Tempest 3000 eh? I build Zarjaz Rotary controllers for that thing if you’re interested. ;)

Funny story actually...

How about an island, or any truly remote location on earth (or in space) that may lack broadband.

That’s good to see Vic writing for RS, like to see him busy.

I-odd FTW, Pro-tip it emulates thumb drives too.

What is the best way to help the project?

I’ve got an old Sprint Samsung Epic 4G slider (WiMAX, the old 4G), that would love to be a little mobile terminal...might be a little too dated though...

Anyway, this is a fantastic project and I’m eager to contribute!

How funny, I just started picking up some GURPS material because I wanted some RPG action that wasn’t all dungeon crawling hack n’ slash.

Between Cyberpunk, Illuminati, Atomic Horror, and a little Cthulhupunk, should be some good times; if I can get a campaign together...

Bookmarked.

Very cool, these are great modules and I will be happy to have them in my SCAD toolkit. Thank you!

I can’t believe that nobody has mentioned the Prusa FDM 3D printers are, and have always been designed in SCAD[0].

This alone has been instrumental in allowing community improvements, it’s the last “true” reprap, they run a farm of 300+ machines and iterate parts somewhat frequently.

Pretty amazing that there is one molded part on the entire machine, the spool holder.[2]

There was also some “archeology”[1] on the traditional CAD dead-ends from a specific extruder design that I found facintating.

Fantastic, thank you Bunnie & crew, well done.

Somewhat related for ‘old school’ Winamp fans, if anyone knows what ever happened to Brennan Underwood and monkey radio[0], I’m two decades later still trying to get a full copy of the playlist.

I ripped the stream for several nights onto minidisc for chill portable music in high school.

Agreed, I run MikroTik on the wired side and UniFi for the AP side; have many installs in my charge and this is our default deployment when “more WiFi” is requested.

Windows update used to have a screen that said: “All of your files are exactly where you left them.”

I never trusted it.

Luke is doing "good things" for the community by making Linux actually seem approachable and human; good work dude.

Keep it up!

Cool post, but an expensive SLA Printer is not required for this, neither is Fusion 360.

An OSS toolchain would be a reprap FDM Printer (like a Prusa), OpenSCAD for the design, so modules like the pogo cutout and the base structure can be easily and quickly reused in other projects, and then a Slicer program like Slic3r to turn the model into g-code.

Nothing against SLA: especially now that Prusa has the SL1 coming to market with good features at a sub-$1,500 price point, things are about to get very interesting.

Agree except for the 2x part, Dvorak has a deep, slow, gravelly delivery that does not lend well to artificial acceleration.

Also the audio production on the show is absolutely top notch for being done by one dude, the co-host, co-inventor of podcasting, and former MTV VJ, Adam Curry.

Plus the “morning zoo” bit is just a hilarious ruse; don’t let the “light tone” distract too much from the serious media deconstruction happening.

Twice weekly on Thursdays. ;)

That’s because KODI is really just a media player with a plug-in framework.

The plug-ins are NOT part of KODI’s core functionality.

Although it could be argued the native stuff are plugins too, they are built on the same framework but source your media from locally attached storage (USB, SD card, HDD) or network server/stream (RTSP, SMB, FTP).

Kodi is what used to be XBMC, once it was obvious a “10ft” interface was desirable beyond the needs of OG XBox hackers it was revised to run on PC (XBox is 99% a PC anyway).

Eventually nobody knew why it was called XBox Media Center when nobody really used it for the XBox. So they changed the name to KODI because it vaguely resembles REWIND STOP PLAY icons:

So that’s a little history, but I still mourn the loss of legacy screensavers like the excellent ‘matrix’ and the native ProjectM/Milkdrop support which hasn’t isn’t present in the Pi version or newer PC builds for years AFAIK.

Anyway, this is like banning Chrome because you can go to a porno website.

TIS-100 is also available on iOS, but unfortunately iPad only.

Gonbes GBS-8200/8220 CGA/EGA/YUV to VGA Arcade HD-Converter PCB allows all types of RGB, EGA, VGA or YUV component signals to be up-converter and display on a 31KHz PC VGA monitor, TFT monitor, LCD display, or HD-TV with VGA connection. No need to set dip switches in order to figure out the specific input frequency as all inputs are detected automatically! A great alternative to purchasing a expensive, heavy CGA monitor.
