It's weirdly hard to find good info on how their cord-antenna setup worked, but this wiring diagram makes it pretty clear that it is attached to the power cord, but via a capacitor. You are safe to leave that lug detached, but can always tape it if you don't trust that capacitor.

Here's my favorite reindeer lichen and a couple others from my lunch walk today!

I took a picture of my newly rearranged desk of vintage computers and shared it on my BBS so I could view it on my vintage computers.

Sometimes light mode is allowed

I won't be happy until everything I do for fun on the computer can be in glowing amber. I'm glad you took this one on, Cara. Now I can focus on my other telnet projects

I think you might be at capacity right now; this is as far as I get

Caught you

Had some fun with hardware today.

Reading New Session in July was a direct inspiration for starting my BBS project and recent hyperfixation on developing software with older devices in mind. I can't stop myself!

Funny timing, I just replied to someone else with this. Loved my visor.

I tried to skeet from my PDA but had to settle for posting on a BBS

Happy Zero Cool day!

This is by far the coolest thing I found in the pile of stuff my parents brought down a few weeks ago. My brother and I wrote notes in here for our first plays through the first three games.

Who wants to join my homemade BBS? We talk about old (mostly apple) hardware there, but not very much yet because most of my other friends with old hardware are too busy. So I guess, in reality, we (mostly I) talk about the BBS on the BBS.

No way, we've been waiting for so long!

I'm looking forward to adding it to my collection

They really should have committed to modding all of the characters. Look at this crew
July 15, 2023 at 10:41 PM
You asked for it.

This particular horny mod was more modest than I'd expected. Her nipple only even shows when she serves. I checked all of the other characters and none of them were altered. In contrast, the next opponent, Biff, is just fully shirtless the whole time.

Never, in one billion years, would this have been a game I'd guess someone would make a nude hack for.

It is a good day. This lucky find of an Macintosh SE/30 is running beautifully.
July 13, 2023 at 1:37 AM
honestly, this is the best experience I've had in years on the site. Not a single bit of hate on my timeline!

Morning, Bluesky!

Today is my last day of work before a much needed week off. I'm happy to report that the chicks are settling in well in the new coop, and even (with enough time and a little nudge to clear a traffic jam at the door) made their way into the henhouse on their own last night. Hooray!

gif support when, Bluesky? I miss HACKERSBOT

Cartoons tell me they definitely can.
