I mostly lurk but I also created this site and moderate it!
The retro machines I am mostly interested in are BBC Micro, Sharp MZ80K, KIM-1, Research Machines 380Z and 480Z.

  And we thank you for being a benevolent overlord. Best part of my day is reading 2sb

    Same. It is nice here

  Doesn't the Analytical Engine work count as retrocomputing?
  - ddingus 68 days ago
    Probably by now, but it is such a rare beast.
    Is there one running somewhere maybe? Super interesting hardware for sure.

  Thanks! You appear to be doing great and I really appreciate your work.
  Should you ever need help, I am open to that, though I can't think of a thing right now and that probably means you got this.
  Thanks again. Much appreciated!

We can modify the code. I'll do that do that http:// and https:// are treated the same.

  I really had no business posting the http version. I should be better, I get excited to share articles I read with my fellow stop bits.
  Would it be too much of an ask to style http articles differently so we know what’s safe(r) to click ?
  - jgrahamc 266 days ago
    I guess we could do that.

And AT codes are alive and well inside your phone today. It's likely the software is talking to the baseband using them.

It takes over the bus inside the Vectrex and forces a HALT on its processor. That way the Pi can completely control the Vectrex.

  So its a demonic posession. Interesting.

Nooooo! Somebody save me! I've been tempted over and over again to buy a Vectrex because they are so great and now this. However will I ever resist the temptation? :-)
- bmonkey325 288 days ago
  I just bought an OG Tempest like DavePl has. I’m at my lifetime vector machine limit. I don’t see Vextrex come up for sale in Canada very often. Are they common in your area ?
  - nickt 288 days ago
    That's a neat solution. I spent enough on Tempest as a kid I should've probably just done what you have years ago. Then just a sit-down Star Wars, Asteroids, obviously Battlezone and then my other massive consumer of 10p pieces - Lunar Lander.
    I wonder what a vector future would have looked like if raster hadn't won?
