@MonstersGo @Google No ideas come to mind that don't require time travel and several Arnold Schwarzeneggers.

@mdf200 @kilianhekhuis @LinuxJedi With the C64 core, a SuperCPU might well work on the #MEGA65. I can't think of a reason why not, apart perhaps from the SuperCPU having trouble physically fitting if it hangs over the left side of the port, where the MEGA65's power jack goes.

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@LAK132 ooh, nice! Interested to hear how it goes. Should be quite possible, I think.

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@LAK132 Calypsi C seems a good option for #MEGA65 with its ability to have >64KB code. X11 and/or SSL libraries might be possible with it.

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@antoniovil @MEGA65Retro @benitoss @kounch nice work! Great to see more folks able to have fun with the #MEGA65

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@LAK132 How fast does it synthesise with that?

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@stationmum101 Poor guy. Hope he's doing fine. Roos are such random 40kg lumps of self-accelerating muscle when it comes to roads. I believe the self-driving car stuff still has no way to reasonably predict their motion, unlike almost other road-side animals.

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@stationmum101 aww, no road ranger double-clutch dog boxing for you? ;)

Update: It works!!!

We’re able to see a 2mm wide plastic ball at 30 centimeters, with only 1/1300th of our planned transmitting power.

This validates our SNR budget and gets us closer to our final goal: tracking and killing mosquitoes at a 3meters range

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@stationmum101 Makes sense. I wonder how hard it would be to modify a cardboard box to automatically shut... no cat can resist jumping in one on sight ;)

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@stationmum101 so long as it's not during bushfire season. Very handy on those frosty outback winter mornings, though. ;)

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@Asher_Wolf No shame in an early night.

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@ectom0rph nope, it's a real retro phone, with retro ease of use.

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

Guesses welcome as to what I am making with my #MEGA65 :)

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@jaseinblack @MEGA65Retro close ;) Except it's a land-line. Someone I know needs a simple to use "land-line" phone, but everything you can buy for that is pretty crusty based on our collective experience. In other words, we need a retro phone :)

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@Asher_Wolf @skdh ... it should also be said that much of the problem here is lack of education and quality of education, which means that people aren't equipped for processing complicated information.

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@Asher_Wolf actually large portions of most populations struggle with "complicated information". This is also why flat earthers abound. You are 100% right that simple messaging is required to combat this. See https://t.co/RZGS2UFhzH for @skdh's great discussion on this. Vital reading.

@stationmum101 It's how you know cost of living is biting: Even the kangaroos are skipping the cost of a premium paint job and opting for "boring white" instead ;)

[Paul Gardner-Stephen @servalpaul]

@NibblePibbly @StevenCombs Yes, there is still something about datasette loading (when you don't have to do it that way ;). I also want to experiment to see how much data I can cram on a tape with the faster CPU.
