Somehow I'm pretty sure Google already had that information. You've never used Google Wallet to pay on the go? No? How about your Android keyboard to fill in some banking form?

"Dirty deeds, dunder chiefs!"

I always wondered what a dunder chief is.

You're home alone, sitting down and relaxing with your favorite consumable item, be it drink, drugs, food, what have you. What are you having, and what do you put on the stereo to accompany your eveni in c/[email protected]

Nice choice.

I sometimes listen to KEXP, I discovered it along with a lot of other interesting radios using the Garden Radio app.

My favorite is a NZ radio called Brian FM.

I stopped playing because it is a bit too hard for me. I keep getting killed by spiders. Maybe I'll give it another go.

The company behind Candy Crush is preparing to lay off around 200 employees amid a push to replace designers, researchers, and creative staff with AI. in c/[email protected]

I'm not really in a position to correct anyone, as English is not my native language.

I'm sure you're right, there's not enough CPU power to transcode on that old CPU, but I'd say it's enough to stream some data. Hell, I've done it using an old Core2Duo Sony Vaio laptop...

I wrote media player but I meant media server. It could run Jellyfin and serve media to other devices on the network.

People who can't stand being corrected. Instead of learning and improving, they feel diminished and hateful.

Please, FOSS world, we need something like ChromeOS in c/[email protected]

ZX Spectrum Next: C64 and QL cores in KS#3 (www.specnext.com)
 

publicação cruzada de: https://lemmy.world/post/30697466

In a project update mail to previous Kickstarter backers, Henrique Olifiers set the date for the third (and likely final) Kickstarter campaign for the ZX Spectrum Next project as July 19th, 2025.

The ZX Spectrum Next issue 3 will have two new cores: a complete Sinclair QL core with support for the SD card, WiFi, joysticks, expansion port, Real Time Clock, 65K colours and dual 68000/68020 CPU running at 44MHz, and a Commodore 64 core with HDMI (with sound) and VGA output, joysticks, cartridge and D64 disk images and tape loading via the audio port.

The announcement has yet to hit the official site, so stay tuned if you missed the previous KS.

What software you consider so bad it made you happy when you left your job? (lemmy.world)
 

I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

My Roomba is called Ramiro, after my slightly alcoholic uncle.

ZX Speccy Next running Lords of Midnight (lemmy.world)
 

The Next version of this game is simply stunning, even on my crappy little Blaupunkt TV. Recreated by Matt Davies and Simon Butler from the original Mike Singleton release, it shows just what a brilliant games machine the Next can be.

Yep, good old NVG is still up. (lemmy.world)
 

If you remember the Speccy scene in the 90's, you must have no doubt downloaded some games from the old ftp.nvg.ntnu.no FTP server.

After World of Spectrum came along, I had mostly forgotten about it. This week I remembered and took a peek... and what a nice surprise, the old geezer is still there, complete with a README file from 1995/03/11 signed by Arnt Gulbrandsen.

Have a look, there are even some messages from the comp.sys.sinclair USENET newsgroup.

Good times.
