AI assistant for Amiga development: "Amiga Guru"
Cameron Armstrong, author of the chat program AmigaGPT (amiga-news.de reported), has created a custom GPT based on the Amiga documentation so that it is much more accurate for Amiga development than the standard ChatGPT.
Since ChatGPT sometimes knows quite little about Amiga development (and therefore often gives wrong, albeit convincing, answers), he has created a custom GPT tailored to Amiga development.
It has been trained on the entire contents of all current editions of the official reference manuals, some third-party Amiga development books and all current documentation autodocs for AmigaOS 3.2 and 4.1.
Chatting with custom GPTs requires a ChatGPT Plus subscription.

Web browser: AmiFox 0.6
AmiFox, first released a year ago, displays modern web pages on an Amiga or under AROS by downloading and displaying the pages converted to images by a web rendering proxy ("AmiFox server").
New features of version 0.6 include the ability to set the preferred language so that Google and other sites do not always appear in Finnish (the public AmiFox server is located in Finland), and a history of the websites visited.

DIY: "Joystick Reanimator" repairs micro switches using electric impulses
C64 fan 'GI-Joe' - a service technician in real life - has come across many faulty microswitches in his professional life. The silver-plated switching contacts of switches that only have to switch very low currents were often oxidized: the arcing that occurs at higher currents, which "cleans" the oxidizing contacts in a kind of self-cleaning function, does not occur at lower currents. Sooner or later, the electrical resistances become too high due to the oxidizing switching contacts, even though the switch switches mechanically perfectly.

TCP networking on Kickstart 1.3: AmigaNOS tutorial
KA9Q aka "NOS" is an early TCP stack designed for Packet Radio or computers with serial connections. The existing Amiga port is compatible with Kickstart 1.3 and supports both SLIP as well as PPP.
In his tutorial, 'neongod' describes - in authentic 90's internet visual design - how he installed and configured AmigaNOS on his Amiga 500 and networked it to a Raspberry Pi using a serial cable.

Coders wanted for an AGA remake of Cryos 'Dune'
Graphic designer 'barjack' is designing a remake of Cryo's classic adventure Dune for AGA based Amiga computers. The new version will preserve the original story, but expand it with new locations, characters and storylines. On top of that it is intended to look a lot better, given that it targets AGA and uses the full PAL resolution - a few example illustrations are supposed to showcase the improved visuals:
