Exactly -- for the ASQ10 in my eBay history, it was https://www.ebay.com/itm/203144466152 Honestly, I'd probably just pay the premium and buy a kit if I did it today. I did this during COVID lockdown when my hobby

Agreed -- the price contrast between the unit itself and the component replacements and upgrades is a turn-off, however going into a ~30 year vintage pro audio sampler thinking it will have a low cost of ownership or repair feels unfair. Ye

They are cheap to find -- on Yahoo Auctions Japan I got an s3000xl for ~$80 since the 8-out works in the MPC2k/xl and go for as much as ~$400 alone. But that doesn't mean anything about the cost to repair, upgrade, or in the case

I did a backlight replacement on a S3000XL, a LCD replacement on S900, and found a cheap ($25?) LCD replacement for ASQ10 (same as MPC60/MPC3000). Jazzcat + Ebay sell expensive replacements, but they are actually just cheap LCD display

Does githubnext.com read as a phishing-adjacent third party to anyone else? Why not deploy as next.github.com subdomain?

/r/tcl has a similar problem -- rare topical posts and frequent TV support questions.

NextBSD ("FreeBSD X") operates in a similar space and was also looking promising, but it looks like development stopped. In that approach, the BSD kernel was extended to support some Mach syscalls and libdispatch, launchd, and a f

I feel like this hits Tcl's use case pretty well, too. Old but not forgotten.

Emacs natives should know "C-x * *". Worth learning the bin/hex support with "d 2", "d 6".

2x HP LP2475w. They are 1920x1200 / 16:10 IPS panels with pivot/tilt/rotate stands and a bunch of inputs.. They're a bit old, but look great and can find them used for ~$150.

while this is taking a mathematical/theoretical approach, it's worth reiterating that a modern compiler won't even bother allocating temporary variables on the stack and the values will just move between registers. Moreover, most modern CPU

Hardly a security flaw. How do you expect Safari/Chrome autofill the same passwords? And after the password is auto-filled any JavaScript can access the input's value attribute. I use this in my .emacs so Emacs can grab passwords from Key
