They have a hub in the EU
I thought that was a hub for shipping. So units from EU hub will not have potential US tariff added?

Five! Dorrars! PCB stands for Perifractic's Chinese Business?
tomcat: keep your racist shit in your in ass and get the fuck out of here.
The above comment is a textbook example of how a demented mind works. Let's see rez's logic:
1. The manufacturing of certain electronics is discussed
2. It is suggested that said electronics is probably made in China
3. A very obvious wordplay is made on a recurring element of a related YouTube show
4. Demented mind recognizes the words "Chinese" and the name "tomcat"
5. Neuron activation
6. Demented mind is outraged! RACISM DETECTED!!
There is nothing racist in anything I said. You are simply unable to overcome your mental conditioning. On the other hand, I don't think China needs you as their personal bodyguard.

The above comment is a textbook example of how a paranoid mind works. :]
"I have depicted you as the demented mind and myself as the rational mind. Better luck next time!"
I am not paranoid. But of course, feel free rushing to your comrade's aid. Just pull down this thread like others, and be proud of yourself.
This was a perfectly fine conversation, but nooo, you had to bring your activism here, and begin screaming and cussing about racism, because everything must be about you. And of course, it has to be you who call out, who step in, who raise the issue! You, the defender of everything sacred!
This topic is about Perifractic's Commodore acquisition. If you wish to cry about social issues, go somewhere else. If you have a problem with me, come to me. In person. And now, back to our regular programming, please.

dude youre a like a idiot dog jumping after every stick which someone has thrown.
it would be more wise to just ignore it.

So... based on the specs, would this C64 Ultimate be good enough device for running old and new C64 demos?
Outside all the demo scene's nonsense-socialism vs. various definitions of radicalism, which is why "The demo scene has every reason to join." is not that obvious at all.
Pouet is by definition one of the last places to expect meaningful conversation about any topic right after 1st page. Too many millennials dominating and crying out about the world not being as they were told to become.
But anyway, it was the same with x-16 commander when David Murray and Kevin Williams tried to attract demo scene to the project... they were asked to get the fuck out as they came with "wrong manners..." and then they found out their own community, go on just fine and even have their own self-developed Second Reality port.
I'm personally curious and following new announcements related to that acquisition. I have all sort of retro machines already at home like if I was running a museum and less time than ever to enjoy any single of them, thus I'm more conservative about buying, yet.

I think its as close as it gets atleast. Really excited about this whole thing. Hope the new Commodore will succeed and bring out some fun things and toys :)
PCB stands for Perifractic Commodore Boss....doesn't it?
Maybe off-topic, maybe not, but the ZX Spectrum also just got a modern overhaul, the Sprinter. It is to the Speccy what the Ultimate is to the C-64. It's based on earlier Russian Spectrum successors like the Scorpion or the Pentagon 128. I just tried one at CC, and it's really amazing. If any of you are into the Spectrum too, it's worth checking out.
Have you tried a PC with Nvidia RTX 5090, It's a modern overhaul of a classic IBM PC, based on the 3D accelerators and 166 MHz pentium processors of the 1990s. I just tried one at friend's place and it's really amazing. If any of you are into masturbation and constantly upgrading your platform, it's worth checking out.

This is going to be fun! Can we has MorphOS ported to dem Commodore calculators?
Seems commodore.net is the true official website of the new C= company.
Personally, I find it very confusing and irritating that there are so many other Commodore websites that claim to be C=, but aren't.
These domains should first go to the real New C=...

Imagine there are brand scavenger 1, brand scavenger 2, ..., to brand scavenger N.
Now a new contender enters: Brand scavenger N+1.
Naturally, this won't go unnoticed by brand scavengers 1 to N.

1) This Italian Commodore inc. seems like pure grift to me
2) This, all this grift and obstruction is exactly why China will leave the collective West in the dust
3) Conflating all those grift C= companies with the merry lot Peri put together, even getting kick out of it, reveals the one doing the conflating to be a spiteful wretch

Oh by the way this crap is from Luigi Simonetti CEO of that “Commodore Inc.”:
God. You can’t make that shit up. Aparently we were all totally oblivious to the facts that (a)Steve Jobs designed “Chip MOS” and (b) Bill Gates made the “PET operating system”. Jesus f*cking Christ. Here, see for yourselves: https://commodore.inc/about/

The adventure of modern computing, now fundamental in our lives, started from the Commodore offices, and also features very illustrious names, destined to change the history of humanity, such as a very young Steve Jobs, designer of the Chip MOS and Bill Gates who worked on programming the PET operating system.

Maybe Ned Flanders need to hire some lawyers, to get rid of the fake Commodore companies!?
Haha yes, that seems to be the order of the day: get rid of engineers and designers, fill your ranks with lawyers. For everything else, there’s AI. Ah well, who cares how many of them there are as long as they don’t engage in heavy mutual obstruction. I know which one I’m gonna be calling “Commodore”.

Quote:So you guys will all line up when he will start collecting money for the deal?
I think this was already done. Watch his YouTube channel.
And keep watching for more milking of the monkey. I predict 10 or so videos featuring "we" did it.
Months into the same announcement over and over from this guy, the brand holder fighting others in court taking over the brand (in Italy, etc) hasn't taken down his FB page or announced anything.
But you can pre-order the same products that have been around for years, in this guy's webstore. Now. Now it's available! And it's the real Commodore. Now!
(And it will be Now! for the months to come.)
*Hey, look at me! I want attention!* (ensue vids with guy talking to camera for 10-20 minutes).
I gotta admit that I can’t understand this level of negativity. It’s like some people want this endeavor to fail, want for people to get ripped off. Why? Because the guy annoys you?
This for example
is a blatant lie.

I'm impressed by their efforts. Their work has been very effective in generating positive public relations for the Commodore brand, and I hope they find commercial success.
