@Kai Robinson Even the first generation Apple TV used an Intel Pentium M processor, not PowerPC. As Sorbet Leopard is exclusively focused on the PowerPC platform, there are no plans now nor in the near future to extend support to Intel devices. However, one could still copy the Utility Scripts...

I also think there are too many categories that are sometimes confusing / contradictory in nature. And at first glance, the sub-forum organization also feels much more catered towards 68k-based machines to an unbalanced degree. Here's my solution that hopefully appeals to both crowds of...

@KODA || Amber / Loveshock InterWebPPC / TenFourFox removed support for plugins a long time ago, and for some strange reason WebKit refuses to display external plugins as well. I recommend using Safari 5 (not WebKit) for plugin purposes / use with reFlash, which has worked every time in my...

@Bolkonskij It's nice to know that at least two people still enjoy reFlash. As you know, I also visit Cornica semi-regularly, and plan to make at least one more contribution compilation to its already expansive video library. :) Needless to say, I'm very glad sites like ours exist for people...

I can explain this one ... Sorbet Leopard uses a custom derivative of the March 2021 MVPS Hosts and foxPEP 2.2 Bloat Trimming Engine ad / tracking / fingerprinting domain blocklists as a base for the system-wide ad blocking feature (enabled by default), and is an instrumental reason as to why...

@fehervaria I'd be interested to see how InterWebPPC runs once the TenFourFoxPEP preferences patch has been applied - which was one of my prior projects before Sorbet Leopard. Post-patch, let me know how its performance compares to WebKit 604. Failing that, AquaWeb micro (another project of...

For me, it would have to be the ATi Radeon 9700. I wasn't around when it first launched, but I've got some fond memories of finding a great deal on eBay for a 9700 TX (Dell's branding of the Non-Pro) during late 2019, just before everything went south the following year. Originally, that went...

Really cool post; thanks for writing it up. Back in April, I bought a 4th Gen Classic for its superior sound quality over almost all the others and relative cheapness to the 5th Gen, and since its battery held a charge well, all it needed was an SSD. Once that was in and everything was synced...

Back in the day, SGI actually parodied their own hardware: In hindsight, they were in many ways a strange company, especially in regards to their marketing and public relations tactics. But I think that's one of the things that made them so great though. - Should I ever found a corporate...

@Certificate of Excellence Thanks again for the heads-up, CoE! I've been watching TinkerDifferent since it first launched, and I think there's definitely a lot of promise here. Namely, I like the fact that it's heavily forum-focused and caters purely to the vintage computing crowd; aside from...
