Vom 386SX mit 2 MB RAM und 90-Minuten-Mandelbrot bis zum i9 mit NVMe-Speed und eigenen KI-Agenten: 30 Jahre Technik im Zeitraffer. Dazu Grafikkarten-Knappheit durch KI, Stromverbrauch, CUDA-Power und die Frage: Reicht ein Raspberry Pi für smarte Aufgaben? Eine persönliche Reise zwischen Retro-Nerdtum und Zukunft.

Die Abschweifung 77 Wenn KI die Grafikkarten frisst

Weihnachten 1992.Ein 386SX mit 25 MHz, 2 MB RAM und einer 100-MB-Festplatte zieht bei mir ein – und verändert alles. In dieser Folge geht es um technologi

@cpu : Peut-être tu connais le drame des gens qui tentent de faire tourner dans #dosbox des logiciels en #gwbasic, lesquels logiciels qui REFUSENT de passer dans le siècle actuel ?

@rl_dane @golemwire ok, nerdsniping completed.

Create a file WEISS.BAS in your DOSBOX C: or whereever:

10 X%=INP(&h3DA):OUT &h3C0,&h10:OUT &h3C0,4:COLOR 16,15:CLS

Make sure the file ends with CR+LF (I think I don’t need to spell out how for you). In case of doubt, jupp for DOS should default to CRLF mode and pressing ^OZ toggles it (the status line will show you which one is then active) in both jupp for DOS and jupp for Unix. (The change only affects newlines created AFTER that, so if you do need to toggle it, backspace/delete that newline and hit Enter to create it anew.)

Then, run gwbasic weiss on DOS. Enjoy.

Yesterday I visited the computer games museum 🕹🎮👾 in Berlin. It was a flashback in so many ways; I really enjoyed it.✨️ The highlight was my very first computer, with which I learned my very first programming language, #gwbasic. The Schneider CPC with its quite exotic 3-inch floppy disk drive. 💾

Hands up, who knows GW-BASIC and maybe even used it?

Episódio 162 – BASIC.BAS – Parte B - Retrópolis

Bem-vindos ao podcast Retrópolis! Apresentado pela Municipalidade de Retrópolis. Esta é a Parte A do Episódio 162. Sobre o episódio Demorou mas finalmente saiu o dossiê BASIC em Retrópolis. Se o podcast acabar amanhã, de não falar sobre BASIC não poderemos ser acusados. Sobre esta parte Depois de terminar de falar de Microsoft BASIC, vamos

Retrópolis - A cidade dos clássicos

TracerBlender v1.1.0 released! This tool for Blender to create scenes for the MSX BASIC ray tracer now provides support to let tracer.bas render directly to a true color image file, with custom resolution. You can actually render 4K backgrounds in BASIC!

And instead of dying of old age while waiting for your MSX to complete this task, let your modern PC do the work, using GW-BASIC on bare metal or VM, for a massive speed boost!

If you want to try my #msdos system info nonsense program for #gwbasic, it's now publicly available:

It's not tested everywhere, so I'm sure it'll have some problems.

DR DOS detection in #gwbasic gwfetch needed some attention, but pretty happy with the results!
