I love a good museum, and I also love me some antique hardware. So, I was overjoyed this morning to discover the Computer History Museum has launched a digital portal (via Hackaday), which means you can enjoy its collection from the comfort of your own home. The museum is based near Mountain View, California, which…

“The loss of the demo disc was the killing blow”. We’ve never made a secret of the fact that Sega’s final console, the Dreamcast, holds a very special place in our hearts here at Time Extension. Home to some amazing titles and arcade-perfect conversions, the Dreamcast remains popular with many players – but its lifespan…
Well, don’t I have egg on my face. After writing an article yesterday wherein I pointed out that Windows 11 is “currently in a reasonable state“, it appears the OS now has something of a stacked bug problem.
