This IBM Selectric II was only $20 at a thrift store, what was I supposed to do, abandon it?!

Anyway, it powers on but is hella noisy and doesn't quite work.

I figure I'll spend some time debugging, and if I fail it's a lovely paperweight until I save up the cash to bring it to my pals at Berkeley Typewriter. I've never owned an electric typewriter myself (all of mine are manual, intentionally) so this will be be a unique adventure. #typewriter #IBMSelectric

Important

more and more websites are showing up like this for me on my personal PC and i have been unable to figure out why :(((((((((

I want working mass transit.

absolutely losing my entire mind at this web site that decided to take their irritating distracting "chat with us" popups that no one ever asked for and make it *fucking bounce around like the fucking dvd logo* what the fuck is happening

* PS/2 pride (a joke flag by me, for retrocomputerists)
* voidpunk

VGAPride 0.6 is out, my program for displaying assorted pride flags on DOS computers with VGA-compatible video cards.
This update adds 6 more flags, bringing us up to a total of 61.

Happy weekend everyone ❤️✨

Ugh

Oh no

Mystery

While today it’s near-ubiquitous to have both, early CPUs often featured a ‘mul’ instruction while lacking a corresponding ‘div’

Meanwhile, as of 2023, HTML is the only major language to feature ‘div’ but no ‘mul’

I made a spline guide

uh were any of you people who signed up to #threads actually paying attention to the onboarding flow?
