There are plates with labels and information but they’re small, easy to miss, and not for all items. But the venue is still relatively young and more work is underway.
What’s even more remarkable is 95% of the items on display still work. And they have lots more in storage.
They are car enthusiasts too, so that’s why there are some such vehicles. The bulk of the material comes from the personal collection of one of the founders of the group.
While I don’t downvote posts with emojis I’m most interested in reading tech content, where emojis feel redundant and distracting.
VokoscreenNG is a screencasting tool that works with Raspberry Pi OS, I tested it on my Pi 400. And it’s also easy to install, just sudo apt install vokoscreen-ng gstreamer1.0-pipewire

I’ve updated the post.
Looks nice indeed, thanks.
Interesting suggestion but possibly overkill.
Text searches (e.g. page search in browsers) that do return results, but they don’t show up anywhere on the screen or aren’t highlighted.
Although I did see some punch cards I never used them. At the time I couldn’t afford a computer with punch cards and was too young and inexperienced to work for an organization that had such machines.
Old fart Boomer here, my first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
Reading computer magazines and books, and eagerly anticipating getting my hands on such material. Today’s kids born in an online era of infinite content just can’t imagine how difficult it was back them to get technical publications and information, printed or otherwise.
Zutty, the Zero-cost Unicode Teletype which the developer describes as “A high-end terminal for low-end systems”.
Possibly.
So why not make the washing cycle end when the water has fully drained? I get the impression the timer starts after the drain.
I maintain a list of the tech and creator newsletters I subscribe to.
My favorite is chromeOS because it requires zero maintenance and I can access all my data, apps, and preferences in minutes on any compatible device by just signing into my account.
Lisp.
It just feels extremely natural to me, so it’s difficult to pinpoint specific features I like. But two such features stand out: the parantheses-based syntax and the extreme interactivity.
I initially got a Z80-MBC2, a Z80-based SBC that runs CP/M and other operating systems, as I had developed an Intel 8080 cross assembler and wanted to run on actual hardware the code assembled with it. It was so fun I got a V20-MBC, an SBC by the same maker that features a Nec V20 (8088 + 8080) and can run CP/M-86.
Both SBCs led me down a fascinating retrocomputing rabbit hole.
That explains why support agents beg for the highest rating.
I left Reddit in early 2022 and never looked back.
You’re welcome, enjoy.
