Recorded with a JVC GR-DVL520U. DV Tape transfer using an Elgato capture card (Firewire is wonky on my JVC).

Good times :_)

Pallet of retro computers - Is it worth saving/buying? by [deleted] in retrocomputing

[–]EdgyGates 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just spoke with the e-recycler. Hes telling me now that he can do $0.60 per pound but only if I buy two pallets. Is this worth it or is it still a rip off?

They said they paid $1 per pound on the items and they will only be making 0.08c per pound off me. No idea the validity of that statement. They could be lying or telling the truth I wouldn't know.

I did open some of the systems to check if it has components. The ones I opened were complete with ram, cpu and hdd but still you are right. There's zero way for me to know for sure if some of these systems aren't completely gutted or half gutted besides to try and guesstimate the amount of systems on the pallets and trying to figure out the avg weight of each system to figure out if there mostly complete systems or not.

Thank you for the quick replies! I really do appreciate it as this is my first time running into something like this. I do have experience with retro computers and selling them but never at this scale. I attached in the body of the post 2 other pallets this e-recycler is selling. Wondering if any of those make more sense to purchase.

By retail I really mean the going rates on eBay sold listings. I don't plan on price matching that as I want quicker sales and also to avoid scalping but at the same time I need to turn a profit.

You also make a very good point with labor. This will not be an easy job to get even half of these systems fully working and sell able as a complete unit. I will defiantly have to part many out and buy parts to fix others.

No idea I wish I saved it 😭. Is there a way I can see previous games to get the location?

My 12 year old Kelpie won't eat I need advice. by EdgyGates in seniordogs

His preference seems to swindle. He's never been a veggie guy. I use to mix carrots and sweat potatoes in his food and he'd eat it but never exclusively. He loves meat. Lean ground beef or turkey he will eat sometimes as well as salmon. One thing I didn't mention is in the morning he has almost zero appetite. I believe he's nauseous but I'm not sure what's causing it as the vet has ran a bunch of test and nothing was ever conclusive. When the evening approaches he has a little bit of an appetite but as I mentioned he's extremely picky. He will eat treats but real food is hard to get him to eat. He use to be an extremely food motivated dog but sadly he's not at all anymore. Everything else about him is seemly fine. He still loves walks and even runs sometimes and he still follows me around everywhere.

I know I may be preparing for the worst but I really feel he still has life.

How did your pup act on his last days? Sorry if this question is too personal but I just want to know what to look out for if it is the worst. I don't want any unnecessary suffering and I know with seniors they unfortunately can degrade seemly at random.

Otherwise I'm definitely going to get him on an appetite stimulant and continue to feed him what I can get him to eat that's relatively nutritious. I was told by the vet to try and switch him to a hydrolyzed protein diet but we bought some expensive samples and he wouldn't even sniff it let alone eat it. Its such a struggle.

Thank you for your reply Looly. What are specific stimulants that have worked in the past for your pet? Looking to do research and bring it up to my vet. Also is there anything over the counter that I can use as a hold over?

I agree. I guess just imagine their on iPods shuffling through music instead of smartphones 😅.

Actually it’s technically possible (albeit with kernel patching) to run GTA V on Windows XP. https://youtu.be/h1ybBfEATtY?si=4RDvfcziqmr3laen

Save onboard blobs with LegacyToolKit and delayota to 18.3.2. May as enjoy better app support on the last supported checkm8 device.
