Pieter Levels has successfully created a simulated dot matrix printer integrated with an emulated Windows 3.11 browser environment running via DOSBox. Built over the course of a year with assistance from Claude Code, the project routes printer data from the emulated OS's COM2 port to a virtual green-bar fanfold paper canvas in the browser. Users can test the system by configuring the default printer connection in the Windows Control Panel and printing text files from legacy applications like Notepad.

OpenAI open-sources a repository of Codex plugin examples to package custom skills, integrations, and MCP servers into reusable developer workflows.

The `openai/plugins` repository provides a curated set of Codex plugin examples to streamline the creation of role-specific developer workflows. By structuring plugins with a `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` manifest, developers can package model-readable instructions (skills), application integrations (e.g., Slack, Notion, Remotion, and Figma), and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers into cohesive bundles. These plugins are discoverable via a marketplace format and can be managed directly using the Codex CLI or user interface, enabling agents to execute complex, tool-based tasks.
