Always amazing to kick off #WWDC26 with our student developers! Congrats to our Swift Student Challenge Distinguished winners!

[AmbaSat @ambasat2]

Thanks to @NorthumbriaUni for featuring AmbaSat in its Space SME case studies, covering our work in accessible space technology, STEM education and low-cost in-orbit testing.

I always wonder how hi-impact would have looked if it had existed in the 80s, and we were dealing with BBC Bs, Econet networks, and 20MB Winchester drives that held everything!

EXA's April fool..

[Exa @exanetworks]

Big breakthrough from our team…
We’ve officially upgraded our infrastructure to run on Tea ☕

Early testing shows a direct correlation between brew strength and bandwidth.

Rolling out across Yorkshire now.
#Yorkshire #Connectivity

Proper brew, Proper network.

[hi-impact tech @hiimpacttech]

@exanetworks Surely you need to test different types of teapot..Porcelain, Metal, China..catering size ones made of steel! 😆

I'm guessing you're only using @YorkshireTea ?

We're hosting a free event at our offices on the 23rd April looking at all aspects of digital safeguarding, and the latest Google for Education updates. You don't have to be a hi-impact school to attend either!.. #digitalsafeguarding #teaching #googleedu

There's a lot of Windows 3.1/95/98/2000 and XP in modern versions of Windows, if you dig around a bit

[Windows Latest @WindowsLatest]

In fact, you can find legacy features, including dialog boxes from Windows 3.1, in Windows 11 😁

The equipment is pretty cheap, and you can learn the dark art of antenna building!...

Are any of my schools, or any hi-impact schools interested in this? - With the ISS (apparently) being taken out of service in 2030, we're running out of opportunities!

Memory management in MS-DOS was a nightmare, squeezing every last kilobyte out of that 640k to get games running took patience!..and then there was extended and expanded memory!

At least for Win95 onwards - your RAM was treated as one block!
