The answers to all your Commodore 64 questions will be revealed!* npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Somehow I feel that @nprofile…fta3 was involved. npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Oh, me? I'm just here enjoying my BIG BOX copy of the Double Fine classic Costume Quest - but you can pick up the digital versions for 80% off right now on Steam! npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 It is 1982. I am six years old. Tron bombs at the box office. npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 @nprofile…mjxp Solder tweezers always felt like a scam from "big iron" to get you to buy two soldering irons. npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 You know what? It's good advice. npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Hey, #Macintosh, #AppleII, #Atari and #NeXT folks... need any DB-19s? npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Gang, WE DID IT! I just signed the lease on the new corporate headquarters of ePalmWangRicot! This would never have been possible without your continued lack of scrutiny - your lack of questions has been a real inspiration! npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Happy Wednesday from your favorite vintage computer CEO! My latest aquation was a real doozie. You have no idea how many problematic Hollywood actors I had to put in stunt positions on the board to get this deal off the ground! Anyway, I fully expect that we'll be churning out new WANGs in no time! npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Since anyone can now claim that they're the CEO of a failed computer brand, I wanted to announce that I am the new chief executive officer of Apricot Computers! npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Friday, June 13th is the only Friday the 13th in 2025. npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 @nprofile…5zd4 Does it also work the other way... play a MIDI file back to the SoundCanvas? npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 As I continue to hear about more and more cool projects being canceled and friends facing trying times due to our chief executive's petty brinksmanship, I wonder how long before the "no politics" people will be forced to finally realize that politics do affect our hobby? npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 So where does this leave small businesses that rely on Chinese manufacturing to fill the gap? npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 The $800 de minimis and cheap Chinese manufacturing are the reasons that many inexpensive gadgets designed to keep your vintage computers running were even possible in the first place. npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 I get it, you love your Commodore - but the Apple phone is way more iconic! npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 The PicoMicroMac has been updated with a new design that integrates the SD card reader! In stock right now at JCM-1! npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY 2025! (Thanks, @nprofile…svv3 ) #aprilfools npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Go download @engineersneedart.com's previously unreleased prototypes. Don't ask questions, just do it. npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 "Apple stops Vision Pro production amid weak demand and customer dissatisfaction" npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 My Christmas gift to myself this year was to get my Macintosh Portable up and running. Many thanks to npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Since #ParamountPlus makes it impossible to get a screenshot, I went ahead and mocked this up in honor of Gabriel Bell. #startrek #ds9 #bellriots npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 The best thing #Microsoft added to Windows 11 was the ability to force-quit a program by right-clicking the icon on the taskbar and selecting "End Task". Sure, #Apple users have had this since forever, but it's just nice in 2024 to finally have feature parity with #macOS Tiger. npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Hall Effect Sensor, sure. But why no Oat Effect? Designers are clearly out of touch. npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 My custom @npub13le…6saf art has arrived! #plotter #maths #artist https://youtu.be/_hm7r32t0P8 npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 @npub13le…6saf Look at the end. This is the 24W charger for the color 1xx PowerBooks. Using one of these on B&W models is often a display killer (in a similar fashion to what you are showing here). npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 @npub13le…6saf To verify, you're not using this power brick, right? npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Weird way to announce "The guy that owns this site is tired of people seeing all the adult profiles he likes, so we're hiding likes for everyone, gutting another feature of the product. Also, we can't seemingly do anything about how the site is gamed by bots, so we're hiding it." npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 You know the PicoGUS; That amazing card for your retro PC that simulates an Adlib, CMS, MPU-401, Tandy 3-Voice, Gravis Ultrasound AND lets you use USB joysticks in DOS? Go give their github page a star? They're SO CLOSE to 500! npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 #SHORTS - I’ve got the exact same #problem with #food npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 Never Ever EVER use @USPS Ground Advantage #shipping - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk-HjsOpCqw npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 #SHORTS - #goose #geese #goslings #nature npub1tk46n7fpqjpumwvqn8nua3hc2l2fyfwj0n2d6vfu8f8flqs3wntqcas224 Ron's Computer Videos🖥️📼 @npub1gh4…nsu9 just uploaded a great video about the Voodoo 1 accelerator by #3DFX! I love these cards.. they are such a core memory of the early days of 3D gaming on the PC! Please give it a watch? #retro #vintage #gamingpc https://youtu.be/-yafzmreZtQ
