Just dropped a new video!
This @hackerboxes.bsky.social (#0117) is all about RFID: dual-frequency readers, writable tags, and an NFC dog tag you can program yourself.

It’s a great intro if you’ve ever been curious how contactless cards or badges really work.

Hot take: Tim Gunn was the best part of Project Runway. Inspired by him, on Saturday's noon eastern stream, we'll try to make these wrongly-spaced 30-pin SIMM sockets work to repair a SE/30 logic board... without the use of enameled wire.

These 30 pin SIMM sockets are too close. Can we make them work (without resorting to enamel wire)?

Listen to me!

On a mountain of skulls, in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood! What was will be! What is will be no more! Now is the season of evil!
I, Vigo, the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia, command you!

Find me a child that I might live again!

So I learned something cool last night.
For anyone who has watched that Zero Wing meme video All your base are belong to us (youtu.be/qItugh-fFgg?...) and wondered how the voice of CATS was done, wonder no longer!

The voice is from an old Windows app called TalkAny. Voice is "Big Robot"
