  1. Yep, it’s been half an hour and no dropouts… I’m calling it, my lovely new BBC Micro B is fixed :)

    Yay! Soooo excited to play with it tomorrow 🥳

    Here’s a before video:

    And an after:
    vimeo.com/1182284426

    And the issue, for anyone else who stumbles on this thread, was the 16MHz oscillator circuit (marked X1 on the main board).

    Also, I could only find a lot of 50 of them, so if anyone needs one, just hit me up and I’ll send it to you :)

    Huge thanks to the folks on the stardot.org.uk for sharing the fix: stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopi

  5. The Story of Heaven and Hell (The Making of a ballet).

    The ballet is itself an apogee of the art but a reflection on British society, selfish and desperate that is driving many to become outcasts without safety net and completely ignored by the political mainstream that is shaping society.

  6. So, I've been playing around with a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition for a bit.

    Overall, I feel almost right at home with the X1 Carbon.

    I wished I could highlight all the good things, about it, but frankly, it's mostly neck-in-neck with the 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro.

    That said, I may as well list out things that either laptops have missing.

    What X1 Carbon doesn't have.

    - Long battery life
    - HDR display
    - Smudge-resistant exterior
    - Ability to dev for the Apple ecosystem
    - Good speakers

    Things that the MacBook doesn't have:

    - Touch screen
    - Screen real estate at the top (it's been replaced by a notch)
    - Insanely lightweight (X1 Carbon is less than a kilogram in weight)
    - screen folds out 180 degrees
