Still not entirely sure if I'll be sticking around here long term , but I guess you can follow me here until the latest hotness emerges.

Does anyone know anything about the Plessey Vutel? I don't have much to go on, other than its a Viewdata / Prestel terminal from ~1982.

Judging by the lack of info or examples, and an advert selling them off cheap a few years after release I'm guessing they weren't too popular.

The new after school club requires a password to collect your child and I can't decide between "5tt#C3%XS8ZwcE$A" or "Blue Horseshoe Loves Anacott Steel"
This is Viewdata

BT Archives have added a lot more video content since the last time I checked, including this 1979 “radio rentals” film about #prestel

It’s 22mins long, and worth a look if you haven’t already seen it!

Last one for now, especially for @marrold

Merry Prestel Christmas from 1984!

Still getting my head around ALSA audio and googled something, found some fine chap asking the same question. Alas it was me, 5 years ago. And I never did get a decent answer 😂

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Except me. Faffing around with ALSA, questioning my life choices.

Businesses that don't advertise their Christmas opening hours can get in the sea.

The Pixel 7 Pro requires a USB C plug to charge. The Watch's magnetic charger requires a USB C *socket*.

Y tho? 🙃
