Lots of wonderful talks at @kawaiicon.bsky.social - everything from Enigma machines right up to AI LLM MCP vulns. Very glad that NZ's premiere security con is back after a few years break!

I just spent far too much money on this thing. The Intel Inboard was a way to upgrade your PC or XT to have a 386 CPU. It gave you the opportunity to run 32-bit software despite having an 8-bit bus. I want to run extended memory apps, this is /apparently/ the only way!
