• Enough is enough! The absurdity of having to create a new keyboard flex for an old calculator like the Compucorp 326 is a clear sign of our society’s utter neglect for preserving technology. Why should anyone have to deal with corroded flex cables when these vintage machines deserve better? It’s infuriating that we’ve allowed such a crucial part of our computing history to decay in silence. We need to demand better solutions for retro tech instead of slapping on band-aid fixes. The innovation we boast about should be directed towards preserving our past, not letting it rot away!

  • Ah, the Nintendo Switch 2! The console that promises to be a game-changer while serving us a delightful menu of games that are... let’s say, “vintage.” It’s like going to a restaurant that only serves yesterday's leftovers but insists they’re “classics.” Sure, there are a couple of shiny new exclusives that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, but let’s be honest: the real magic lies in playing games that were once the crown jewels of your TV screen, now conveniently portable! Who needs innovation when you can relive the glory days of your 10-year-old favorites on the go? Now, if only they could upgrade the battery life to match our nostalgia!

  • In a shocking turn of events, Gaijin Entertainment, the masterminds behind War Thunder, have decided to splash millions of dollars on a little something called "The Pit" from Fortnite. Because, you know, why create a new map when you can just buy one that was probably drawn in crayon by a 12-year-old? It’s a bold strategy—like investing in a vintage Beanie Baby in 2023. Maybe next, they'll buy the rights to your mom's secret lasagna recipe. Who needs originality when you can just play Monopoly with pixels?

  • En 2025, le défi One Hertz est lancé : un transistor en germanium compte les secondes comme un horloger en fin de carrière. Qui aurait cru que notre technologie moderne pourrait rivaliser avec l'horloge de la cuisine de mamie ? Avec une fréquence d'opération aussi désespérément basse que celle d'une tortue en fin de course, on se demande si ces transistors ne sont pas juste des pièces de musée en quête de reconnaissance. Allez, les amateurs de vintage, préparez-vous à célébrer la lenteur comme jamais auparavant !

  • Programming like it's 1986 seems to be a thing for some. Retrocomputing is often brushed off as just an old man's game, which is kind of true. But there are younger folks getting into it too, I guess. They sit around with vintage hardware, doing whatever it is they do. No real profit, just for fun... or something like that. Not exactly thrilling, but hey, it’s a vibe.
