    Reworking my computer area (daily driver + retro)

    That is a proper mess although cable management is a very satisfying feat. Look forward to seeing your solution.

    It is entirely within reason to request seeing the merchandise being funded prior to hitting the donation button. Let’s see those shirt designs, pricing matrix (Ie: cost/GM%), materials, delivery eta etc. If they’re coming from Germany, any chance of rolling up some beer in the middle? 🍻 or...

    While it seems the original idea was a forum that encompassed to a degree all tinkering whether it be with pcbs and ics or wood or cars or food (ie: tinker-y people) etc, it is pretty obvious that the only significant group invested in this forum and who stick around are computer enthusiasts -...

    Ahh, the age old chicken or the egg paradox. Hierarchical philosophical entertainment at its finest. Like others here, I utilize "whats new>uncheck show only unread" for new discussion. For historical data, I navigate to the appropriate forum or run a search.

    Dumpster diving is fun

    One man’s trash is another’s treasure. Would love to have run into that pickup. My first vintage Mac was a quicksilver I picked up back in 2014 from someone’s Sunday trash pile. Worked then and works now. Runs Q3A like a champ. Nice pickup!

    USPS Maimed the G3 Minitower I Ordered on eBay; Questions about Testing/Repair

    I agree this looks repairable to me. In addition to supergluing the bits together, a couple layers of epoxy on the interior seam of the glued crack will help to keep them secure. This has always worked well for me on repairs where the plastic will not see any flexing ie: side panels, face plates...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Got the uppers hung & I realized quickly how not square the kitchen soffit is when trying to hang square cabinetry in it lol. Anyhow got it done. It has been an absolute struggle to get the butcher block counter wood in. Paid for but the supply chain for it is all screwed up and has taken...

    Introducing the Racer Cinema Productions Intel Swamp Years Challenge! (A yearly challenge to use early Intel Macs for most everyday modern tasks)

    Dos Dude's discord lite works well on vintage macintosh. I run it on my Leopard PowerPC macs daily. Per his github, it works on old and modern macs alike, although admitingly I have utilized his app to bring discord to my PPC macs only, so nothing Intel at this point as my earliest late 2008...

    Sounds like a fun time but am around 2000 miles away so will miss it. Hopefully some of the hamfests closer to me open back up post-Covid. Have fun.

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Finished boxing in the dumbwaiter & building the sheet pan box, installed the new trim, toe kick and had the new fridge show up. Getting the fridge in was a pita to get up the back stairs (this home is a 1970s split level design w/ three levels and the kitchen is in the middle up about 10...

    MIDI in DOOM - Roland SC88-ST vs Kawai XC-3 vs Sound Blaster Pro

    Ahh man that was hard. I can definitely tell you that I enjoyed the the SB clone because of its almost square-wave-esque mid-punch quality. It just sounded really neat in comparison to the others. Of the other two ... I think the Roland as the audio out was very flat in response. There doesnt...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    So I started framing in the bottom cabinets, taking care to keep that front edge plumb for the counter top. That dumb waiter was a PITA lol. Despite shimming up the new subfloor, it still has a shift down along the interior wall. The home itself is just shy of 50 years old, and has settled...

    What is this accessory stuck to my iMac G3?

    My guess is some sort of privacy shield.
