New video: Black Amiga 500

Many a computer from the 1980s is today yellowed and brittle. The plastics age considerably over the decades. You can do some mitigation by retrobrighting with hydrogen peroxide. However for some machines you can even get replacement cases, and in some cases even brand new key caps for the keyboard. Today we will transform a beige Commodore A500 into a black beauty!

Sixteen years ago tomorrow I published the first post on the fediverse.

https://web.archive.org/web/20080618164355/http://identi.ca/notice/1

It's still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that.

Thanks to everyone who made identi.ca a great place to be, and thanks to everyone who's expanded the fediverse since then.

Over the last weeks i have built my own variant of the PetSD+ board, optimized as an cost- and feature reduced, external, case mounted, headless unit, connected with a true IEE488 connector, not unlikely the CBM D9060 and D9090 hard drives.
Thus it was aptly named the CBM D9069 :)

Find the PCB project on my github:

and the printable parts on my printables:

And I realized #Grafx2 does have a color cycling feature just like in #DeluxePaint, but Grafx2 does not support separate color cycling ranges.

In fact, it only has one color cycling range compared to, say, DPaint III's six separate ranges.

(Deluxe Paint IV has an impressive eight individual color cycling ranges!)

For Americans looking at people posting in Celsius temperatures: don't try to convert, just remember this...

Zero is freezing,
Ten is not.
Twenty is warm and
Thirty is hot
(And forty is DAMNED hot)

It is not the amount of transistors, but rather what you do with them that counts ... C64 it on a real CRT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcUmVdd_t2s

The Sinclair QL also works with the RetroTink 4K, via RGB SCART. Not really surprising but not sure anyone has tested this yet, so here it is.

Sufficiently Advanced Bodging™ is indistinguishable from having used the correct pinout.

Interesting fault: After playing around with my childhood C64 breadbin from 1983, the screen suddenly lost all contrast and went very dark. #retrocomputing #commodore #c64 1/3

The words “content creators” really depress me. What a soulless, corporate expression. It reduces what you make to “content” to be consumed. It reduces what you do to a business practice. It invisibilises all the specificity of your work.

You are making video? You are not a “content creator”, you are a videographer.
You are writing essays? You are not a “content creator”, you are an essayist.
You are investigating and compiling information? You are not a “content creator”, you are a journalist.

New video! In the second part of the series, I'm trying to resurrect the Apple Macintosh Performa 630 Power Supply I found to have lots of leaky capacitors in the previous episode.
