A test camera for a rover due to reach the planet Mars will land on Aberystwyth’s seafront as Aberystwyth University’s popular BeachLab returns - also, meet Doris the Dalek and K9 from Doctor Who, and see self-driving off-road buggies, beach rovers and peek inside a full-size Tardis

Really enjoyed Laura’s talk earlier this week. Lots of complexity in the work to digitally transform work in the NHS, but it looks rewarding when the changes make a difference to staff and patients.

The earliest DOS source code was found on printer paper in Tim Paterson's garage so we've open sourced it on 86-DOS 1.00’s 45th anniversary! This is next-level software archaeology for preservation, and plain ol’ curiosity. #DOS #RetroComputing

Continuing the story of early DOS development | Microsoft Open Source Blog

In 2018 we (re)-open-sourced MS‑DOS 1.25 and 2.11, and more recently in 2024 we were able to make the source for MS‑DOS 4.0 available to the public as well. Today, on 86-DOS 1.00’s 45th anniversary, we’re continuing that tradition with the earliest DOS source code discovered to date.
