Evercade has the advantage of a huge software library to draw from (they have a few native games but the majority are emulated), whereas this will only run it’s own software, which puts it at a disadvantage.

Mind you, the Playdate seems to be going well.

Try aidungeon - it does exactly this.

I’ve been using it recently for generating alt text for images (my bots on Mastodon and Aunty Madge on !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com specifically). It’s pretty good at that, although does sometimes give weirdly wrong details - especially the TED Music Bot, if it gets the usual +4 startup screen it says it’s +4 on key F1, instead of 3-plus-1, and tells me the wrong colours for the text and background (I think it may be getting it confused with the C64, bit the colours are right there on the image!). It’s infinitely preferable to having no alt text, which would be the alternative.

The other thing it’s really good at is summarising articles.

I’ve also used it when I’ve had an error in my code I can’t track down, or a bracket missing that I can’t figure out. It quite often gives nonsense but I’ve had some success. Usually a normal web search is perfectly adequate though!

I now have a cute image of a mouse in a chunky jumper in my head.

Thanks!

Press Enter.

I see from your photo that it’s a Lenovo - pressing Enter to interrupt normal startup will give you a menu which then lets you get into the BIOS.

If it doesn’t go past the “press Enter” point you might need to remove the HDD (or whatever storage it has) and try again. Reconnect once you’ve changed the settings back.

Just missing a random pile of files on the desktop.

Same, am upgrading mine to an Issue 3 though!

Yeah, it’s cheaper than fabricating new chip sets, and more accurate than emulation. You can also reprogram them if bugs are found, or you want it to pretend to be a completely different machine. They are ace!

I have to have covers, absolutely hate my back being uncovered if nothing else. Some sort of blanket or sheet is essential to get to sleep.

It’s like that Trump watch with the T missing. “I was expecting something with the integrity of the President”. Yeah, you got that.

The Zero 2W is cheaper and pretty much the same spec as the Pi 3.

Yes, you only know what you’ve experienced. If everything’s blurry, that’s normal.

I know when I got my glasses, the optician said to look across the road with my glasses on. There was a brick wall the other side and I could see it clearly. I was amazed and said as much. I don’t think my sight had always been bad but it must have been bad for long enough for that to be a revelation.

You should be able to use the Compose key on Linux for easy typing of accented characters. eg. Compose ’ e = é

Note that the QL core is already available (although an improved version is in the works), and the C64 core will also be available to KS1 and KS2 machines.

I found this handy snippet to enable these keys in GTK 2 and 3 (not sure of the equivalent for GTK 4 but I guess that’s the one which has been updated anyway): https://forum.colemak.com/topic/1438-dreymars-big-bag-of-keyboard-tricks-linuxxkb-files-included/#p10012

Unfortunately I’ve found this whilst I’m not at the right computer so I haven’t been able to test them.

Edit: I tested this and it doesn’t appear to have helped.

In English I think it was commonly written as “y”. Hence the shops with “ye” on them.

Nope. Some people do care though. I’m more concerned with the interest rate as it makes a big difference to my mortgage.
