@SmartmanApps @thomasfuchs "Upgrade"?

@blitzcitydiy The n64/ps1/Saturn era 3d graphics are rough.

They're like Atari 2600/Intellivision/Vic 20 era graphics for 2d.

Passable but not the thing you miss about the games.

@thomasfuchs The most consistent thing about Windows's (and all of Microsoft's) UX is how inconsistent it is.

@mmu_man @tth oh really? The plot thickens.

We repaired one of these on-stream a couple of years ago. Now it is time to add its schematic to the Bit Preserve archive.

@geekmomprojects Left and Right could be side-based Hi-Five counters.

It's the one email "newsletter" people actually want to receive.

If you're hosting a reoccurring event, please set up an email list for future events!

I always find out about small meetups two weeks after the date. And so few have a way to get notified about the next one.

And no, having a Facebook group doesn't count. *eyeroll*

... and done! Only found 5 bugs in KiCad 8! :)

@48kRAM An hour after I can’t go get it.

@48kRAM It might be Monday for me. I checked this morning, and the package was at the local DHL hub. I just got the out-for-delivery notification!

But I probably won't be able to get it until Tomorrow. :(

@48kRAM Just wait until you get to the 3rd flash drive and find out it is faulty.

@48kRAM what an old timer. This one remembers when computers had fans. lol.
