Cose che fino a vent’anni fa sarebbero sembrate fantascienza, oggi son prodotti commercializzati correntemente.
Vien da chiedersi quanto durerà questa esplosione delle prestazioni…

Well, I kept on this InForce IFC6410 for months in a row, oh wait, more than a year, so I should expect that a development board could fail sooner or later.
Now the time has come and of course it seems always too soon.
Next time I’ll need an always on machine at home I’ll use one of the THREE old unused laptop I have. The question is where to place them.

I may need this page http://www.androidiani.com/forum/modding-altri-terminali-mtk/505579-prestigio-multiphone-5044-duo-mt6589-1-2-ghz-1gb-ram-4gb-flash-modding.html in the eventual case I wish to mod my Stonex Ultra.

HWE Hardware Enablement???
Yesterday my old and once-powerful laptop told me it felt abandoned. Today is the turn of the netbook:

MEGA65 8-bit computer
Modern retrocomputing made the way I like:
MEGA65: the 8-bit computer: an open-source new and open C65-like computer.
The 21st century realization of the C65 heritage: A complete 8-bit computer running around 50x faster than a C64 while being highly compatible. C65 design, mechanical keyboard, HD output, SD card support, Ethernet, extended memory and other features increase the fun without spoiling the 8-bit feel. Hardware designs and software are open-source (LGPL).
