Ended up getting a couple commissions again this month, one of them being another perma-suit thing...
@Jencen In my experience FlashFloppy made the experience much easier, though it is even more improved with an OLED display showing the disk details.
@Jencen Gonna flash it with FlashFloppy?
@dalias @dragonarchitect Also on top of that making error messages indistinguishable from update/information messages is not good for user comprehension. In my experience it's very common for informational messages to be received by end users as errors and vice versa.
Error/progress UX is perhaps the biggest regression in computer UX over the past few decades.
Then: exactly what's happening, detailed description of what went wrong sufficient to diagnose and fix the problem.
Now: fake percentage bar that moves asymptotically towards 100% while nothing happens, then "Something Went Wrong™"
For the Trek fans amongst my friends - Master Replicas and Bodum have got together to re-release the Bistro cup - the one that Picard used to drink his Earl Grey from in the TNG era. There's a limited pre-order here: https://www.masterreplicas.com/products/the-picard-tea-cup-set
I got a draft and I can't stop looking at it; all the proportions are spot on and it's making me feel so good!!!!

You had to watch your step at #EF28—these lil' guys were out and about looking for treasure!
Seeing folks get photos with the oversized props I built was one of my absolute highlights, this con!

Workshop afternoon, sorting yest Old Tat Consignment
1st up, Panasonic AG-7750 S-VHS Pro Deck
It’s a beast. VU Meters, XLR Audio, S-Video, best of all TBC. Perfect Freeze Frame too
Back in the day, I spent ages making comps from MTV, BSB Power Station & MCM EuroMusic. Soak Testing. Some cracking tunes.
Deck has a few issue, will get cracking
@chloeraccoon Had to look it up but apparently m.2 can do up to PCIE x4 and USB3.0 as well as SATA3.0. I guess it's connected as a module so they can just change the tuner to whatever standard is used in the country it's sold in?
