So there I am in the thrift store, cash burning a hole in my pocket, looking for an excuse to break out my soldering iron. On the shelf is a CD+G karaoke machine with a cute little 5 CRT. Now I don t sing (yet), but a device like this speaks directly to me. I even [ ]
There are a lot of great ways to get Bluetooth in your car these days; aftermarket head units, FM transmitters, battery-powered Bluetooth cassettes, dongles that go into the aux port, and even amplifiers with built-in Bluetooth are everywhere. New head units cost less than a pack of toilet paper. But what if you re going for [ ]
Want to just connect? Skip straight to the hardware setup and script sections. WebTV was a service launched in 1996 that brought this amazing new internet craze right into your living room, and it was a pretty compelling device for its time. You could view newsgroups, join IRC chatrooms, send emails, browse the web, [ ]
I m the type of person who gets excited about rare old tech, so you can imagine my delight when I found a $15 travel bag at the thrift store claiming to contain a laptop printer. Inside was a Seikosha LT-20, a dot matrix model I had never heard of before and if search is anything to [ ]
Looking for the code? Skip straight to the GitHub repo. Our modern, technological world is full of distractions. For this reason, when I really want to engage with a book but still take notes, I like to use a very old computer. It still needs to save to my NAS, have good word processing [ ]
I m in the process of replacing my voice assistants with a more private, home-based solution that keeps everything inside the local network. I had originally decided on using Rhasspy in a server/satellite configuration to collect voice commands, and Home Assistant to manage turning things on and off. I changed to openHAB after trying and failing [ ]
先週末、４８６のＰＣを買いました。この頃、４８６プロセッサを搭載したコンピュータは希少です。たぶんのを見たことがありません。とても古いです。 古いコンピュターが大好きです。若すぎて４８６を使うことができませんでした、でも私の一番台ｘ８６のコンピュターはPentiumでした。けれども押し入れで父の２８６と３８６と４８６がありました。 いくつか眠れなかった夜はのを出しました。ぜんぜん分かりませんでした。ヒントが与えませんでした。１２歳に４８６を使うことが大変でした。けれども、いま大人です。もう一度やりたい。 見つけるには簡単じゃなかったです。私の町でいたるところを探しました、でもみんなとすべての店は古いコンピュターをレサイクルします。シアトルのリサイクルショップに行きました。 ところが、一台がありませんでした、でも２つのマザーボードとシーピーユーがありました！…
I recently received complaints from WordPress multisite users about not being able to embed iframes for Google calendars. Upon testing, I found nothing wrong embeds worked absolutely fine. My users kept insisting they disappeared, though, and could prove it with screenshots. Nothing was off about their browsers. Nothing strange was happening with plugins. They d just create [ ]
I receive frequent emails about my platinum cure silicone posts (part 1, part 2). People all around the world want clarification of my process, so I m happy to provide it. I ve been casting platinum cure silicone in SLA printed masters for over a year now for my keycap business, Cherry Festival, and have successfully done [ ]
My cat Lenora is constantly blocking my screen. I swear it s a game to her. She s exceptionally skilled at moving in front of whichever monitor I m trying to look at, even if I move windows to different monitors. To get around this I use a couple of very simple bash scripts I ve linked to keyboard [ ]
