Negativity drives engagement, which in turn drives ad revenue and profit. Unfortunately, that ends up being all that matters to them, despite what they might say publicly.

Some serious kit there. I do need to get myself a larger mat like that.
My oscilloscope and other such gear is elsewhere in my workshop.

Thanks! This is next to my main work desk and it is good to do repair work and build my new designs here.

Lol! I have a lot of desk space in this workshop, and a 6 meter kitchen counter with cupboards underneath. My computer desk is curved to the right of the photo.

I figured it would likely be a big firmware change to make it the host. Wasn't sure whether the hardware would be configured for it. I suspect I'll be getting a few at some point anyway 🙂
I've been tempted to make a device to do it myself lots of times, but I'm time poor right now.

Sure, but have you seen how much PLA you need to print the damn thing?!

Well now I'm just imagining Kryten struggling to say it.

So far I've heard it is very good at one-shot getting things done. But not so much when multiple iterations are needed. I'm going to stick with Codex for now but will be keeping an eye on it.

Happens this side of the pond too. My contract is up next month on my current car. The dealership have been hounding me to get a new car from them at the worst times.
Funny, because when I need to call them, they are never available.

What the heck did I just read?!

Nice! Will there be a host / backup mode as well? I have a bunch of CHS drives I need to backup which USB adapters don’t support.

Oh, it is 100% needed for Amiga 600, 1200, 4000 and CD32. It just isn’t an automatic fix for all problems.

@retrobytes.bsky.social there is a sample of it a recorded here: youtu.be/ZVstab917TA

Not the intention of the video. But should give some idea

Mostly CD audio music (including some unexpected bonus tracks, and the music is awesome with a base speaker). Also, Colin talks now rather than making alien sounds.

Yep! 🙂

I spent all afternoon doing the Christmas decorations for my wife’s shop window. Including two Christmas trees.

I think we all strive for relationships where our partner looks at us the way Erika looks at JD…
