    So what did I miss?

    Did RAM get any cheaper while I was gone, new BBS software created, AI pumped out a BBS hit tune for Spotify?

    Actually, a new BBS software WAS created! ViSiON/3, a reimagining of ViSiON/2 written in go has been created. It's still in early stages but it's pretty amazing so far.

    Heck, not even the only BBS software that was created, as the first mesh / LoRa based BBS came out (supplydrop.meshamerica.com).

    (I think there are more examples, too, but it's neat when BBSs are pushing into something new)

    Yeah bummer huh? I hear Raspberry Pi 6 may be delayed because of this but the model 4 I have and the current model 5 probably does enough anyway.

    I wonder if software authors will downspec the demands of their programs to accommodate the tightening of supply?

    Poop! How much did you end up putting in it?

    I thought the graphics cards were the most painful bit?

    Also good news, I also can't stand the AI stuff.

    Hobbiest might. We can be a resourceful bunch!

    I doubt that the developers at big corporations will, though!

    Normal, maybe? Though I'll wind up in the US for a work trip, soon.

    Hopefully you're enjoying all the daylight you've been taking from us.

    Though _not_ having air-conditioning required (where available) weather is a nice change.
