My issue with AI in the retro community specifically is that we don't need to talk to each other to get things done. It was lots of fun figuring things out together, getting to know each other as we go. Nowadays it's a stream of fait accompli "I made a thing!" posts. Feels passive, like watching TV.

Ok. I am gutted and really sorry to say that the servers are all gone. Over 1600 members on RHD and some lowlife deleted it forever with a click. Also stole a bunch of money from my account. I will make an update video and post that here when I get home. Whatever happens we are going to rebuild.

Some of the challenges for the Zorkulator are much more mechanical. Here I've 3D printed a sheet metal bending tool designed to make a small lip for the battery tray. This'll let me insert and extract batteries without needing an enormous hole in the Zorkulator case.
