Century-Old #Quantum Mystery Solved: #Scientists Finally See Inside the #Electron’s “Tunnel”

Finally got my hands on one of these babys, wanted one for so long, gorgeous #Acorn #Electron #RetroComputing

UK nuclear fusion labs to get 3D boost to build tougher reactor parts https://www.byteseu.com/1219308/ #3dPrinter #Electron #Energy #Energy&Environment #laser #Manufacturing #Nuclear #NuclearFusion #Physics #reactor #Reseach #Science #UKAEA

As a personal opinion, I think some folks pay too much attention to the old things(like #retrocomputing). I think there are so many good things in the old things. And I also agree the modern computing age has tons of caveats. But instead of hanging on the old, we should take inspiration and make things for the feature to escape this hole we are currently stuck in.

I would say a wiser way to spend time is making retro style but modern computers which actually solve a problem. Like I said before, you can do a lot with something like a Raspberry Pi Pico, if you have the right set of tools and software ecosystem. Then we could have dirt cheap computers which actually solve a problem. Rather than just pure nostalgia.

I wish a group would form to write proper Operating System for some cheap #SBC, let's say Amlogic S905X or even #milkvduo and try to form an ecosystem around it.

If our softwares were written correctly and not like half of our desktop softwares were actually bloated #Electron apps, we could get so far with only 2GB of RAM.

Think about it, a school pays only like 300 USD for a dozen of these SBCs and they could use it for like a decade!

Edit: I remember in the list of projects funded by NLnet, there were some "single task" computers built with FPGA. Also like I said a while ago in my other post, web is a major problem. You can do tons of things with very lowend processors... except the modern web. But also on the other hand, do we need the modern web for most of our purposes?

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron.

This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM.

Right on, Commanders!

I upgraded to NixOS 25.11 (unstable) because I couldn’t check for an upgrade within 25.05 — Podman depended on an outdated version of Electron (34.5.8), which appears to be end-of-life.

I wasn't willing to override the configuration to allow insecure or deprecated software, nor did I want to selectively mix stable and unstable packages. So, I decided it was best to upgrade the entire system.

Today's addition to #Acorn #Electron #Elite is the energy bomb animation from the Apple II, BBC Master and NES.

In the original Electron version, the energy bomb did little more than beep gently. Now it rages with lightning bolts! That's much better.

The Compendium version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite now has missions - three of them, in fact.

Here's the briefing for the Constrictor mission, backported from the #BBCMicro; I've also ported the Thargoid plans mission, and the Trumbles from the #C64 and #NES.

My new version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite is feature-complete! Now for some testing.

Here's the feature list. It’s big! Big enough that this is effectively a Compendium version of Electron Elite; to sit proudly alongside the #BBCMicro Compendia.

Not long now!

The enhanced version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite continues to grow. I've now added the ship hangar, which gets shown when you dock.

This feature was only in the BBC and NES versions, and not the Commodore 64 or Apple II, so that's a one-up for the Elk.

It's #Thargoids Thursday in the enhanced version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite.

Here's me misjumping into witchspace and being ambushed by Thargoid motherships and their Thargon drones.

Electron commanders can now join in the bug-hunt - at last!

(I'm hoping to release this in the next couple of weeks... Coming soon: the ship hangar, missions and energy bombs.)

Enhanced #Elite on the #Acorn #Electron now has 31 different ship types (compared to just 11 in the original).

Here's a little clip showing an encounter with a Krait and a Mamba on the way to the sun.

Coming soon... Thargoids!
