBox 360 controller. But I feel like that controller is also already suffering from age or the MOUSTER has some strange delay 🤔 Bigger issue: I don’t really have a 2D style controller yet. Closet would be a PS1 digital only one…

FitzOblong @fitzoblong.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
Cool! Now a regular Controller next! There are already some options for joysticks, but I found I don’t really like the economics of joysticks. Normal controllers on the other hand are a bit hard to find with the 9 pin Atari standard…

Lost my Apple Watch a few weeks ago in my house. It was now found, in the wash-dryer in the door seal, after who knows how many times washing clothes. Charged back up, still works amazingly… a few minor scratches on the screen, the grown beaten up, and the speaker maybe a bit less loud than used to
