I went and got myself the cheapest teleprompter kit on Amazon, let's see what it has to offer.
Leeventi offered this kit to me plus two of their kit tripods at free of charge and I jumped at it. This is the version 4 of the teleprompter and it's the cheapest kit on Amazon right now.
Pros:
- Very simple kit but also very sturdy construction
- Cheap
- Very low weight
- Can be used with or without tripods to put it on
- Very versatile camera mount options (phone holder included)
- Comes with a Bluetooth controller
- Comes with two glass panes
- Works with Android/Windows/Mac OS/iOS ( with limitations)
Cons:
- Does not come with an all-in one Software package
- Software deals from Leeventi are subscription only
- Tripods are rather weak

I've been gifted an Amiga 2000 mounted in a PC tower case.
This is most of the unedited footage taken from the 1st attempt to power it up. Feel free to hop about.
The Amiga came needing slight repairs.But not a lot of them.

Stanley's got an amazing product in their line up right now: The advertised with 59db(A) Stanley Silent Air Compressor. At 160 Euros a perfect product.
Too good to be true ? YOU BET!
This is a reasonable offer, sure - but advertising a compressor with a record breaking 59db(A), the loudness of a normal conversation, and delivering a product that shamelessly boasts a LWA 79 sticker right next to the 59er is nothing but a scam.

Another status update on the Teensy port of Altair8800 Arduino Project for the Arduino platform.
This is the prototype for the Altair8800Again mainboard PCB.

This is part two of the CNC-Plotter videos for
part one see here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLQajSRnELc
Part three see here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcXlak7RNV0
This part shows the workflow of a PCB plotting from
start to finish, with added detail to the workings of
the plotter itself.
Remember, the plotter is entirely made of leftover
junk and some brass and CFK material I had lying
around, It is not meant to be fancy or accurate.
As a note to using permanent ink pens with PCB
material: The cleaner the PCB is - the better your
results are, you really need to get the copper to its
best shine, or the ink will come off when etching.
The aduino firmware used for this is available for
download via github. See here:
https://github.com/dherrendoerfer/uCNC_controller
It is published under GPLv2 and should be considered
beta quality.

I've been gifted an Amiga 2000 mounted in a PC tower case.
This is most of the unedited footage taken from the tower disassembly. Feel free to hop about.
The Amiga came in a tower case. It was quite an adventure getting it back out without breaking anything.

The chip shortage is upon us - nothing can fix that for now.
So let's build a vintage style computer from parts that are available - and as little of them as possible. Impossible ? OpenSource ?
Update 2:
- Got simulated VIA6522s and keyboard input working.
- Stable frequency is 2.0Mhz now
Source files are available here: (but the repos may lag behind)
https://github.com/dherrendoerfer/bad6502
Hardware (PCB) files:
https://easyeda.com/dherrendoerfer/bad6502
The Commander X16 project:
https://www.commanderx16.com/
About the bad6502:
Presenting the bad6502, the 35 Dollar 6502 based computer that has needs no chips.
Features (subject to change):
- HDMI
- USB keyboard
- Wifi, Bluetooth
- 1+ MHz WDC65C02
- Embedded development platform
Ok, honestly: ... its a 65C02 with emulated hardware on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. But it's cheap and fun and available now. Still fiddling with the hard and software a lot.
More soon !

Update 8:
- everything is broken - again, but there's hope
- more hardware also implemented
- chips are even more unavailable
