Here for 8-bit retro banter! 💾
As a student working on a project, I got confused by this 4 clock cycle instruction on a PIC16. I'm pretty sure I over clocked it 4 times inadvertently! 🙄... and it still worked.

Great cover picture! 🙂 gives me vibes of this masterpiece... in my mind the ropey graphics were really dragons, bat and so on 😂. Needs a C64 port!!

Interesting to see Steve Vickers lecturing. I confess I was struggling at the title page and went down hill rapidly from there!

One of my work colleagues says he only ever uses AI now and search engines are dead. He must be doing something im not because the slop that comes out of AI is awful. Plausibly awful.

My dad had an Amstrad PCW back in the day. Amazing that it came with CP/M, Basic and Logo out of the box 😮 Even the word processor software, its main use, was outstanding quality!
Only Pipedream on the Z88 came close to matching it.

How clueless can you be to park a special edition £183,000 Range Rover on your drive that can be stolen with almost no effort whatsoever!
