    Fixing cracked ABS plastic

    I was thinking about applying specifically the plastics interior side, not exterior - the non user facing bits as to maintain the exterior asthetic. Anyhow, spray the interior with something that destabilizes the surface but cures back a little better, a bit more robust - less prone to...

    Fixing cracked ABS plastic

    I always wondered if there was a product that could be sprayed to the interior of ABS plastic (others as well) that could help add strength. I am no chemist but envisioned some chemical blend that goes on via aerosol and you let cure on the underside of the plastic bits. What would that be? Like...

    Resource Categories

    Another thought is in an effort to farm out the nuts n bolts work of said resource lists so Kai and team arn't shouldering absolutely everything, resource lists could be opened up to users adding links to respective categories. This would not necessarily be curated through TD crew but would be...

    Resource Categories

    Not everyone thinks the same way. This opportunity should not be approached as a one solution fits everyone's cognitive process. Folks looking for help will be coming to TD from a multitude of different cognitive angles. Yes, I agree that oveclocking for example should be in the machines...

    Is the AMTECH 559 PLUNGER botched?

    Man you are dead on about the plunger feedback. It's irrelevant if the flux is good (or not). If the tool to use it sucks, what's the difference? Per your own experience, at this point, you are going back to your preferred flux (and plunger). I as a widget manufacturer sure would love to know...

    Upgrading from HDD to SSD - how to migrate data?

    Unlike OSX and modern MacOS, OS9 doesnt need cloning software. Just drag the source hard drive icon and drop onto the destination SSD icon. A bootable copy of the spinner installation will be copied to the SSD. Once its done, you can swap em out.

    Mac OS 9 version for Powerbook G4 (gigabit-Ti)

    Welcome. Why not give the OS9 Lives ISO a try? I had an imacg3 and Quicksilver that were finicky about their OS9 iso and the OS9Lives iso installed just fine on both of them. http://macos9lives.com/ and nice pickup. A Titanium Powerbook is one of the remaining computers on my I want list.

    Attic dropped soffit air sealing

    That's great. I love spray foam insulation but dont have a gun - I think my garage definitely needs one of those. (y)I just got stuck in the lurch of not having the right tool for the job today. I was replacing a ceiling fan in the home that had become wobbly and unstable at its Jbox and I...

    Favorite cooking technology gadgets

    I'm not one for having a ton of kitchen gadgets let alone ones that firmly cross over into tech but I do like this: Mastrad Meat*It + I've had it for a year now and I can tell you it works really well. It's obviously handy in a roasting piece of beast but I have a number of smokers as well...
