    Anyone else a huge fan of the Alien franchise?

    Alien = First movie to give me nightmares after watching on VHS (in ~1988 at age 11). The gritty realism made it connect at a level very different level from the Star Trek world I had grown to love, which didn’t go ”there”. Aliens = OMG WTF was that! James Cameron’s epic bowled me and friends...

    BlueSCSI Issue With Performa

    I just tried my BlueSCSI v2 external DB-25 with my Performa 6360 and it worked fine. Absolutely could be another issue uncovered by the above mentioned troubleshooting steps but are you sure you have v2? I only ask because I was never able to get my BlueSCSI v1 external DB-25 to work with that...

    Radius Rocket & Radius Thunder 24/GT compatible?

    I wonder if those limits only apply when using the original spec IIci power supply and if you have a newer, higher rated one you might have more power that the Nubus slots could use. The same power supply form factor was used in the IIcx, IIci, IIvx, Q700, C/Q650 and PM7100 with the later ones...

    Replacing electrolytic caps with ceramic ones

    I used non-polarized ceramic caps when I did my PowerBook 150 and Duo 230 LCDs, both are working fine: 3.3µF - 35V - SMT - MLCC - Mouser 810-C3216X7R1V335M6A However, before I knew about that option I did use these tantalums when I did my PowerBook 100 LCD, which work just as well: 3.3µF -...

    3D printed 2.5" HD bracket for CF2IDE

    I recently picked back up on this, sparked in no small part by getting a 3D printer for Christmas (a Bambu Labs A1 mini). This lead me to go with option A and learn some 3D modeling, starting with how to tweak existing models somewhat using FreeCAD and YouTube tutorials. I decided to modify...

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    As I'm the one who asked, thanks very much for posting this. I do agree with others (like @JDW I think?) that it is important that a wide net is cast to get feedback on this issue and I had incorrectly guessed that this reach out to Tinker different Discord users may not have been done in a...

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    I appreciate your explanation of your intention but I think it's important to let people know how they are coming across to others in their communications regardless. The mutual poking fun you refer to seems quite passive aggressive in my opinion. Of course this is only my opinion so I certainly...

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    Nor mine. No doubt there have been serious data loss issues over the years at 68kMLA but there are a lot of folks that participate there (and not here) with extensive knowledge that I find helpful. Likewise I'm also here because the reverse is also true. I do think it might be a good idea to...

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    Where I'm from this sounds a bit like someone who says "Bless your heart" when they mean the opposite, please don't make a joke of legitimate efforts to keep a thread on topic. Those of us commenting on some things being off topic and best suited for a new thread in the feedback thread have just...

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    If your intention was to ask/post about the question of "Extending the term length of the board" on discord then I get what you are saying. I haven't looked to see if anyone has done that (guessing not). I definitely get your point about about Thinker Different Discord syphoning off...

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    I voted for longer terms (up to 3 years) but I do think it is really important that the terms for the board positions are not aligned/co-termed. It may make it harder to transition to but the benefit of overlapping terms seems clear to me when it comes to transition and knowledge transfer. I...

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    I don't necessarily disagree but isn't this a truly separate issue from the "Extending the term length of the board" topic of this thread? Perhaps a new thread under Feedback?

    Tunnel vision on PB170

    This stuff is my favorite super glue specifically meant for plastics: SureHold Plastic Surgery® Super Glue https://surehold.com/adhesives/plastic-surgery/ Where possible I also like to reinforce with epoxy (JB Weld).

    Removal of Tinker Different Vendor section

    Okay, but then why? Having a regulated Vendor area was supposed to be a plus for this forum/community, right? Is there anything to be said about the "unforeseen circumstances"?

    Removal of Tinker Different Vendor section

    Um... pretty nebulous statement. What is this about? Tinker Different being sued or something?
