I'm not even a huge StarTrek guy, but this was a fascinating watch and a really interesting BTS peek at something that I think most of us retro computing people have seen. "The keyboard...how quaint!"

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop? #windows95

We got a few questions about the Ultra SCSI Fast20 beta firmware so I wanted to share some details! This is an overclock to the Pico1/2 that allows the latter to almost saturate a 20MB/sec Ultra SCSI Fast20 bus! Real world results will vary of course, but here’s what we’ve seen so far! (1/6) 🧵

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific. This is 21st century Nazism. Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised. Where is the global outrage? The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.
