An Icelander asked if I had Twitter. I said I have Mastodon. Their response was, “Mastodon? What the hell?” So… it sounds like we need to do more Iceland-promos on here. So here are some pretty Iceland shots I took recently
honestly surprised by radxa orion o6/cix p1. never heard of cix before. the amount of power phases on the board suggests that it's power hungry though

Most of the ordered MNT Pocket Reform RCORE RK3588 upgrades are being packed and will go out beginning of next week.

A lot of MNT Reform RCORE RK3588 modules will also go out next week—these are only waiting for one replacement hex spacer that had been wrongly stocked at WE/Mouser.

Excited to boost a bunch of your (Pocket) Reforms to the next performance level :3

Since I only have about 40 followers, I would appreciate as many boosts as possible as it is hurricane related. The Iphone 14 and above has the capability to send messages via satellite. You have to install IOS18 then swipe down from top right to get the utilities screen. You can then do a demo by touching the satellite icon. Evidently it only works if you do not have cell data or wifi available.

It's so complicated trying to explain Apple II pixel art limitations to people that I sat down and made a webpage about it. Linking it here in case anyone is interested:

Found this amazing very early example of using sound to do debugging.

production of MNT RCORE RK3588 modules (adapters) has finally started at PCBway (first batch of 100 units). everything else is already in stock here. i hope we'll be able to ship all the orders in 4 weeks. thank you again for your patience!

UPDATE!

I have a solid lead … thanks for all the help!

Hey, Mastodon … I’m trying to track down an #AppleNewton developer named Stephen D. Cronin.

He worked at #AMD and operated a software company called TapTech based out of Austin, Texas in the late 90s. I’ve managed to contact his former software partner, Francis Preve … but Francis lost touch with Stephen years ago.

Together they released a sequencer program for #NewtonOS called NR404 and I’m hoping the source code still exists somewhere.
