Strange how one of the most obscure singles from the 1980s can be a thing that just gets you.

A good friend of the community is making a modern interpretation of the #Quantel Paintbox UI and painting modes that were used on the Classic DPB and later V-Series machines from Quantel. Please take a look!

Repair time! My vintage Pioneer VSA-E07 amp from 1999 stopped working again. I replaced the main power amp caps a few years ago. But this time it wont come out of Stand-by.

The thing i take from this is all this cutting edge tech working... because it is literally NEW. How many Quantel Paintbox HD machines, or Sony HDD-1000 VTR machines are still working in 2025???

I think it is important to know WI and Girl Guides have not voluntarily moved into excluding trans girls and women they have been pushed into by bigot zealots and the law being an ass
I wonder how many cigars JK Rowling smokes as she mumbles “I love it when a plan comes together” as she giggles, picturing all the children she has made feel sad and more alone today

The Sun’s attempt at punching-down on trans people with a poll positioned slap-bang in the middle of a leading transphobic propaganda piece, has spectacularly backfired on them! 😆
