Welcome to week two of Trump and Project 2025's Reign of Terror. A convicted felon, a Russian asset, an adjudicated rapist, a chronic cheater, a trust-fund brat with six bankruptcies, and a psychopath displaying clear signs of dementia is dismantling the foundations of American democracy, just as promised—and just as we warned. The cruelty is sending dangerous shockwaves across the globe. With each passing day under this regime, the nightmare grows darker.   But here on Gaslit Nation, we're fighting back. Truth is on our side, and our collective liberation and survival depend on our unity and resolve. Together, we can resist, rebuild, and reclaim the future. This week, we're joined by Terrell Starr of the Black Diplomats Podcast and Substack, reporting from Kyiv, Ukraine. He shares his insights on how people around the world can navigate these perilous times, and offers ways forward for the opposition here at home.   In this week's bonus show—available to our Truth-teller subscribers ($5/month and above)—we tackle a difficult and necessary conversation: how the Left can unite despite lingering resentments over the 2024 election, including the question of who refused to vote and why. Gaza will cease to exist under Trump. Under President Kamala Harris, we stood a stronger chance to shift the status quo on Israel and Palestine. We warned that the moral imperative was to vote for the lesser evil to avoid the total evil now being unleashed on the world.   Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Breve puntata realizzata in occasione di un video per il canale Survival Hacking di Davide Gatti dove con la scusa di una riparazione di una console Videopac il nostro Carlo Santagostino ce ne illustra brevemente la storia. Il Videopac era una console per videogiochi commercializzata dalla Philips a partire dal 1978.Videopac era il nome per il mercato europeo della console Magnavox Odyssey² prodotta per contrastare le allora appena uscite console con cartucce ROM intercambiabili come Fairchild Channel F e Atari 2600. Una storia interessante per la terza più diffusa console al mondo di quel periodo pioneristico posto tra la fine degli anni settanta e i primissimi anni ottanta dove nasceva e si definiva il neonato mercato videoludico.Non mi resta che augurarvi BUON ASCOLTO e mi raccomando seguiteci su tutti i nostri canali!Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/archeologia-informatica--1679776/support.

You wanna retro that by me again? The shot heard ’round the Odyssey2/Videopac world. Is someone seriously trying to bring this hardware platform into the present, or allowing it to stubbornly stick to the past? There are so many questions yet to be answered…and this edition of the show is asking them. (21:48) Right-click and […]

Clothes maketh the game: The black background. The vanishing point logo with its very, very seventies font. The Helvetica lettering. Could anything ever replace the classic look of vintage Odyssey2 packaging? Should anyone even try to come up with a new look? Hear from someone who tried, but apparently didn’t stick the landing. (10:25) Right-click […]

Anyone wanna make games for this machine? Third-party games were – and remain – a real rarity for the Odyssey2 and Videopac. But who, aside from Parker Brothers and Imagic, should’ve stepped up to the plate?

In this episode of the Kitchen Design Essentials Season, Frances has guest Rob Sinclair, Managing Director of E&S Trading on the show to discuss buying criteria and performance for kitchen appliances. This episode focuses on Fridges,  Dishwashers and Ovens and Rob’s passion for appliances and buying with performance in mind, is wonderful to listen to. Join Frances as she chats with Rob and hears his amazing advice and knowledge on these key appliances for your kitchen.   Key Buying Criteria When Choosing your Kitchen Appliances Understand your requirements - Understand your needs and requirements at home and then find an appliance that is going to deliver you the performance to the best of your budget. Pedigree of Performance- Performance is crucial so find brands that have pedigree of performance or brands that specialise in a particular appliance. Look at product service and ability to get parts and be fixed, after the sale Reliability   Fridges Buying Criteria Seek out quality brands- i.e Westinghouse, Fisher Paykel, Mitsubishi, Liebherr and Miele Great refrigeration performance- good quality, temperature control and temperature settings Food storage benefit- Freezer Vs Fresh Food Consider how an integrated fridge compliments the overall aesthetic, and may be crucial in smaller kitchens Has great after sale service and accessibility to spare parts Cost- Freestanding fridge costs between $1,600 to $2,000, while a fully integrated version costs between $4,500-$5,000.   Integrated Fridges Integrated fridges can be expensive because of their unique style and coming from a specialty manufacturer. Integrated fridges can be easily replaced particularly Liebherr and Fisher Paykel,. as their fridge measurements have remained consistent over the years. Fisher Paykel- Cost effective, bigger cabinet for an integrated refrigerator. Cost up to $4,500 Liebherr- German manufactured and a high-end integrated fridge, usually starts at $7,000 New features and technology coming out in fridges now – what can we expect Samsung- It has a limited availability of spare parts which can prevent the product getting fixed. Fisher Paykel- gives more rack positions inside the fresh food compartments Humidity control and compartments for preservation of fresh food   Dishwashers Buying criteria Choose a dishwasher that suits your needs Stackability- Understand what it is you are putting in (i.e wineglasses, baking dishes, coffee cups and glasses, large plates, bigger colanders) Organising – a Cutlery tray takes time, but it allows you to separate the cutlery out to wash them perfectly.  You can unload them faster out of the dishwasher too. Wash performance Drying Noise – machines that are getting beneath 50 decibels are what you need to look for. Flexibility – options to stack what is needed for that wash cycle Size - extra large dishwashers- ideal for families who loves to entertain and cook regularly Brands Brands that have a pedigree in making great quality dishwashers Bosch (Siemens, NEFF and Gaggenau)- Global player in manufacturing They provide a different aesthetic across the range Miele – has great stacking flexibility Asko – reliable and quiet AEG - released the new ComfortLift dishwasher. If bending down to load and unload your dishes is a chore, the AEG ComfortLift has a lower basket that slides out and upwards.   Integrated, semi-integrated and freestanding Integrated - Fits into the style of the rest of your kitchen cabinets in a seamless fashion. Price range is between $1,000- $3,000 Semi Integrated- Has a control panel at the top and an integrated door beneath it. Price range is between $1,500- $2,000 Free standing- An affordable option. You may be able to buy a Bosch freestanding dishwater at $800-$800 New Release Miele’s G7000 dishwashers includes a circular pocket that holds and dispenses dishwashing  detergent automatically. Less detergent to use Environmental-friendly Great wash performance 450mm Dishwasher Space saver which is ideal for apartments or smaller homes Can be less cost effective from around $1,400 Brand: Miele, Bosch and NEFF Not as popular in Australia due to the cost Ovens Buying Criteria Lifestyle Requirement- Are you a big cook? Do you love to entertain? How do you want to ideally be able to bake? Performance If the budget allows - self-cleaning Oven Capacity- Do you need two 600mm or 900mm wide Good Accessories that comes with the brand- i.e biscuit trays or baking dishes – they are made to fit the appliance perfectly Upright oven 900mm wide giving you a bigger oven capacity and cooking surface Cost effective- Ranges between $2,000- $5,000 Aesthetically pleasing Depends also on aesthetic of kitchen. Can look more commercial in style. Recommended brands: Westinghouse, Smeg, ILVE, Fisher Paykel and Falcon Wall Ovens Gives more flexibility- you can choose steamers, microwaves or a combination of both for the oven. Having 2 ovens allows you to cook multiple dishes at once eg, dessert and main Integrated Ovens (built-in) Depending on the manufacturer, you can get an integrated ovens in 700, 800 and 900 cm wide. Steam Ovens Perfect for cooking vegetables, fish, and chicken fillets Costs - around $2,000 Its large capacity enables it to be very gentle in the way it steams. Gives so much flexibility in the kitchen- combination of steam, roast, steam roast or bake bread The ability to control the style of cooking you want Gas Ovens The old models ovens doesn’t have a fan so you need to regulate the temperature Ideal for bakers Depends on what you are use to. Still popular. Smaller Inside Vs Bigger Cavity Manufacturer are catering to all types of cooking around the globe. They also make sure that the temperature in the bottom, middle and top shelf is all the same.   Available Resources BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN DESIGN MADE EASY ONLINE COURSE Ready to design and create your own beautiful kitchen?

In this jumbo-sized, spaced-out, and ever-so-slightly self-indulgent episode, your host mulls over a future that never was, running from space crabs as a family pastime, plays a duet between two numbered game consoles, and makes an announcement at the end. Also, somewhere in here, Alien Invaders – Plus! and UFO! are played. […]

Exciting Second Episode! There’s more to life (and the Odyssey2) than racing cars and scrambling words. Listener mail is read, Moonbase Alpha is visited, and Baseball! and Computer Golf! are played.

Gareth and Matt enjoy a warm and fuzzy recollection of days gone by in this the third installment of the Retro Tech Addicts podcast. This day in the past First two Video Games Copyrighted Speak And Spell The favourite phone?Matt: Touch Pro2 Gareth: Google Nexus One My first Mame cabinet Matt: His cabinet Gareth: :( Listeners: Hi MTA Team, I have been listening to the podcast for many episodes, I started listening when Chris A was co-host with Gareth, and I've pretty much listened to all the episodes to about 180,  and now listening to the latest ones as they come out. I like the retro show too, as I have a long standing interest in home computers from the 70s / 80s, LED calculators and pretty much anything Sinclair related. Nice to see someone remembers the G7000 line of machines, as it wasn't a terribly popular machine. Fully agree with the comments about the CBM Plus4, a shocking machine. I have around ~200 machines, and the list of stuff I have is below, as Gareth was interested. I have multiples of some machines, like the BBC, where I obtained a whole BBC network of around 10 machines in one hit, from a skip.     @gareth : I have several boxed G7000s plus maybe some unboxed, a couple of G7200s, at least one G7400 and the chess computer. I also have around 40 games, including the 3 marvellous board games they did. They are a work of art. The later games have an enhanced mode, denoted by a '+', which when run on a G7400, give slightly better graphics. These are pretty difficult to find, and the higher the number the rarer. The G7200 was never sold in this country, to my knowledge, and the two I have came from Holland and France. You discussed the Odyssey, and you are correct that the O^2 was the G7000. There was an original Odyssey sold in the UK, not just the states, from around '73, which is near impossible to find (and I don't have one).   Keep up the good work, both for the Retro and Mobile shows.
