I upgraded my "unsupported" Surface Go 1 to Windows 11 using Rufus and it somehow runs more reliably than Windows 10. System requirements make no sense sometimes.

I already ordered the Type Cover keyboard to use this as a travel laptop.

Meet the new crown jewel of my #VHS collection, the original 1982 rental release of Star Wars. This was the first time the full movie could be watched at home outside of TV airing. It uses the original 1977 stereo mix. There are also no promos or extra logos. Just the movie and an FBI warning.

I currently own two working iPods: A 3rd gen Classic, and a 1st gen Touch, both with new batteries.

I'd love to get a 1st or 2nd gen Classic just to have one with the original design, but they're quite pricey. So, that'll have to wait.

I'm open to suggestions on what iPod I should get next.

Whoops, forgot to upload images of the iPod Classic 3rd gen working. The firewire charger came in a while back. Once I plugged it in, the iPod sprung to life! Then again, I did buy it refurbished. I would have been concerned if it didn't work.

Picked up a Dell Dimension 2400 desktop for $10. I'm in the process of setting it up. I just need a mouse to match the keyboard and a mousepad, then I'm all set.

This is easily the best $10 I've ever spent. Why can't vintage PCs always be this cheap?

I finally got a working iPod Classic. This is the 3rd gen which is definitely the most unique one. I can't fully use it yet because the Firewire charger hasn't arrived yet, but it's nice to have one of these fully functional.

Game Boys are cool.
Here are the ones I own so far, all in full working order.

I also ordered a Minuet/1.0 copy of Tetris.

Just saw the recent Twitter change about blocked users. How is the platform not dead yet?

I'll be using Bluesky more frequently. Thanks, Elon!
