@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk I turn off or hibernate my current Windows laptop manually. If I just close the lid, Windows wakes up later and drains the battery. Haven't gotten to the bottom of it after a lot of trying.
Now, my old faithful ThinkPad running Linux Mint - I close the lid and it suspends like it should.
Logwatch!
My first SIDKick Pico assembled and fitted into one of my Commodore 64Cs. Sounding fine, and supports joysticks too! A great project.
My intention to test out the Commodore C2N tape unit I've had in a cupboard for several years is thwarted by a lack of blank (or sacrificial commercial) cassette tapes!
Retro-ing is hard a times! #8bit #commodore
Where's the best value place to buy 80 column listing paper in the UK?
Suggestions for online or regional stores plz.
Ta!
A new arrival.
I used to have a Commodore MPS801 printer back in the day, but I sold it with all my other kit 😢.
Does anyone know if there's any Rifas in there to save a definite rummage inside?
Now to find some 80-col listing paper!
I suddenly stopped being able to get to Bluesky from any device on my home network.
I had to whitelist inkcap.us-east.host.bsky.network in my OpenDNS account to stop it being blocked for 'Advertisments'
Much as I have appreciated being on Oldbytes.space, it does seem to have become a bit flaky recently, so I have reactivated @linker3000@mastodon.social and I'll be posting over there unless/until things get better over here. I'll try moving users etc. so you won't miss a word of my vital mumblings.
Interesting course with a strong theme!
