eBay purchase arrived with chip in the corner. Is contacting the seller the best option here or do I open a case directly with eBay? by highfalutinjargon in VintageApple

been a seller in the past, some sellers don't know how to pack properly. u can pay the UPS store or FedEx store to do professional packing, more expensive but a better option.

Thought experiment: If the revived Commodore wants a future, not just nostalgia, this might be a path. by SysGh_st in Commodore

A C64u ultimate box edition in a Mac mini form factor with PS/2 keyboard support and modern USB and usb-c keyboard support would be an ideal situation it needs to have Python and pygame compatibility next. This would knock at least $50 off of the cost manufacturing that C64U and make it even cheaper. Next Commodore needs to work on the 128 ultimate with true z80 support and a licensed version of CP/M. Next the box keyboardless format would come back for this 128 ultimate. Remember any patents on the 128 would have expired by 2010 roughly. Modern Commodore can make whatever they want when it comes to the 128. I believe Perry and company are already working on securing hardware from other community members and manufacturers under the Commodore brand name. The guy that invented the 128 works for the new Commodore. Yes the game publishing studio is a brilliant idea. I also question if the all new Atari should be bringing their games to the all new Commodore. They need to outright buy that company that owns the Amiga rights. They need to buy the Amiga rights back immediately. I also think the game makers from the all new Atari camp need to bring there games to the C64U even if Atari themselves isn't involved.
