@Branchus I noticed the light theme doesn't have a forum collapsing widget like dark mode does. Can you add that in?

In case someone happens to stumble on this thread and also has this setup, I found that the devices can be connected with a regular RJ11 telephone cable. Set the HCT-1000 to MRS mode and the preheater will function automatically based on the program settings of the hot air station. Just push the...

I share your love of ugly / weird keyboards. I'm hoping to some day find one of these.

This week I picked up a pair of 7500 and G3 desktops with a lovely Radius PrecisionColor 17" CRT. These awesome big boxes ended up being included. I especially love the wacky Prince of Persia NFR box. This is a great article covering the history of the weird shape game boxes.

My watch had something on it I didn't want online. I wish I would have noticed and taken it off. It was such a pain to blur out on an otherwise off-the-cuff mediocre video. Maybe I'll make a nicer review once I spend some more time with it. I also ran my 858D >400ºC and just figured it wasn't...

I asked the auction manager what was up with the installed logic board being a shipping version and the one photographed being proto...

I found some vacuum cups for it. I’m having so much fun booping chips!

It'd be nice to prefix watched forums with their parent's name. Like.. The Lab: Soldering and Repair Approved Vendors: Maceffects Trading Post: North America There are so many forums, that I'm using the watched forums as my homepage. Having this bit of detail will make it a little easier to...

This doesn't answer your question but thought you might like to have a laugh at my homemade 34 to 50 pin SCSI adapter for the Macintosh Portable.

Have you inspected the pins on the port? My first guess would be one or more of them is bent.

I prefer this other holder type for several reasons. The batteries are in an awkward spot under the drive carrier. It's easy to forget about them or to consider it not worth the effort to take them out when you store your Mac II or aren't sure if you'll use it for a long time. These carriers let...

Weird I just realized the text in my original post got garbled. I thought I typed "Nice work!" ¯\(ツ)/¯

This is a nice sentiment but just wanted to say IMO it's okay for you all as an admin team to make tough decisions that might make some or many users unhappy if you think it's in the best interest of the site. Keeping the deciders group smaller could help you be more agile. As long as you're...

Do others find the alert button and thread/message counts useful in the watched forums list? It doesn't seem helpful to me and could be an opportunity to reduce clutter and make more space for the last post summary, which I do think is handy. Also, the alerts button and label are aligned in a...

Agree the five minute thing makes sense. Thanks for looking into it!

It looks like searching for very short terms works, yay! It’d be nice to be able to type something like “se/30 in:Compact Mac” like Slack rather than have to go to that specific forum to search inside of. It’s ideal when you have so many forums. Saves clicking around. Also, do you know how...

I just created a post and edited it shortly after. It doesn’t look like it says ‘edited’ anywhere. It’d probably be good to have edited posts clearly marked as such.

I upgraded from a no-name $40 858D hot air station to a $4,000 Metcal HCT-1000 station and PCT-1000 preheater. Fortunately I found them on eBay and got a great deal. As expected, it’s extremely nice and ridiculously overkill for a hobbyist. I couldn’t find any reviews or videos about these...
