    Exactly -- for the ASQ10 in my eBay history, it was https://www.ebay.com/itm/203144466152 Honestly, I'd probably just pay the premium and buy a kit if I did it today. I did this du…

    Agreed -- the price contrast between the unit itself and the component replacements and upgrades is a turn-off, however going into a ~30 year vintage pro audio sampler thinking it …

    They are cheap to find -- on Yahoo Auctions Japan I got an s3000xl for ~$80 since the 8-out works in the MPC2k/xl and go for as much as ~$400 alone. But that doesn't mean anything …

    I did a backlight replacement on a S3000XL, a LCD replacement on S900, and found a cheap ($25?) LCD replacement for ASQ10 (same as MPC60/MPC3000). Jazzcat + Ebay sell expensive rep…

    Does githubnext.com read as a phishing-adjacent third party to anyone else? Why not deploy as next.github.com subdomain?

    I've always loved how simple adding to sqlite is in Tcl: db function regexp {regexp --}

    /r/tcl has a similar problem -- rare topical posts and frequent TV support questions.

    NextBSD ("FreeBSD X") operates in a similar space and was also looking promising, but it looks like development stopped. In that approach, the BSD kernel was extended to support so…

    I feel like this hits Tcl's use case pretty well, too. Old but not forgotten.

    Emacs natives should know "C-x * *". Worth learning the bin/hex support with "d 2", "d 6".

    2x HP LP2475w. They are 1920x1200 / 16:10 IPS panels with pivot/tilt/rotate stands and a bunch of inputs.. They're a bit old, but look great and can find them used for ~$150.
