    Simple garden table refurbishment

    Very nice job. When my wife and I bought our current abode, it came with this massive 15 foot picnic table that was covered with this thick dark syrupy brown sealant stuff. I sanded it down and it soaked up an entire large can of exterior wood seal/stain. The old gunk that was on it was really...

    OMG😱 (satire)

    Excuse me. I don’t concern myself with that Tennessee fire water. I only drink the finest Kentucky varieties, kind sir.

    iPod collection

    My gen3 iPods rubber bit is ultra sticky too. I assumed it was just the age of the unit, plastics degrading etc

    Quick question - were those clouds already in that photo just washed out by the white balance or did you add them?

    OS X 10.7 or 10.8 preferred on a Macbook 4,1?

    Eos is built on Ubuntu. I am newer to Eos but like it due to its similarity to macos. I have used Ubuntu on some other C2D 08 & 09 macbooks I have with great success and DD it on an A1078 09 MBP. Interestingly, Eos was not as easy an install requiring some command line work as Ubuntu which was...

    Decoder Ring - a keygen for games released by Ambrosia Software

    Very cool. I wonder if that would work for Ambrosia screen cap apps Snapz Pro and Snapz Pro X?

    Troubles reinstalling OS 8.5 on SSD in G3 B&W

    If the original drive is still functioning, why not boot with the old hdd, connect the SSD as a second drive and clone/copy the spinners contents to the SSD? Then replace the spinner with the SSD & boot. Why that install is failing could be a myriad of issues from adapter incompatibility to...

    M3 Keyboard Covers-Recommendations?

    I am not a fan of the shallow keyboard tolerances on the M2 keyboard. I used a generic silicone cover to add height to the keys. It has nothing to do with keeping it clean although I ended up setting up my son on it to do his virtual summer reading club classes, so not a bad idea for little...

    Thoughts On The Global Tech Outage?

    My 75&81 y/o parents were flying back from Alaska when this F’d everything up. Initially it grounded their plane for a little over an hour which they thought would make them late to their connecting gate but their pilot was a goat & pushed the heck out of that airbus making up about 45 minutes...

    Why Desktop Linux Sucks (Hey, Action Retro! ;) )

    I think there are quite a few polished distros in 2024 that are really easy entry points for folks who just want it to work like Ubuntu for example. Polished UI, regular updates, decent snap repo, annd community etc. Now the fragmentation he speaks to I think is a natural byproduct of an open...
