While this cartoon is probably referencing a particular activist group in the UK, it tends to hold true for others, protesting different issues non violently around the world.

I love it!

I really miss the Windows Disk Defragmenter. It was so soothing.

So I made my own. And you can run this one as many times as you like; it’ll generate you a new (fake) file system to defragment every time.

Enjoy, folks.

Deshalb schenkt eins der Firma nicht mehr Leistung und arbeitet nicht in der Freizeit. Die Arbeitskraftnehmenden nehmen gerne eure Gesundheit, weil sie nichts wert ist. Verschenkt keine Lebenszeit und Energie. Wenn die Firma meint, mehr Leistung zu verlangen, braucht es mehr Personal. Punkt. Aus. Keine Diskussion.

It's 5 years since I released my first peripherals for the #RC2014 ecosystem, so have £5 off each of my first releases from June/July 2020!

🟢 SID Soundchip Interface
- Use the legendary Commodore 64 soundchip in your setup (or modern replacement SwinSID or ARMSID). Also incorporates 50/60/100Hz Interrupt Controller (useful too when using other soundchips for timing playback code.)

🟢 Graphic OLED Interface
- Add an easy to use 128x32 pixel graphic display to your setup.

All the info / order / see what else I've released: https://2014.samcoupe.com

Other RC2041 peripherals...

- *New for June 2025* SAA1099P Soundchip Interface.
- ZX True Tone (ZXTT), add-on module for Ed Brindley's YM/AY soundcard so it's clocked at the exact same frequency of the 128K ZX Spectrum so speccy tunes are pitch perfect.
- ZX-RC Bus Interface, to use RC2014 I/O peripherals with the #zxspectrum
- SAM-RC Bus Interface, as above but on the #SAMCoupe

Read Eevee's excellent essay, "The rise of Whatever" and I've rarely felt so vindicated, seen and thoroughly in agreement with someone else's bird's eye view of where the generative AI shit-show is going.

"But I think the core of what pisses me off is that selling this magic machine requires selling the idea that doing things is worthless. [...] I think that sucks [...]. Do things. Make things. And then put them on your website so I can see them."

The rise of Whatever

This was originally titled “I miss when computers were fun”. But in the course of writing it, I discovered that there is a reason computers became less fun, a dark thread woven through a number of events in recent history. Let me back up a bit.
