Yesterday @TheMediumIsPizza's and my essay on #ToyComputing with #Minecraft has been published on @Paidia:
Out now: the new issue of "#Technikgeschichte" (No 02/2023) with the central topic "Maintaining, Patchting, Re-arranging" that holds the chapter "Retro Fitting History: Repairing Computers as Epistemic Praxis" written by Thomas (@TheMediumIsPizza) and me: https://bit.ly/3Ovimat

I own a #MagnavoxOdyssey since 2013. From time to time I got it from the shelf to show the ping-pong game as a predecessor to #Pong. It was only yesterday when Torsten (@toroe) and I unpacked some of the other games and played them. Especially the #HauntedHouse #game was quite a fun!
Sadly the Video-Mod we did in 2014 is broken and the HF TV signal is quite bad. So it's time for the Odyssey to visit Thomas (@TheMediumIsPizza) ...
Thomas (@TheMediumIsPizza) sent me back my "Model 1" (with a self-made PSU) and my "Model 200"! The Model 1 is equipped with a #FreHD SD-card drive. Ready to test some #BASIC programs from the internet.
A defective „Bit-90“ computer arrived at @TheMediumIsPizza to be repaired and equipped with a PSU. Afterwards it will be added to the collection of platforms for my #BASIC research project. Looking forward to lay my hands on the BASIC key. 🤓
