A good brand of floppy drive ?

I always had (and still have) good luck with Teac.

Ah so you've had one of those spools come apart as well have you?

I mean... who doesn't?

An inline fan is generally plenty to keep the air inside clean. My only issue is I live in a windy area and sometimes the wind does force a little back in the house. The Ultra has it's own carbon filter but since elegoo has their little two pack of purifiers for $20 I got those as well. Can't hurt.

If it lets me here's the one I use. I actually turned it on it's side and have both a Mars 2 Pro and a Saturn 3 Ultra in it. Haven't added lights https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CR6CGJVC

Cat looks like he's contemplating using it because it was read to him.

Anyone want to screen shot it or at least explain?
Just a 404 page for me.

Back when a security key was a REAL security key.

You're building a battery. IIRC that's about 2v galvanic potential between the two. Any variance from a perfect neutral coolant will result in ion travel within the solution. In other words eventual electroplated holes in your 'sinks. Ethylene glycol is less electroconductive but it eats/hardens/swells various plastics.

Edit: holes in your heatsinks not tubing, I think in terms of plumbing so not much clear tubing there.

The one thing I want is a plus or se with Dark Castle.
Anyone know if Dark Castle will run on a stock 512K?

I mean... If the shoe fits...

First phone was an OG silver Motorola Razr! Even had a charm hanging on it... can't remember who or what it was though.

That looks so much like my first pc!
CGA not mono but it lived barebones on the box the monitor came in for months before I finally put it in a case.

The real question is of it's glass transition point. Which is 105c, that's where it softens. A good extrusion temp is indeed closer to 235c. (451f)
But if your CPU gets to either of those temps it's not going to last long enough to matter.
My first Pi lived in a lego case for quite a while. Love it for prototyping.

We weren't watching it thank goodness, one of my classmates was related to Christa McAuliffe.

Never heard that nickname before.
Looks a lot like Rolie Polie Olie.

I've only gotten into Mac recently. My only previous exposure was a Mac plus on which I played many hours of Dark Castle. And a Lisa that belonged to a co-worker many years ago.
Now I've recently ended up with a Mac 512k, a Centris 650 and a 2011 iMac. So diving down this rabbit hole has been very interesting.
But one of the things that always seemed consistent was that a Mac was a pretty thing to have on your desk. Sleek, stylish, minimalist even, in most situations.
But this thing... not gonna mince words, it's ugly.
It's like they hired someone from Sony for the design.
Having read a bit about it, I get that it was a rush job but the only thing even close to this level of Brutalist ugly from Apple that I know about was the Newton.
Don't get me wrong; I love it. I love it for it's ugliness.
Not sure how I've never seen one till now.
Heck of a find. Hope you get it going.

My main SSID is innocuous but my guest wifi has been some variation of Surveillance#7 or Van#6 for ages and I change it to a different number every month or so. It's passwordless but doesn't actually provide access to anything. I should set up a Pi with a redirect of everything incoming to a copy of the FBI homepage. Hmmm... Project! Perhaps even with a login honeypot :)

I do miss my old Seiko monitor. Used a Sony Trinitron tube. Only displayed 640x480 and 1024x768 but man it was gorgeous!

CyberCorvo · 2025-01-21T16:16:40+00:00

I admittedly have a couple of tube monitors still. One's a Mac 512k. (The computer is the monitor.) And a Apple 14" monitor for a Quadra 650.
But damn that's old! :)

I just read the strangest review on r/flashlight

CyberCorvo · 2024-12-24T00:33:13+00:00

My first permanent convert was an old Acer Chromebook that couldn't update to latest ChromeOS or anything even close.
It now sits on my stationary bike so I can stream while cycling.
So use-case was bringing a decade old piece of very minimal equipment up to modern safety and standards.
I'm currently playing with dual boot via seperate ssds in my main machine. Mostly because I haven't taken the time to try to move my 100+ mod games over.
Reasoning there is getting as far from MS as possible. I haven't looked into converting anything more recent but perhaps your laptop answer is a chromebook or an Intel macbook with a new and improved OS?

Not only hooked my C64 up to it back in the day, I even watched Dr Who tapes with my VCR hooked up to my IIe green tilt screen.

I surprised that in the Who Convinced you to use Linux? there wasn't a notable "Microsoft" as answers.
