What was the most popular RAM size of #retrocomputers?
According my pseudo-random sampling of 119 machines, it's 64K.

Studio Changes Looking Good! Cables off floor. Gear mounted off-floor to get rid of stands. Everything wired for doing Live streams. Bonus: My guitar & Korg have room in the studio now.

Tom's Hardware · Commodore acquired for a ‘low seven figure’ price — new (acting) CEO comes from the retro community
There is no reason to believe that the original title of this game was "Uncle Clive" or that the cover depicts an angry, jealous Sir Clive Sinclair smashing a BBC Microcomputer with his fist. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
Welcome to 1976. 
Those were the days!

Amiga CD32 discs have interesting layout: first - data track, then - audio tracks, like this (captured with cdrdao):

Wondering is it always so? 
I only have several 
game and demo discs to explore 
I had performance problems in #Doom over #IPX, that turned out to be because one of my nics was running at 10 half duplex.
So I replaced it with a PCI nic. But it wasn't getting an IRQ at all. So I had to move it to a different slot which was directly next to the AGP. So now there's capton tape on the back of the NIC so it doesn't short out against the VGA heatsink.
Aren't #retrocomputers just the best? 
Finally got round to adding a profile pic. There’s a prize (a favourite) for the first person to reply with where it came from!
This opens right in front of my apartment!
Demoscene, retro computers and they even shows 2600 magazine :)

I posted to my @irishmasms@pixel.infosec.exchange account pictures of my two Lambda LQD-422 dual regulated power supplies. Scored at EFM, but both have issues. Is it worth having them fixed - and who would do such repairs?
The one has the note: CT 1 works, meter bad. CH 2 to rail, Meter bad"
The other has" CH1 & CH2 volts are good. Meter Ch1 is bad, CH2 good?"
I am unfamiliar with power supplies like this; was looking for testing on my bench before I had to dig out the right wall wart and thought these may help.
EDIT: I found this that may help https://www.djerickson.com/lambda/

I posted over on @irishmasms@pixel.infosec.exchange The #mug
I received at #microcenter in #santaclara yesterday.
It is a nice mug, it will be added into my rotation.
The new store, well it is nice to see them back in #siliconValley
Not as nice as I recall their store in #denver and definitely focused on #peripherals targeting #gamer types and #influencers
The selection of #3dprinting supplies was impressive
The crowds was insane - the parking lot was full, lines for support was long, checkout was not that bad. I did not purchase anything though. The couple of items I would have considered was on sale but sold out or was more than I was willing to spend.
I would suggest going in the off hours or waiting until the newness dies down before going.

I was getting ready to set up a Mac Plus and placed it in a table while I dug out the keyboard and mouse. I bumped the table and knocked the machine onto the floor head first... I have brought shame to my ancestors...
... But it still works... Not even a scratch!
