GPO, GPO, we're in your system and you don't know
So the stock SIO for the PCW doesn't use an 8250, so the Internet FUCKING LIED (who knew), but rather some oddly specific Z80DART which is not pin compatible with the 16550. So 2400BPS it is, like the old days of dialup.

SFSG - flow control is janky which was anticipated and easily resolved

£50 on eBay, bargain - just need a donor UART that supercedes the 8250 - confident there's a 16550 in the house somewhere

Hello BlueSky, LTNS. Here's the archaeotech project for the next few months. I'll be soldering up a wifi modem at some point to make it a whizbang CP/M serial terminal, and loading up a bunch of disk images on a GoTek. PM if you want component pics.

@ticketmaster.com Another gig with insane ticket allocation and pricing (Black Sabbath, July 5th, Birmingham) with tickets starting at 450 quid then up to just under 3 grand.

What the fuck do you lot actually bring to the artist and gig attendee relationship? Parasites.

I'll tell you what, you never see signs saying "Cryptocurrency is king" in chippies, do you? Just one reason why it's shit for cunts. #NonceCoin

@ticketmaster.com You absolutely fucking suck and are the reason artists struggle on tour. You can't even mitigate bot activity on your platform and your entire MO deserves to be burnt to the ground along with all your holdings. Sincerely, go fuck yourselves down a cliff face you shower of cunts.

Can someone maybe enlighten me as to why Ticketmaster shouldn't be destroyed in a hail of ordnance?

Genuinely at a loss as to how they think they're adding value to the concert experience other than to cement their own capital.

Windows can immolate itself for all I care.
Two damn hours of updates and stalled restarts and fans going like the laptop is about to take off, and for what?

"Please try Copilot" MFer get in the sea with that bullshit, please

WTF is this taskbar dogshit?

Do people put up with this on the daily?

When not terrorizing vendors and operators, I also ride large motorbikes into the wilderness. First run of the year to date.

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social Mental health tip #26, sign out of work, stick on Star Wars and get tore into some crisps. Also don't forget to grab power converters.

New idea for a project - Musk Royale

The entire planet is given an array of weaponry from medieval to modern, and tasked with doing a Luigi on the odious apartheid Bond villain, pics or it didn't happen

Bonus points for MK style comedic finishes

Archimedes is parked for the moment - validated null modem cable is arriving Friday - so health checking the Commodore fleet - 500 and 1200 are good, now for the 1500/2000 - see if you can spot the oddities..

Today's challenge - determine if the RS232 driver chip install was actually a success (these units originally came sans UART drivers)
