Jan BetaMIRACLE AMIGA! After a lot of patching and tracing and bodging, IT‘S ALIVE. I honestly didn’t believe this would be back in working order on the first try. Jan is happy. Video coming soon. #Amiga1200 #Repair #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

I‘m giving the new social networks a try (don’t expect much activity from me there, I’m very happy here on Mastodon):
Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/janbeta.bsky.social
Threads: https://www.threads.net/@thejanbeta
At this point, the Fediverse seems to be the most reasonable existing solution for the future social web in my opinion. I’m too interested to not take a look at the alternatives though. Decentralization plus interoperability are the way forward long term, hopefully. We‘ll see how it goes. One can always hope.
I’m Tired And Everything HurtsWhy can't you get aesthetically pleasing PC cases any more? They either look like Batman's Underpants or a set of fucking traffic lights
Looks like I’m going to build yet another new keyboard for an elderly computer (this time, it’s the #DecentXE mechanical keyboard replacement for the #Atari XE series). This is going to take a couple of hours, I guess! Fun! #InTheLabDoingStuff #VintageComputing #RetroComputing #AtariXE
Hey, that was fun (even if I was super tired and the stream was quite short)! Thanks to everybody who watched and chatted! 🫶 There’s going to be more frequent streams again in the near future. I have a secondary YouTube channel where I archive past streams, in case you feel like rewatching past events. There’s some playlists with games I finished, too.

This is my second YouTube channel, primarily for archiving my Twitch retrogaming streams. On my main channel, I restore and repair retro computers and consoles. https://youtube.com/janbeta The funky TAC-2 joystick icon was made by Magnus Snickars. https://www.instagram.com/magnussnickars/ Thank you!

Streaming some "To Be On Top" from my #Commodore64 in about half an hour. First stream in a long while so there MAY be some technical issues (very likely). Catch me on Twitch: https://twitch.tv/thejanbeta #RetroGaming #RetroStreaming
