The Tinker Different board has published a governance policy to clearly define roles and expected comportment of current and future board members. Tinker Different has rules regarding the conduct of members, so we felt it was prudent to define and impose rules upon ourselves as well. The...

This month the Tinker Different board will be broadcasting their first livestream for 2024, with a tour of some of the latest fantastic and ingenious projects posted on the Tinker Different Forum, followed by a Q&A session. It's going to be a lot of fun and we invite you to join us and be part...

Finding the right balance of having a separate section for everything, without it getting overly convoluted and bewildering is a challenge. We try and cater for as many interests as we can, without reaching a point where no one can find anything. While we don't have a section specifically named...

The board has recently received a request to include "gender identity", "gender expression" and "sex" be added the to anti-discrimination section of the code of conduct. The excerpt in question currently reads as follows: The current omission of "gender identity", "gender expression" and...

Thanks Colin, Yes, every other tant cap of the same physical size on the card is a 10µf 16V, so my guess is the missing one is the same, but I just wanted to be certain.

Hi all, I have a RasterOps 8XL NuBus graphics card and it's missing a tantalum capacitor from location C50 (see pictures). Every other tant cap of the same size on the board is 10µf 16V, so my guess is the missing one is the same, but I'd like to be certain. If anyone else has one of these...

I'm really sorry James, but I couldn't find my Radius Thunder 24/GT anywhere. I'm pretty sure I have one, but it must be installed in one of the Macs I have in storage. Most of the display cards I've tried with the Radius Rocket have worked fine, but I do recall one of them didn't unfortunately...

Hi James, I'm pretty sure I have both, so I'll check for you.

I suspect that if you'd left the computer long enough it would have eventually mounted. Was the activity light illuminated while it was stuck in this state? If so, I think it was probably rebuilding the desktop on your BlueSCSI drive, but it was performing very slowly because of the card format...

That one looks pretty good to me. It has 360W of cleaning power, which means it will have 6 x 60W transducers. The rule of thumb is 25W per litre of liquid, so 360W is perfect for 15L. It has 600W heating power, which is a lot, so it should heat up nice and quickly. The price looks good too.

Here's an early release preview of my contribution to the 2024 PowerPC Challenge. I hope you enjoy it!

Well we don't call it a "challenge" for nothing!

I just made one: thingiverse.com/thing:6369849

No, nothing like that.

Here are the winners of the Tinker Different Calendar competition! Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry, the standard was exceptionally high which made our job of picking winners incredibly difficult! If you see your picture here, please drop us an email at [email protected] with...

Well, it worked! It flashed my MovieMaker to give it the 1080 resolution of the MovieMaker Pro. Thanks very much for this! However, after capturing a film and comparing it to my old 720p capture, I don't think it improves much. I think I was getting all I was gonna get from this grainy old film...

@Mac84, my Wolverine Film2digital MovieMaker 8mm film scanner has a 2304 x 1536 sensor, but only outputs 720p video. I'm guessing that it could do 1080 with the right hack.

The Tinker Different 2024 calendar competition is underway, and we would like your input on what important dates we should include. The calendar will highlight some of the important dates and anniversaries (well, important to us geeks) such as December 12 (Apple went public), or August 12 (IBM...
