@jmacz There are a few companies that make specifically larger 4:3 displays for arcades. They're a bit pricey, but not nearly as expensive as they used to be. Here's an example of a 26" display for $300...

Launching satellites is also expensive, especially when they're one SME away from being destroyed like what happened in 2021. It's also prohibitively expensive. $500 just to get going ($350 + $100 deposit, plus $50 to $100 shipping, then $80 to $120/mo (depending on where you live) for the...

If I'm ever able to afford my own place, running ethernet is at the top of my list. I'm envious of the municipal fiber options elsewhere, though. Mine is $100/mo for just internet. Elsewhere it's $70/mo or less, and not only do you get gigabit fiber, but you get local TV and landline. Some...

My dad worked the majority of his adult life with the 802.11 forum, specifically ethernet. :) His group tried real hard to get ethernet to be the standard for housing, automobiles, and aircraft. Back in the 1990s they were already talking about running ethernet to every home and having what we...

They'd likely just terminate the service. The servers I want to run aren't illegal.

I lucked out. AT&T ran fiber last year along the utility poles near the place I rent. So I'm in bliss with mah gigabit fiber. Only downside is that I'm hamstrung by AT&T's TOS and equipment. Even though I'm on an unshared gigabit fiber connection, they still won't let me have any servers...

@Snial Ironically the people who will be most affected by it are the ones who voted for it, then they'll continue voting for it every 2 and 4 years while muttering incoherent nonsense about socialism and George Soros.

Probably the best B&W G3 I've ever seen. Extremely nice. :D

How about DΒ-19? That's an uppercase Beta. Then we can all snicker every time someone calls it DB-19.

OK, I had nightmares about the 1973 movie. Good thing it's not an actual 41-year-old baby.

Sonic Studio is still in business. Maybe someone over there has what you need? https://sonicstudio.com/ Sonic Studio downloads for versions 2.2.6, 5.3.2, and 5.4b10: https://web.archive.org/web/20100214115515/http://sonicstudio.com/support/download.html Manual for Sonic Studio...

I figured it was something like that. I have a combination of passive adapters and ones with varying amounts of dip switches. I should probably replace them all with one of these at some point: https://www.bigmessowires.com/mac-sync-inator/

I have similar SIMMs in my IIci. 4 banks of 4 MBs (2 banks per side like in your picture) for a single 16MB SIMM. I have all 8 SIMM slots filled with them. I call it the Brick o' RAM. They're hilariously big. I love 'em. :D

Are you sure it's not the cable adapter? I have several different ones that work with varying success.

That'd look super sweet next to a PowerMac G3. Nice find! I was expecting the clear one with the subwoofer and ball speakers.

Echoing what others have said: All II-series except IIfx: Daystar Turbo 040 and PowerCache 030s (most compatible, most adapters.) IIfx: Tokamac 040 (extremely rare, and those with a complete one refuse to lend or dump ROMs to make clones possible.) LC Series: Presto Plus (not exceptionally...

@jmacz Nice! That is slick looking. :) Any plans to attempt the first 50Mhz Rocket?

To detect the swivel part, wouldn't a mercury switch be useful? Presumably they still sell them. Otherwise you can steal one off an old thermostat.

I don't have files longer than 31, System 7 will complain. However, I run into limits when encoding files, especially Disk Images. I use ".img" for DC6 images, and ".image" for DC4 images. So if I have a disk image of something like "More After Dark Disk 1.image" and then BinHex encode it...

@David Cook Ooo, very nice. Does it know how to handle files that end up being longer than 32 characters? I have to toggle between two different binhexing utilities because one will truncate long file names, but can only handle one file at a time; while the other can handle lots of files at a...
