Have you not tried the new IDE? It has a plugin for Scrongle. It literally uses BingleGPT. It runs Pramble. It's got Dorkus support. You can open .Weemos with with it. It probably has a Looge addon. It's written in Glogus. It integrates with Kawle. You can send a VingleHub pull request with it.

I love setting unrealistic software performance standards and then actually trying to achieve them. Index every file on a 4TB hard drive on a 2005 linux amd laptop shitbox with the executable running off a floppy disk? Yeah, sounds doable let's go spend 2 weeks doing that (clueless)

so, i'm looking to find an HDD dump (i need the first 100 megs or so probably) for a snapserver 2200
at least that was i needed to get my snap 1000 working at some point, so i guess it's the same for the 2200
the image from a 1100 dosn't boot on the 2200 so idk, before i trash the board lol

Day 328 - #retrorandom - Here we have my Alice 32K demonstrating that although it looks identical to the Alice 4K (bar a gold, rather than silver badge), it's not a Tandy MC-10 in a red case but actually a much more powerful computer with pretty good graphics capabilities!

Learning 6502 programming is still a valid way to hone your low-level coding skills. The 6502 is perhaps one of the earliest RISC CPUs, so you could trace the path from it to the Arm CPUs in just about everything today.

Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be

in 2015 a decade old pc would be basically unusable but now in 2025 a decade old midrange pc is still ok for the average consumer, which is hurting profits, so there is currently a rush to manufacture interest in newer hardware by forcing new shit onto users, incase you were still wondering

The KIM-1 got its name from Keyboard Input Monitor. It was designed as a 6502 development system but became a cult computer in its own right. It was first released in 1976 for about $245.
