I'm desperately seeking information about this chip.

It is a custom #Psion RS232 IC used in the Series 3c, codenamed CONDOR.

If you were involved in the development of the 3c or knew someone who worked for Psion around 1994-1997 who might have been involved, please let me know.

We want to emulate this chip in #MAME so that it can be added to the existing Psion SIBO hardware #emulation.

The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.

Others have said this, but the Internet Archive's appeals-court loss to Big Publishing is a disaster for everyone but the cartel of companies and a tiny number of A list authors.

The publishers will tolerate libraries only as long as they can control everything about how books can be loaned. If public libraries were being invented today, the cartel would make their core functions illegal.

The Pico2 RP2350 input bug I mention in the latest episode of @thebootloader is not theoretical, but impacting commercial products like the Bus Pirate (see mastodon.social/@buspirate/113) and all my captouch-based MIDI controllers & synths in my Tindie store. I don’t recommend Pico2 for newbies either: even their official tutorial code will not work on a Pico2 projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pr

Our brain just crafted the phrase "I got pushed out of my comfort zone until I no longer had a comfort zone" and suddenly about 20 years of C-PTSD trauma made sense.

bit funny when an embedded programming ide requires opengl/vulkan

@elithebearded So while film has traditionally been fed from reel to reel, each frame moving vertically between openings of a shutter, you propose that we think of modern video more as a long rectangular sausage that is pushed forth and extruded from a hole?

I *think* I'm in?

i feel embarrassed to say that the board and the boilerplate software that has all the hardware enumerated (but doesn't really do much yet) took me the entire day. i used to be able to focus more

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!
