Using a £35 Android MP3 Player to Load Spectrum GamesIn this episode, we finally finish the ZX Spectrum restoration! It’s been over 10 years since I last picked up a soldering iron, but today we’re diving back in to perform the Composite Video Mod. Say goodbye to fuzzy RF tuning and hello to a much cleaner signal. We also troubleshoot and fix a pesky green video tint before building out the "Ultimate Spectrum Setup." To make things modern (and reliable), I’m ditching the old tape deck for a £35 Android-powered MP3 player. It’s a game-changer for loading software via the 3.5mm aux port! Stick around to see some classic gameplay, including the infamous DRM of Jet Set Willy and some Horace Goes Skiing.

The rules were simple: One hour on the clock. ⏱️ I am allowed to write prompts. I am NOT allowed to touch the code. The result? We built a surprisingly powerful "Collections Tracker" app that manages inventory, images, and data persistence. Watch to see how the AI handled complex logic and UI design entirely on its own. 📂 Get the Project Code: https://github.com/devwithzachary/VibeCoded-Collections ❤️ Want to support the channel?

Why a 2014 MacBook Air Beats a £300 Chromebook in 2026Is a 12-year-old MacBook actually better than a modern £300 Chromebook? Today on devwithzachary, we’re putting a £70 eBay bargain to the ultimate test. I picked up this MacBook Air (6,2) for less than the price of a night out, wiped macOS, and installed Ubuntu. The goal? To see how it compares to the Samsung Chromebook Go, a machine that RRPs at £300. Despite the age gap, the MacBook has an i7 processor and 8GB of RAM—specs that a modern budget Celeron just can’t touch. We’re looking at build quality, screen resolution, and real-world Linux performance. Geekbench Results: MacBook Air (i7): 642 Single / 2041 Multi https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/15938622 Samsung Chromebook (N4500): 516 Single / 911 Multi https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/15654729 The "Fixes" for MacBook Air Linux Users: If you're following along and the WiFi is acting up: Install the broadcom-sta-dkms package.

(This project broke me.)Today, we’re taking the Mac Mini 1,1 originally shipped with a pathetic Intel Core Solo CPU and only 512MB of RAM—and pushing it to its absolute limits. This wasn’t an easy journey; between firmware flashes, hardware incompatibilities, and literally bleeding for the cause (watch out for those sharp casing edges!), we finally transformed this relic into a "Mac Mini 2,1" powerhouse. The Final Specs: CPU: Upgraded from Core Solo to Intel T7400 Dual Core RAM: Bumped from 512MB to 3GB Storage: Swapped the spinning rust for a High-Speed SSD OS: Successfully running Mac OSX 10.7 Lion A massive thank you to @OldPCGunk for sending this unit over and making this video possible! 🛠️ Resources Used CPU/EFI Flash Guide: https://gist.github.com/adur1990/adf36f947e6261e47ed7d0d36b62bdbe ❤️ Want to support the channel?

For the last four years, I’ve been running a dual-machine workflow using a MacBook Pro M1 and a MacBook Pro M1 Pro in tandem. Today, we’re seeing if the new Apple M4 Max Studio can finally replace both of them. In this video, we unbox the new Studio, dive into the real-world feel of the M4 Max in a developer workflow, and run a series of benchmarks to see exactly how much of a leap this is over the M1 generation. Spoiler alert: The M1 platform was legendary, but the M4 Max is on another level. If you’ve been holding onto your M1 machine waiting for the "right time" to upgrade, that time is officially here. We cover: * Unboxing & First Impressions: The sleekest powerhouse on my desk. * Workflow Integration: How one machine is handling the load of two. * The Benchmarks: Hard data on compile times, rendering, and multitasking. * The "Wait for M5" Argument: Why I’m choosing to upgrade now instead of waiting for what might come next year. If you’re a developer or creative professional still rocking M1-series silicon, this video is for you. ❤️ Want to support the channel?

In this video, we dive deep into the current state of gaming on Apple Silicon. We’re testing the absolute limits of the M4 Max chip across three different methods: Native macOS ports, CrossOver (Wine), and Windows 11 Virtualization via Parallels Desktop. While the hardware is undeniably capable of pushing high frames in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky, the "Mac Gaming" experience remains a mixed bag of incredible highs and frustrating technical hurdles. What we found: Native Gaming: Flawless performance, but the library is still way too small. CrossOver: Great for compatibility, but shaders and minor bugs can ruin the immersion. Parallels: Incredible tech, but the performance overhead on AAA titles is significant. ❤️ Want to support the channel?

This Linux distribution is a love letter to the 1980s, reimagined for modern hardware. In this video, we take a budget friendly Intel N150 Mini PC and transform it into a retro futuristic workstation. We will explore the incredibly polished UI that blends the classic Commodore 64 and Amiga aesthetics with high end modern effects. One of the most unique aspects of this OS is the massive 38GB ISO file. We discuss why it is so huge, mainly because it is built to be an offline first experience packed with pre-installed software, emulators, and assets. Finally, we put the system to the test by playing through some classic Linux games and checking out how the OS handles gaming on this small form factor PC.

After two weeks of using it as my primary travel device alongside my Mac Studio, I have some thoughts. Is it a "budget" laptop, or is it the perfect secondary machine for developers and creatives on the go? In this video, I break down the performance of the A18 Pro chip, how it handles light video editing and gaming, and why the £600 price tag makes it a total bargain despite some obvious pain points. ❤️ Want to support the channel?

The MacBook Neo is Actually a PS2 Emulation Beast. Neo Gaming TestingIs the MacBook Neo a hidden gaming powerhouse or just a productivity machine? Today we are finding out. We start off with a quick thermal pad mod to see if we can squeeze out more performance before diving into the tests. We look at everything from indie gems like Stardew Valley and Minecraft to heavy hitters like Cyberpunk 2077. Spoiler alert: while light titles and some mid tier games run like a dream, trying to play Cyberpunk 2077 at a playable frame rate requires some serious compromises. However, the real star of the show might be emulation. We take a look at PS2 gaming upscaled to 1080p and the results are honestly impressive. Whether you are looking for a portable Minecraft machine or a retro gaming beast, the MacBook Neo has some surprises in store.
