MAY 31, 2023 - OLD DESIGNSPARK MECHANICAL VERSIONS WILL BE SWITCHED OFF!

It was only 3 years old to start with. Why force people to update all the time

I'm now imagining the Six Million Dollar man having his legs on subscription to get the latest enhancements lol

More glad than ever to have an Atari ST!

Yeah he can't walk anymore because his subscription ran out.

Louis was on about games and subscriptions recently as well. Like the ST, 30 years later I can put a floppy in and play games from 30 years ago.

Think problem these days is the "I want" generation where they want the latest all the time. They don't seem to care they paid money for stuff they can't use anymore.

Exactly.

I don't blame people for wanting stuff.

I think it's obvious that the "Reset" agenda is in motion, where you basically rent everything. Nothing bought outright. The subscription model is very cynical.

One day the only way to get a baby will be in a lab and if you can't pay your subscription... Life is imitating black mirror.

They will come for our Ataris because they are non-subscription based.

You sure about that? It says, "and provided the correct account name and password". Allowing for slightly different Chinese text, and translation, this looks pretty much like a normal Steam Guard email.

I think you should change your password.

My steem password was one which as leaked somehow years ago. Might have been when MySpace got hacked. I've already change the password anyway.

My test adapter boards ready in my checkout now

Probably does not make a lot of sense as they are now. But they had to be double stacked boards because of adapting a PLCC "plug" to a PLCC ZIF

So I'm soooooo pi$$ed off with not being able to solder stuff myself anymore that I am seriously considering getting a soldering machine!

Considering the costs of paying my mate to solder stuff and getting China to solder stuff.. I could have brought one of these several times over by now!

I have considered these things before but it was just easier for China to completely assemble things. With all the expenses in shipping and import and export costs as well..

I really could do with one which is more PC controlled though to speed up setup times of the things. But I bet they are even more expensive
