@permacomputer Hell yeah.
You wanna gimmie a rundown?
@ajroach42 the idea is to distribute code printed / copied onto paper.
paper archives longer than any other medium.
the code also has to be simple and easy to understand.
these machines will come with a BASIC interpreter, and will have 64KB of RAM -- they're gonna be based on the RP2040, and will be running the Arduino core.
lots of links are probably necessary at this point.
this is the BASIC:
What's setting you on fire?
@ajroach42 I discovered, even in my tiny apartment, I could build a compact, mobile, electronics lab with spare plywood and a few casters
It's pretty sweet, if I do say so myself
@cypnk Oh neat! What does that entail?
@ajroach42 https://awslabs.github.io/palace/stable/ THIS IS LIKE THE MOST ANARCHIST SHIT EVER AND IT'S LITERALLY AMAZON
@dirtwizard666 I don't think I know enough about engineering to understand what I'm looking at, but your enthusiasm is infectious.
@ajroach42 Usually the sun, But I got better.
What TV shows or Movies or Youtube channels or whatever have you been enjoying recently?
@ajroach42 Almost everything I watch lately is Twitch streaming, either
YerOlDad: old TV game shows (Match Game 75 lately)
MidnightSumo, QueenBee: Sumo content
Moohodles: Science comm, videogames
RobotSpacer: Mystery videogames
And some old X-Files, Rick & Morty, Galaxy Express or Captain Harlock for comfort watching. I'll put some Sentai on when I run out of those.
I haven't liked a lot of new shows since 2010-ish at most.
@mdhughes Which sentai show are you most likely to reach for these days?
I'm almost done with Gorenger and I have to decide if I'm going to pick up another sentai show or if I'm going to finish Supaidaman.
@ajroach42 I still have half of Android Kikaider to watch, then I might catch up all the Reiwa-era Super Sentai and/or Kamen shows. I've seen such a random mix of the middle series it's confusing when I grab any 70s-90s show.
@ajroach42 I typically like Kamen shows more, managing 5 heroes who have to get a speaking role each ep makes Super Sentai too formulaic. Kamens can just have 1-3 guys tag in & out, which is great if you like them.
Jiro in Kikaider is also one of the most likeable robot cool dude fighters in any show ever. (yeah, yeah, Mark likes cryptic Byronic heroes can't imagine why)

@ajroach42 just rewatching the 'animes made by a literal cult' series from Mother's Basement.
@ajroach42 The Expanse is atrocious. Carrie is actually pretty good even though I'm not the target demo. Most new stuff kind of sucks.
Have you seen a movie that didn't get a theatrical release recently?
or really any movie you wanna talk about that didn't involve Lance Oppenheim?
