RIP, beloved 70s #Krups75 coffee grinder. Served me well for a year or so (after I found it on eBay) then the bearing started to make a grinding noise (no pun intended). Tried to clean and lubricate it today. It worked really smoothly for a minute afterwards, then it literally just exploded, even ripped out one of the threaded screws inserts. It likely got stuck and the motor windings shorted out violently. Can’t even move the shaft now, probably welded to itself. #Repair #Fail #VintageTech 😫

NEWS: Startup Trying To Bring Back VHS Tapes for Data Storage! 📼

In a bold attempt to merge nostalgia with modern storage needs, a startup is aiming to bring back VHS tapes as the next big thing in data storage! The startup even offers custom retro-themed labels for data tapes! 🌈

Sceptics question the VHS tapes' reliability, but the startup embraces data loss as a vintage charm. Who needs 100% integrity when unpredictability is the thrill?

Off out to a party this weekend — invitation says ‘dress to impress’ so it’s the perfect excuse to wear one of my ‘holy grail’ #Seiko watches.

Can’t decide if I go:

1982
Seiko T001 TV watch — as worn by #JamesBond in ‘Octopussy’

1983
Seiko M516-4009 — as worn by Spengler, Stantz and Venkman in #Ghostbusters

1984
Seiko UC-2000. Whilst I don’t think this has been featured in a movie, it does have a full qwerty keyboard!

A Trove of Apple Promo Videos from the ’80s and ’90s

"For a few years now I’ve been sitting on two DVDs full of Apple promotional videos that someone put together and auctioned on eBay. Happily, most of the content was new to me.

The videos promote various Apple systems, primarily the Macintosh but also the Apple II, Apple III, Lisa and Newton MessagePad. They were put out in the ’80s and early ’90s, but I’m not sure of the intended audience for all of them."

Anyone ever heard of the Abaton Transform?

"Abaton Transform automatically regenerates Apple II applications for instant use on the Macintosh. Abaton translates II programs, including screen graphics, at the object-code level for the Macintosh, regardless of the original program’s source language. The process often takes less than 15 minutes, and even the most sophisticated programs are translated in no more than six hours."
