Several months ago, I designed a FRAM board for the PCE Shuttle Backup Memory Unit, and a friend tested it.
I've been so busy, I just got a chance to update the GitHub repository with the board (sorry, no installation pictures).

If you're still using Twitter/X in any capacity get the fuck off now. Cut ties entirely. Any following you have is not worth it. For any reason.
Every piece of reporting I've seen on this is drastically understating the scale. These are from Grok's replies within a single minute. Time-to-reply is degrading because it has such a backlog of NCII/CSAM requests to fulfill. Conservatively I estimate it is producing more than 5000 of these per day

I made a t-shirt last night after I read that Satya Nadella post about how mean we're being by calling AI slop slop.

Happy New Year!
To go with the recent Hardware update, I have an update from the OpenXHD firmware dev team for you.
Thank you Clegg and everyone else on the dev team for your hard work!
I also spent the last week reorganizing some hardware for an easier to hand assemble layout for the new board.

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.
Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

Merry Christmas Xbox fans! It has been two very challenging years, but work continues on the OpenXHD project.
Hardware is complete, pending updates from the FW dev team. Speaking of which, there is a FW dev team!
Things are moving along quicky now and I will have more news for you soon!

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
