TLDR; I sport, code, make stuff, and play adventure games.

Popular Windows FOSS app can't get signed, because it's not corporate.

<- reminder: all this BS about "secure boot" & code-signing is against users' interests. It's for suits' arse-covering.
Do not trust the suits.
It's 5 years since I released my first peripherals for the #RC2014 ecosystem, so have Β£5 off each of my first releases from June/July 2020!
π’ 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.)
π’ 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 RC2014 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

@skeletor Try not to take it too far though. It has its costs when you get older. At least hit the gym or something once in a while.
And put the remote down and pick up a book. Not much more relaxing than reading a book on integral psychology or C++ metaprogramming. Or a coming of age novel masquerading as an epic space war.
And mute the haters ;)
Reversing those two statements would work better π
