I make videos about old computers. They aren't very good. The videos, that is. And the computers. It's all subpar.

@gmc @tomjennings I've had pretty good luck with one of those "Rullz 4k USB3" HDMI capture sticks in combination with my OSSC v1.6. I've had some issues with my OSSC when I switch between two video modes that are very close in resolution, but not the same. Like a high-resolution text mode and 800x600 graphics. For that, I find that switching input and back helps getting the OSSC resynced.

Finally, the 1995 season is starting! First out is an episode on how my ol' 386 is keeping up with 1995-era games, and a bit about what was going on in computing back then.

How long is it supposed to take to start your computer up? My 386 currently takes about 10 minutes to warm up the harddrive enough to POST. #retrocomputing

I wasn't going to do any stupid large projects this season, yet here we are... #Retrocomputing #Linux

It's that time again, time to pull the ol' 386 out to film one last season!

I know you've been begging me to get a better computer, but that'll have to wait for the '96 season 8]

Finally, after a number of visits to the library, I can conclude the main research phase and start filming the '94 season.

@foone To start out your dataset, 0.99.14 took 31 minutes and 55 seconds, 0.98 took 15 minutes and 20 seconds to make Image on the same hardware. Now you just gotta do the rest ;-)

These things always take more time that I think, and the last month or so has been a bit of a crunch.

But starting today at 8pm CET, the 1993 season of my video series begins. Three MS DOS-themed videos will be released, just barely in time for #DOScember .
