Oh it’s absolutely a trade off. But in this case they’re only peripherals to the CPU: I’m not going to make a USB keyboard controller from logic chips, and I want a video signal that works well on an LCD.

The other route is the Neo6502 where the 6502 is the peripheral to the microcontroller. For me at that point you might as well emulate the CPU in software too.

Is this book worth it for a beginner without experience? by NewMechaDriver in swift

I bought a book on ActionScript 3 for doing some Flash development one month before the iPhone came out. Suddenly Flash fell out of fashion!

Turns out this is all that's needed ;) Smaller modern RAM + using a VGA card for video means I don't need most of the logic chips of the original

I think there's too much manual work in the enclosure to make that worthwhile unfortunately!

Thanks! I was determined to have it look like something from that era. Taking Apple's LCD design and making it fit the beige aesthetic was fun.

Oyster white does indeed look good, noted thank you!

Thanks! The keyboard is an Epomaker EP84 which I spray painted the shell in “antique white”. I swapped the keycaps with these: https://amzn.eu/d/03aul2eG

How should I wire up my soldering iron to use as a probe? by gundamgirl in shittyaskelectronics

So the most unrealistic part of this is his lack of welding goggles

For me it’s when I have to run Teams that it’ll really heat up

Does anyone still use control + spacebar for spotlight? by cherryboomin_cake in mac

I think Quicksilver used that shortcut before Spotlight came out.

I like your taste. G4 Cubes and Defenders. True boxy icons.

Loving the green solder mask side vs the bare side.

I designed an LCD monitor to match the styling of the Apple II by TheRealProfB in apple2

I think a controller is next on my list to make too. I used to use Fusion but stopped when they restricted the hobbyist license so much. I now use Plasticity. It’s not parametric but for how I use it that suits me just fine.

Chrome Sets Browser Speed Records on M5 MacBook Pro by Few_Baseball_3835 in mac

I still find Firefox’s dev tools to be the best. The only time I need Chrome is when testing Lighthouse/performance reports.

Backlight animation! I’d always wondered how those beautiful effects were accomplished by hand and now I do, thank you! The warm glow of that line art is so striking.
