That's awesome! What sort of power is hitting the outside of that capacitor?

It's not a lie generator. It has no intent or concept of whether what it is saying is true or not. It's just a probability sieve. And sometimes what it thinks is probable is something I haven't thought of myself -- sometimes because I've never seen the source material that it was trained on...

Any plans to implement YMODEM or ZMODEM? I like the ability to resume interrupted transfers.

Well THAT makes my similar video series on the same topic rather outdated... :D

Or, you could create an OtherMenu module to do it -- all drives get listed in OM, but you have the option to toggle any of them visible/invisible on the desktop. Of course, the tricky bit there is actually setting the invisble bit in a way that the current OS will abide by, as that changes...

I've used other characters instead of a space that had 0 width in the past; can't recall what, though.

It works in some configurations and not in others; I can't recall offhand which Finder/media combos work, but it's worth a try :) The alternative is to give the partition an "invisible" custom icon and file name, so it's still there but doesn't get in the way.

I have a last edition Airport Extreme (2013?) and it still works with 802.11b in the clear and using WEP. Best to keep anything on it walled off from your "real" network as anyone could theoretically do anything on the network, but it works. WEP encryption was fully cracked more than 20 years...

You can also do this with an Airport Extreme (any vintage). I have one of my Extremes set up as a vintage AP in a DMZ (anything can connect, but it can't see the rest of my network, only the Internet). Although I did this by placing the Extreme itself in a DMZ on my router, not by using the...

Something I've done is created two VNC server apps... one as appl and one as appe. The appe one goes in my Startup Items folder, and if I need to edit the settings, I use the appl one. IIRC, There's at least one screen saver app that works this way too (Dark Side?). Pretty much anything where...

Those 20 and 40MB 5.25" Quantum drives were beasts! Unfortunately, they were also slow. I replaced one with a smaller (physically) 80MB Quantum drive, and the performance increase was very noticeable.

No, that means something went wrong. I believe you're looking for two 64k files.

Heh... I can't answer your question directly, as I've stayed away from Swift UI for the most part, but this really really REALLY reminds me of doing the exact same exercise in HyperCard in 1989. I wonder if trying to sort it out there, and then using that insight to figure it out in Swift would...

Yeah; Mini vMac, BII and SS all use essentially the same shortcuts for data I/O. MAME, PCE and Snow are the ones to look at if you're trying to reference reasonable emulated IWM/SCSI timings.

JPEGView is probably your best bet, but I think the scan only happens when the slideshow is first built. Your best bet is likely to use an AppleScript in the background to check for new files. The live folder monitoring hadn't been added to AppleScript at this point, but I know I cobbled...

Well, what really got the UK government going on the BBC Micro project was France rolling out Minitel. Which, I have to say, was an awesome, if self-limiting enterprise (They identified and implemented most of the on-line features people commonly use today except computer-intensive stuff like...

I remember discussion at one of the MacHack conferences in the 90s (I think it spawned the Joliet filesystem extension and Mt. Everything?) -- the developer tried to push past the 31 character Finder limit because Joliet stores more data, and he figured he could store more of the filename on the...

I first connected to the Internet on a Mac Plus in 1990. On a 1200 baud modem connected via ZTerm. The Internet was fun back then; the long distance phone bills to connect to the Internet... not so much. Local BBSes weren't as fun :)

He's still around; someone could theoretically ask him ;)

This point is more important than many people give it credit for; not only was insane pipelining introduced at the hardware level, but looking at the precompiler and compiler work done to optimize for later x86 vs RISC like the Acorn chips... a lot of people had sunk a lot of costs into the x86...
