The YouTube channel The Index Page asks the question "Can you use old batteries?". It turns out the chap on the video found some Ever Ready Silver Seal batteries manufactured in 1989 still sealed and wondered if after all these years if they would hold any charge.

Brought back some fond memories of using them in my Alba personal stereo back in the day, I much preferred them to the "Blue Seal" batteries which I found would often leak.

I won't spoil the video, it's only a few minutes and was a bit of a nostalgia hit for me 😀

You can find the 4 minute video here.

Just spotted this on Toms Hardware, a developer has got Linux (more specifically uC Linux) running on a Jaguar.

From what I can tell it's pretty basic but still kinda cool.

Not sure about the mention of the Saturn in the article though, the author mentions other consoles that used a 68000 and suggested that the Saturn uses a 68000 and two "co-processors". I was under the impression the SH2s are the main Saturn CPUs and the 68000 is a supplementary CPU for audio right?
