    Apple 23" ADC Cinema Display Hinge and Kickstand Replacement

    The alloy used in these ADC acrylic cinema displays stinks. I seriously think the plastic is stronger than the alloy used (in the amounts it was used).

    Dual 2.0GHz PowerMac G5 Thermal Calibration not slowing down fans

    well, lots of pmg5 owners use the software and if you replaced the fan, that rules those bits out as likely points of failure which leaves the thermal sensor. I’d unplug the thing, reboot and see if mach10 mega fan speed goes away.

    Dual 2.0GHz PowerMac G5 Thermal Calibration not slowing down fans

    I wonder if the thermal sensor in those areas is failing. Unplug it & recalibrate - see if the fan behaves.

    Apple 23" ADC Cinema Display Hinge and Kickstand Replacement

    I have a number of 23” adc but luckily no hinge issues. I did inherit a 17” with snapped hinge. My fix was $1 worth of epoxy injected into the break area & cured. It holds it weight fine but I doubt I’d be able to get it back apart now. 🙂

    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    That’s not cheating, that’s just having an awesome powermac. I have a DC 2ghz a1117 & it is quite snappy. I can only imagine a quad. You should buy your brother some beers for the gift. 🙂

    Here's today's PowerPC antics - my a1047 Powermac G5 dual 2ghz chilling out (literally) in my garage.

    How do you pronounce “LIDO?”

    Nahh man, it's more like Lye Dough. :-)

    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    Very nice. I am using it on my 1.33ghz ibook g4 and I think it is a bit snappier than DiscordPPC1.3. Looking at Activity monitor, it definitely enjoys munching on the single cpu (evidenced by text/typing lag), but I bet will be very nice on my multi-cpu/core PowerPC powermacs. I realize reading...

    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    I have had no issues with photos in DiscordPPC. For emoji support, you need to copy the 2 fonts symbola.ttf and symbola_hint.ttf to /Library/Fonts - although I did notice that recently with v1.3 that while the blue ?'s are gone, emojis are empty despite dropping the symbola files where it needs...

    Facebook on Leopard?

    Huh last time I checked (couple days ago) FaceIt was working on Leopard. I’m out right now but will check when I get back. What about a custom TFFx build and fox box or InterwebPPC+ Mobile UA?

    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    Below is my desktop - PowermacG4 Quicksilver. Software is very similar to my ibook Im using for this except I have some games, emulators and different foxbox iterations - so won't relist all that. Going into this, I thought email would be the biggest hurdle, but to date, using basic HTML...

    Advice re: What to do with MacBook2,1 (Late 2006)--Worth Repairing?

    Hi there, I used the Piker Alpha boot efi IIRC.

    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    This is my approach in that I use a combination of interwebPPC, foxboxes, fluid, tenfivetube & DicordPPC (amongst some others) to go and do what I need to online - a lot of that list is Wicknix's handywork. Webkit for me has been too unstable to reliably use - ymmv. Anyhow, zippiness isn't...

    Advice re: What to do with MacBook2,1 (Late 2006)--Worth Repairing?

    That 2007 2,1 should run El Capitan pretty well imo. I have elcap running on an 08MB and 08MBP without issue. Maxed ram & SSD have them humming along - both DDs for me, the MB upstairs and the MBP downstairs.

    Your Favorite Graphics Card

    I had a friend who put a peltier on his card - iirc it was also a TNT riva. We both played 2v2 team domination ShogoMAD. IIRC he had to run it caseless at first because his case was too small. I remember ultimately him puting in a custom bubbled window to make everything fit right & a soft baby...

    Your Favorite Graphics Card

    Voodoo 5500 AGP. Why? it was my first high end gaming gpu I picked up and I recall it absolutely slayed the likes of UT99, Q3A, ShogoMAD etc. (before this I was using a rage128 32b agp- a fine card or its time but would lock up when under load and heated up - custom HS/fan didn't help) I'd love...
