A blast from the past.
"Charles Platt’s 1984 book Micromania (known in the USA as The Whole-Truth Home Computer Handbook) examined the current state of the art in home computers, mingling solidly factual and jargon-free explanation with sardonic exposure of industry hype and lampoons of hackers and other “creatures of the computer continuum”."

🎉 Wow, who knew the history of #microcomputers was just a parade of unpronounceable names and numbers? 😴 Let's not pretend anyone's life changed with a 20-pound "micro" computer, probably better at launching a spaceship than solving a math problem. 🚀 #Calculators everywhere are shaking in their pocket protectors. 📟

So, does anyone have any recommendations for an #Android #app that will record and play back #FLAC or #WAV #audio for use with old, #tape based #microcomputers such as the #ZX81 etc? I don't mean apps that serve a specific system (e.g. Speccy) but am looking for a #digital #replacement for #computer #audio #tapes.

BTW
there is no reason you shouldn’t have full access to your #computers. there is also no reason whatsoever you shouldn’t install software you’ve developed or is developed by sources you vetted and trust.this is a post about the (micro)computers in your pockets and purses that are marketed under the moniker of “smart phone”.
don’t matter if it’s an #iOS #iPhone or an #Android #Pixel: they’re #microcomputers.
we should have full access to and use of their hardware & operating systems.
