Hah, used to work at Maplin in Glasgow during that red and blue era 20 years ago. I saw the thumbnail, and my brain immediately said "VD76". Useful information to retain for 2 decades! Used to get those returned lots when people wanted straight-through cables, and picked up the wrong one.
This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.
As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.
I knew it!

How did you discover this? Do you always check your food under a black light, or did you decide to have a chilli as a mid-rave snack? Those are the only two options, I have decided! 😂
Completely unexpected and very cool indeed. Been a huge fan of Sam's work for years now.

As it should be!
Oh those dysan disk boxes take me back! I used to love looking through those to see what games my Dad had brought home from work. Legit copies, of course!
Had he taken inspiration from "the wet bandits" in Home Alone?
I watched Hackers for the first time last week, and oh my god, I didn't realise how terrible it would be. It made 'The Net' look like a computing documentary by comparison!
Some things shouldn't be remade, just in case we accidentally make them even worse! 😂
Seeing a new video from you is excellent news at the end of a long week!
Abstract Al assistance produces significant productivity gains across professional domains, particularly for novice workers. Yet how this assistance affects the development of skills required to effectively supervise AI remains unclear. Novice workers who rely heavily on AI to complete unfamiliar tasks may compromise their own skill acquisition in the process. We conduct randomized experiments to study how developers gained mastery of a new asynchronous programming library with and without the assistance of Al. We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average. Participants who fully delegated coding tasks showed some productivity improvements, but at the cost of learning the library. We identify six distinct AI interaction patterns, three of which involve cognitive engagement and preserve learning outcomes even when participants receive AI assistance. Our findings suggest that Al-enhanced productivity is not a shortcut to competence and AI assistance should be carefully adopted into workflows to preserve skill formation - particularly in safety-critical domains.

Will this act as a PTPv2 server as well by any chance?
Did it have a good soundtrack as well?
This reminds me of a game that I saw lots of adverts for in magazines, but never got to play. I was excited when I got a demo disk for "Joe and Mac" on the cover of PC Zone (I think) but the disk was faulty and wouldn't read. Some day I'll play it!
Headline: "Scientists discover emperor penguin colony in Antarctica using satellite images"
Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Where is this? Looks fun to explore!
Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man! 🎳
That sounds more like a Terminator than a toddler - I'd be careful!
Is that compatible with a Vesa mount? Looks like it might be designed to screw straight onto the back of a monitor, or between a monitor and a Vesa mount stand/arm.
Ah, it looks good. I thought it was an official model!
I've never seen a vintage Mac in a silver case before - always beige. What model is that one? 🤔
We used to play some kind of shipping game or simulation on the beeb, that would play speech with weather warnings. It didn't do it often, so we'd all be really excited when we heard the computer talk! No idea what that game was called though
*CoPower board, sorry
Nice! Used to play the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy on one of these. Does yours have the 8086 'copilot' board to let you run MS-DOS?
