wark

so two things
- i forgot i'll need another RCA plug for audio as well so i'm likely not using the cable that's already on it since i need two
- i said circa 1983 because that's the year my dad recalled buying this, but looks like from chip date codes this is from around 1988(?!)

the less realistic text to speech synthesis is the better. thank you for coming to my DEC talk

anyway i need dick, from a girl

ok i finally made a circle so i can be more vulgar outside my locked account without feeling super self conscious about it

if you don't want to be here hit me with a rubber mallet

thanks to http://datassette.org i found a schematic that might not be the exact Dactar model i have but close enough to follow where the PAL-M-responsible components are that need to be bypassed

and it's just neat to look at vintage electronics schematics

rather fittingly at age not-a-lot i already patched the end of this RF cable with a yellow RCA cable to fix it, since an RCA plug fits in the switchbox that came with it. since i doubt i'll ever use RF again, i might as well honour my past self reusing this cable for composite

as per usual, it's our old cheeky little friends at UMC https://mobile.twitter.com/maplesbian/status/1384933252826292225

notice the lower right of the board.. that's an entire discrete RF modulator, completely unshielded

goal: transcode from PAL-M to NTSC (crystal swap) and add simple composite out amp

just let me know what you would throw money at me for me to do and i can figure out a way to do it. i'm no good at content creation with regularity but if there's some sort of engagement that'll incentive people donating to me i'll figure things out

would people subscribe to my patreon for $5/mo if it meant discord perks with a regular Q&A call with me i.e. if you have tech questions or something

i still haven't found a job and i'm not even making enough on patreon to cover my months meds expenses

tech recruiters love to ignore your cv because you know javascript instead of knowing only reactjs

did everybody just forget when naomi sexycyborg went on a spree blocking a bunch of trans people for calling her out on misgendering someone 🫠

oh my god are we gonna win on a walk

what the HELL is this game

what is it about kirk that pitchers almost always walk him

more baseball for the baseball gods #NextLevel #extrainning

how come a bat shattering isn't a baseball highlight. is it really that common. happened today with kirk and literally nobody talked about it. personally i think it should be more of a thing
