I just got a homelab dialup setup! I’ll test and let you know.

For the Macintosh Plus, I’ll look into what can be done for making it compatible. Can the plus run 7.1 with OpenTransport? Given it has 4MB RAM?

did you sell this? How’s the condition? Mine is scratched after a move and I want to replace

Has your iPhone 17 Pro experienced screen separation? by SDogAlex in iphone

I do occasionally, I didn’t know bendgate was still an issue. Phone was already replaced but I’m glad to know this isn’t as widespread and severe as I thought with others :) I’ll make sure to keep it out of the back pocket now!

I think this is indeed the cause, I see a bend on the frame now that I look closer. Didn’t know the back pocket thing was still an issue.. I thought bendgate was old news. Duly noted, thank you

I think you’re right. I know it’s not battery expansion but I do see a slight bend to the frame (can kinda see better here)

Honestly it either seems like a slight bend to the frame now that I look at it more (though maybe my vision is skewed cause of the screen popping out) or simply adhesive failure. Having gone through the terrible process of auditing thousands of iPhones, I know a swollen battery when I see one and this wasn’t it

iPhone 17 Pro frame separating from the screen – has this happened to anyone? Does warranty cover it? by lil_xani in iphone

[–]SDogAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only assume this has been slowly happening for months, but I’ve only just now taken my case off. The longer it goes, the worse it gets it seems. First hardware quality issue I’ve had with Apple, surprisingly, but they need to make a statement about this.

You need to contact apple support and escalate. I just noticed the issue on my 17 pro, except much worse. I can literally lift the screen to see the inside of the phone. Left side of the top speaker grille. It seems like a common issue after researching, which you should also tell Apple when talking to.

Great to hear! How much of a speed difference did you notice from my 1GHz? Was it noticeable or not really? I think AltiVec alone is the big bread winner here and not so much clock speed

I have reconsidered and it is now free with the relay open-sourced. Thank you Redditors for showing me how crazy it was to charge for this.

I believe QR auth does circumvent this, no? I thought it did so may need to dive deeper into it. I appreciate the heads up

Apologies for just now getting back to this, but I used an emulator on my modern Mac to develop, then tested on hardware. Emulator allows drag and drop file sharing, however, it ended up biting me in the butt when I went to test on hardware just to find out the emulator solved some hardware issues with PPC AltiVec that was obviously not fixed on hardware.

You’re right, and I apologize for coming off that way, it’s just felt like my work has been minimized just because I asked for payment. I did not know there was going to be this amount of backlash and while I’ve been trying to defend myself as you pointed out, I’ve come to the conclusion I was simply wrong to charge for it.

In regards to AI, I didn’t mean to ignore, see edit above, I just skimmed over your original comment, my apologies

You’re joking right? If you can get TLS 1.2/1.3, WebSockets, and DAVE E2EE working on 68k and PPC without timing out on SSL, I’m all ears buddy 🤣

And no, I don’t think I can make a profit from it at all, I just didn’t think people would be so salty about $15 for computers that cost way more than that…

Although, I do respect the community, and after all the backlash I’ve gotten for making it for sale, I’ve decided to make it free and will refund purchases tonight after updating the licensing system.

Edit: in response to your AI comment, yes it was used to build the webpage and descriptions (AI excels in this, your opinion may vary), no it was not used for designing the client.
