Colleague David Lee is really into retro. So much so that he programmes a game on the C64. He is a guest on the podcast and also tells us something about the Oxocard.

Programming a game is not easy. Programming a game on a system that is over 40 years old is damn hard. David seems to have a masochistic disposition, because he has dabbled in programming with Basic on the C64. He tells us where his project stands and why it won't have any music in the background. He also tested the Oxocard: a Swiss product for young people who want to get started with programming.

The new Macbook Pro with M2 Pro and M2 Max processors are ideal for programming. Samuel has tested the devices and asks himself: Why do I need so much power anyway? Jeremy Clarkson, who toils away on the farm in the new season of his series "Clarkson's Farm", also needs power. Domagoj also founded a farm, but only virtually in the historical yakuza spin-off "Like A Dragon: Ishin". Finally, we discuss the fifth episode of "The Last Of Us" in the spoilercast.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
