If you want people to read the article, you might want to reduce the amount of advertising on the page. I couldn’t really read it because there were only two lines of text visible between the top of my screen and the overlay ad.

Been a while since my last post here... just too busy! But check this out: perhaps the most hated drive ever, but I love that sound!
Quantum Bigfoot 5.25” HDD, a whopping 2.5 GB.

Yeah… At first, I tried drilling small holes and soldering a CR2032 onto it. That actually worked pretty well, but it looked a bit cheap. Later, I ordered a couple of replacements from China… only one of them worked, and luckily, it’s still working today.

It's official! #PicoIDE, the open source IDE/ATAPI drive emulator I've been working on for the better part of this year, will be launching at Crowd Supply! Go there to sign up for updates and to be notified when the campaign is live: www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

Maybe this is the nicest Raspberry Pi so far. The new Pi 500+ is a nice mechanical RGB keyboard with built in PC with 16GB RAM and includes a 256GB NVMe module. Maybe it’s a little pricey and personally I don’t like the loud clicks… but I it a nice and solid piece!

The look is fine in my opinion but I never noticed the rotating rainbow colored pointer on my MBM3Pro until Tahoe

Of coarse I like the old vintage and retro stuff… but yeah I also like new tech stuff essentially Apple things… so yeah! I got the new iPhone 17 Pro in Cosmic Orange 😍 #upgrade #iphone #apple #orange

People who know me, know I despise flamingos 🦩 (the decorative kind, not the real ones). So, I had to give this cake a personal twist 😈

Waiting by the pool — my daughter is doing her swim test for her B diploma. So I’ll just enjoy a good book outside!

My book is published on Amazon as a Kindle ebook! 📚 And the price? Just a cup of coffee! ☕ For now, it’s only available in Dutch… but maybe an English version will come in the future.

Screenshot of all 191 pages of my book

My book is almost ready for publication! 📖 What started as a 1–2 page document has grown into a 191-page handbook.

It’s written in Dutch, but I might translate it later. First, let me finish it!

#TechTip: Taking a little break at work, so it’s time for a short walk. It was cold, but refreshing—just what I needed to clear my head and start fresh again! 🚶‍♂️❄️✨

#RandomThoughts I was at work, sitting on the toilet (no specifics, don’t worry). I forgot my smartphone, so I had nothing to do but stare at the tiles on the wall… and wow, they’re so ugly. Never noticed before! 😂

A colleague found some ISA cards and a Intel 486 DX cpu while cleaning his attic. Two network cards and a SCSI card! For some people, it's just trash, but for me, these are this little treasures. 💾✨

Nooo… I hate that one. 😩 I ordered a couple, and only one actually worked. I just hope when I turn on my 486, it’s still functional… fingers crossed! 🤞💻

There are several marketplaces here in the Netherlands for selling unwanted hardware. But people want everything for prices far below the value—and if you don’t agree, they get upset or angry.

I’m not looking for the highest price, just a fair one. Is that too much to ask? 🤷‍♂️

✨ Happy New Year! ✨

Wishing you a 2025 filled with happiness, health, and wonderful moments. Make it a beautiful year full of new opportunities and beautiful memories! 🌟

My English isn’t perfect yet, but ChatGPT helps me improve it. I really want to learn English well enough to write and speak it fluently on my own.
