    PowerBook 1xx kickstand / flippy foot

    There's no reason not to have both option if the model is done properly, as I did for the 5xx ones.

    PowerBook 1xx kickstand / flippy foot

    Maybe both soon… Yes that's what I did for the 5xx ones.

    PowerBook 1xx kickstand / flippy foot

    Well I was waiting for a proper filament color but it seems Joe's on it. As for the rubber part, I have a TPU that's close. I'd need to split the model to print the two separately like I did for the 5xx feet.

    Official Tinker Different Poll: Board Size Reduction

    As long as you're feel it's enough and you don't hesitate to ask for help so others can jump in it seems fine to me.

    Starting tech meetups in your own area

    I think there was a talk about spawning your own event, maybe at VCF, not sure… I'd start by looking at related places/events locally: https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/List_of_Hacker_Spaces https://fablabs.io/labs https://www.makery.info/map-labs/ https://www.repaircafe.org/...

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    I see a nice competitor to the C64 laptop :D Oh it seems some of the eyoyo have an RTD266x chip… those supposedly can be patched to support 15kHz RGB input, which I'll want for my ORICs…

    HowTo break apart and glue back plastic welded cases

    Addendum on the Apple bricks (like, for the Portable and early PowerBook models), because I forgot again for the Portable: These are tricky, because, for one, the joint is well hidden, under top part, not under the seam, so the best trajectory is about 45°: And also because it's not fused all...

    Snow EMU - Emulator for 680x0-based Macintosh computers

    So powerful it even emulates an Atari \o/ … Kidding, that's my EmuTOS port to Apple just starting up. Not fond of having to download half of Internet, but I guess that's half less with Rust than with Node… At least now i have an emulator that works (couldn't get it to run on BasiliskII or QEMU).

    HowTo break apart and glue back plastic welded cases

    I've seen quite often people breaking into these plastic cases that are kind of welded together, usually batteries and power bricks, with various tools and mixed cosmetic results. I found a technique that minimizes the damage and allows assembling back the device for reuse. I documented it in a...

    Sony VAIO PCGA-UFD5 servicing (rubber pad, recap)

    So, I bought this USB floppy drive to go along with my VAIO, but it has the melting rubber pads disease… Let's fix it with laser-cut replacements! A note on cleaning and buffing these VAIO plastics: The paint on them is really thin, just rubbing a tissue leaves silver marks on it, so be very...
