There's IronFox

Taki system od Googla na słabsze komputery gdzie jego funkcjonalność w głównej mierze oparta jest na przeglądarce Google Chrome i usługach chmurowych. Dość mocno ograniczony oraz uzależniony całkowicie od Google. Można kupić laptopy z nim na pokładzie za niewielkie pieniądze tzw. Chromebooki.

You're using it not for only tor connections?

I already bought gifts for my C64 because of Saint Nicholas Day, which we celebrate on December 6th in my country. The shopping list included:

  • Retroscaler 2x ~45 $
  • S Video/Chinc AV cable ~5,50 $
  • Joystick (second-hand but high quality) ~ 20,5 $
  • SD2IEC with Ogryzek Cartridge (for fast loading) (second-hand also) ~ 33 $

I am adding the purchase of parts for DIY Pi1541 project to my wish list for the future. I want to learn something about electronics.

 

I'm looking for something like Librewolf which I'm using daily on my desktop but for Android.

I avoid using Steam as much as possible because it's proprietary software that can be used as spyware and that tries to keep me dependent on their platform. My favourite Steam multiplayer game is Dota 2, I spend a hundred of hours playing it and I love it <3 Also Worms series it's great if you're looking for offline multiplayer, because you don't need LAN or multiple controllers :)

I didn't have much experience with Commodore 64 games. What can you recommend?

There are three retro games that I truly love - SuperFrog, Lotus 2, and Cannon Fodder. All are for Amiga computer but for right now I'm looking for something cool that I can play on my C64 :)

That's my brick https://imgur.com/a/qZkOMvf I tried to turn on my C64 and everything were okay. I wasn't powering it for the first time, I did it few years ago already.

If we speak about loading games I have cassete jack adapter, I heard that I can load games from it using phone. But what when I want to save my program? I don't think it's possible by this way. Maybe I can save it to this Kungfu Flash 2? Where I can get it?

I have tv like this but it's big, it'll be a uncomfortable for me. Of course I can try to change layout of my room, then maybe it'll be okay. Maybe I'll try BASIC but it don't sound to me like something practical but maybe fun

I also want to say that I don't know too much to about electronic but I know more about software and programming. However, I have never had any contact with low-level programming such as Assembler.

Hi, I have Commodore 64 computer in my house but I don't know what can I do with it... Also I need to find a way to connect it to my monitor or buy CRT Monitor.

I'm completely from another generation than you guys (I'm teenager) so I didn't have too much contact with this computer. I'm really interested about computers so this is reason why it caught my eye. I think the most basic purpose of this computer is playing games, I mean that this is what people think when they hear about it.

I love retro games but I'm bored with games for right now and instead I'm focused on learning new stuff and improving my skills. And if I would like to play games I would just run them on emulator.

I don't have any hardware for it expect broken joystick, cassette player and blackbox cartridge (I buyed it few years ago and I don't remember why)

My question is how can I learn something about computers/electronic stuff with this Commodore 64? What's best way to display video from it? Why you love this computer so much? And what this computer can do, what emulator can't?

In the past (2021-2022) I remember that Nvidia drivers were really pain in the ass and installing them always ended for me with black screen. For right now everything is working for me in debian-based distributions and arch-linux. Yesterday I was looking for new linux distros, I wanted to try Fedora and OpenSuse but drivers didn't work there at all. In Fedora this Nouveau driver was okay but in OpenSuse even open-source driver wasn't working.

Nothing because I don't care :)
