The front-end I'm using on my Amstrad M4 Card doesn't support launching cartridges. Thanks to Claude, it now does. And it was super easy to add.

Meet Overclocked, my entry for the @cerebras x @googlegemma 4 hackathon! Overclocked turns a dull-but-real enterprise problem - a warehouse sortation backlog, where every parcel needs a fast and correct decision - into a live, arcade-style race, utilising the amazing super fast inference to show Cerebras streaking ahead. Real code, real agents, real tasks! Read more in the thread, please share if you find it cool, ask any questions, and see if for yourself at overclocked.ourbiplane.com (simulated inference for cost reasons).
Days like today I'm really grateful that the Yulong buses have passenger air conditioning. Had to take a 36 double deck afterwards and it was like sitting in an oven. Really hope the drivers are being kept cool and hydrated in this heat. @NCT_Buses
Every year without fail I struggle through the heat wishing I had an air conditioning unit, then I end up forgetting all about getting one until the next heatwave.

Trabajar con el AY-3-8912 después de años en el SID es como pasar de un sintetizador analógico a una navaja suiza de tres hojas.
Sin filtros, sin PWM, sin ring modulation, sin hard sync...
Por eso, cuando lo haces sonar bien, la satisfacción es enorme.

Introducing the SidecarTridge Croissant Keyboard Emulator: modern Bluetooth on a real Atari ST, installed inside the original case.
The Croissant is a small board that replaces the IKBD (the Intelligent Keyboard) inside an Atari ST or STe and adds full Bluetooth support, without any external dongle, adapter, or visible modification.
What it does:
- Pair Bluetooth gamepads, keyboards and mice to a real Atari ST
- Keep the original Atari keyboard active alongside the wireless devices, so you don't lose anything
- Configurable from a web interface
No external buttons. No visible mods. You close the case and it just looks like a stock Atari ST that happens to talk to your Logitech mouse and your Xbox controller.
And because retro computing should be hackable and shared:
- Firmware is open source on GitHub
- Schematics and documentation are public
- You can buy a ready-made board, or build one yourself from the open hardware files
Watch the full demo here:
