    Well it took some doing but the Imsai 8080 now works with my TeleVideo terminal.  I even have it connected to a BBS through telnet!

     
    Was even able to hack into the school's computer and change my girlfriend's biology grade. 

     
    Now if only I can find the number to that game developer so I can try their new game...

    Today via a YouTuber I found out this guy on eBay sells reproduction as well as novelty case badges?  He even does this classic styled Win9X badge but it's Windows 10.  One of my retro PCs, with the i3, also dual boots Windows 10 and I wanna put this next to the authentic Windows 98SE sticker on the case:
     

     
    They also do these classic Athlon styled badges for Ryzen so I added a couple to my order:

    So I just bought a new bike today! Can't wait to get it registered and insured.  I Haven't had a bike since I sold my dirt bike 5 years ago.  Have a 30 min commute to work figured I might as well enjoy it in the spring/summer/fall 🙂

    I have a MedTronics device for almost thirteen years, not for my heart but implanted on my brain. The only situation I was warned for, are security gates at airports and medical devices such as MRI scanners.
     
    After it was placed, I received a strong magnet to shutdown the device in case it should go haywire. The magnet should be placed on the pacemaker and it should down by itself (never tested though).
     
    Now I'm eligable for a new phone and I was planning to get an iPhone 12 Pro. I've read the stories about the magnets too. And I remember stories of the iPad cases triggering medical devices too. I have had iPads since its first release with Apple cases and I never had issues with my pacemaker. However, I have no experience with Apple's Smart Cover which has magnets to keep the cover on the iPad.

    Now, to make a long story short, I decided not to get an iPhone 12 because of the magnets but to stay on the Android route (sigh).

    I would recommend a few things:

    1) Make sure he is not an administrator. That alone will help prevent infections. He wants to install something, he needs your permission. This will act screen to prevent bad software from being installed. 
    2) Run Malwarebytes on the system (get the paid version). It does a pretty good job activitely protecting your system. 
    3) Setup Cloud Flare Family (1.1.1.2 and 1.0.0.2) as a DNS on your router can further help stop some nasties. 
    4) Education - Teach your son. Sit down with him and explain to him about things, why they can cause issues and whatnot. 
    5) Do a regular audit - AKA check over the system and make sure it is up to stuff. Do this once a month. Have your son sit down with you when you do it so you can educate him as well. If you show him your password, change it. Explain to him why you are doing it.

    I would honestly buy the SMSL SU-8, which has remote control, variable XLR outputs and plenty of connectivity, and single ended outputs to a seperate amp, such as the Loxjie P20 which I honestly really like if I want to use tubes with my HD800s'
