Hobbyscoop: 1980s broadcast testing your stereo equipment – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/14

The 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s had the cool Dutch Hobbyscoop broadcast about anything technical related to audio/radio/computing.

One of their broadcasts got preserved at [Wayback/Archive] Hobbyskoop – YouTube.

A cool inclusion thing is that the main presenter for almost two decades was a woman named Ingrid Drissen who is still alive and still makes great presentations including ones about tech and science.

The were the initiator of Basicode, a crossplatform way for many 1970s and 1980s computers to save, load and broadcast BASIC programs over audio via FM and AM radio sometimes nicked an Esperanto for computers.

Na migratie van XS4ALL naar KPN zijn al je telefoon-doorschakelingen weg: hoe dit te herstellen (spoiler: de on-line aanwijzingen kloppen niet)

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/02

In het kader van “kunnen dingen bij ons nooit eens normaal gaan?” het korte antwoord: nee.

Voorbeeld:

Voor de migratie van XS4ALL naar KPN hadden diverse telefoondoorschakelingen in gebruik (met name vertraagd doorschakelen: individuele nummers in ons huishouden gingen vertraagd door naar de bijbehorende mobiele nummers).

Na de migratie waren die allemaal weg. Het duurde even voor we daarachter waren omdat sinds de corona-periode vrijwel altijd iemand thuis is.

Kort en goed: we kamen er dus achter toen er niemand thuis was en we een opmerking kregen onbereikbaar te zijn (door iemand die ons mobiele nummer niet had).

Herstellen was ingewikkelder dan bedacht, want als je deze voor de hand liggende stappen van XS4ALL en KPN volgt kom je met een kluitje in het riet terecht:

Ziggo gooit ook analoog FM-signaal eruit: Televisie kijken zonder traditioneel abonnement? Dit zijn de opties – Kassa – BNNVARA

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/03/30

For my link archive as Ziggo is ditching the analog FM-signal rendering many devices inoperable in order to boost internet connectivity with a whopping 20 Mhz.

Switching to new hardware might as well give a much cheaper solution without Ziggo (need to check out at least NLZiet).

I wonder if Ziggo will really switch of the complete cable signal when ditching them, as I hear mixed information about that:
