Hi all,

I bought a Sinclair ZX81 on a garage sale some days ago for around 12 USD as a non-tested item as the guy said he had no wires to even try and run it. I have a couple of RF cable kicking about from my Atari 2600 and ZX Spectrum, so I have this basis covered.

According to the manual LINK it takes 9V 700mA unregulated (I'm not sure what it means) 3.7mm jack power supply. I have a 9V DC 1A jack power supply I bought for the Atari (it's not an original one - a unbranded one) and I tried to use it, but to no success. Manual tuning my TV same as with Spectrum and Atari, and no signal.

I was wondering if maybe the power supply is not up to spec? I was thinking that maybe 1mA is too much to power it up? But I went online to look for an unbranded ZX81 power supply and they are running 2A so I'm not sure what's going on here.

Is it busted? Or should I get one of those unbranded power supplies that say they are made for ZX81 to test it?

Thanks :)

As in the title is there an app for the every 20min look at an object 20m away for 20s rule?

Cheers

As in the title - its on sale on all consoles at the moment for a very good price and I was wondering what console should I get it on. I like the idea of playing it on the go and I thought as it looks like it should run no difference what console im playing it. But I heard some mixed reviews regarding the performance on Switch.

Hi troops, I'm trying to get photos files from my dad's old HDDs. We no longer have access to any old PCs to acutally plug them in, so I was wondering if you could point me to some sort of USB converter that would allow me to grab files from them. My cousin has a PC but it's a newer model with more up to date connection to HDD/SSD. Disks in question:

Many thanks! D

Couple of weeks ago I finally launched the store, I was working on for a couple of months now. From building the website and production to marketing and accounting, I had to do it all on my own. I actually started working on it during covid but never had time to finish it until recently. I hope you like it :)

Hiya, I just started my personal project - an online shop with funny Scottish merch. Would I be allowed to share it here? Ta

Are there any fitness trackers that don't have a screen and are supported by some OS apps?

I remember researching this some time ago, and there was some abandoned by it's company fitness tracker that people tried to reverse engineer to work with an OS app.

I would like it to have no screen as I already have a mechanical watch, and I dont like to have two things doing the same thing.

Cheers

Hi all I recently moved both my email domains to a Tutanota account and so far I'm mostly happy with their services. I now hit the first obstacle, which is, I'm starting my own woocommerce store and to get emails from the website, through contact@storedomain.com, I need to setup an SMTP server which Tutanota obviously doesn't support. From what I found out, you can have MX records setup to only one provider. What's my best option here? Would I have to move my domain from tutanota to, let's say, Google? Many thanks

EDIT: I host both my personal website and my woocommerce store on my VPS server. Should I just drop Tutanota and move all my emails there too?

EDIT2: It seems that Proton supports SMTP - would I be better off moving all my emails to Proton?

This song makes me nostalgic for a reality I never got to experience - slow paced American countryside.
