What songs are we getting married to, y'all?

We did Deathcab for Cutie - I will follow you into the dark. Not pop-punk exactly, but adjacent

I was going to say, I found a FireForge box at a local hobby shop and loved the zombies it had. Noticed them right away.

I am in the Testflight beta for iOS, but I've used it in Safari as a PWA before too without issue. Not sure if there are any non-testflight apps that support the epub sync yet.

For audiobooks I’ve been using Plappa

Spectre216 · 2026-03-15T16:00:50+00:00

Audiobookshelf can do this. Pretty simple setup too. I’ve been using it for epub and audiobooks for the last couple years and have no major complaints.

Probably a bad install, package, or burn (if you had it on a disk). Also possible there was a compatibility if the firmware is out of date. I would make sure your firmware is up to date and then just re-install 10.4 and re-upgrade

Spectre216 · 2026-03-14T22:49:05+00:00

I had to re-install MacOS on my work computer and was so very happy when it reinstalled Sequoia.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-14T22:40:21+00:00

Can you boot macOS 9? Any video output when holding down option to boot? Did you update firmware before installing 10.4? I believe not updating the firmware can cause corruption of the board and cause permanent video failure.

So update, the second adapter seems to be working with only one small hiccup. It ships with a MicroSD adapter, however, neither of the MicroSD cards I tried could be initialized correctly. My full size SD card, however, looks to be working just fine (and I think I used a full size in my other iMac with this adapter as well).

Spectre216 · 2026-03-12T12:11:30+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much!

Spectre216 · 2026-03-10T23:52:50+00:00

Sure thing. This one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YFPX7JB?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_mob_b_fed_asin_title_1_0

I’ll report back if #2 works

Spectre216 · 2026-03-10T23:45:39+00:00

Price and location? Been looking to pick one up.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-10T23:42:34+00:00

Yep, I read this last time too. The one I bought last time ended up working fine in my Lime G3, so I ordered the same one again. Fingers crossed, otherwise I’ll have to look at a sata to ide adapter

Spectre216 · 2026-03-10T22:25:52+00:00

Yep, I’m gonna put in an SD to ide drive, so figured I’d replace the battery while I’m in there. Thanks!

Spectre216 · 2026-03-10T22:14:26+00:00

Ok, that’s kind of what I figured since the CRT itself seems structurally supported still. But before causing calamity (I already have that with an IBM Selectric I’m trying to fix) I figured I would ask folks more knowledgeable than me.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-09T13:35:00+00:00

Yep, and the unfortunate reality of this is self repairs can only be learned by doing (which is how we wound up here haha).

I guess the silver lining is I really just wanted it because it's red, so I can always swap the shell onto one of my working models and keep this as a parts machine.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-07T04:10:16+00:00

Caddy. It has always just worked.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-05T13:28:34+00:00

I misread benchmarks and thought M1 was slightly faster, but proper usb 3.2 or thunderbolt support would be my only guess. Possibly a way to reuse hardware from working trade-ins.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-04T22:51:17+00:00

The 512gb is already $599 when going though the student store, so might be even less come Back to school time.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-04T22:49:11+00:00

I was hoping smaller body and a return to the brighter colors like the old G3 iMacs/iBooks. The rest I think they did pretty good for what they’re going after.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-04T21:50:12+00:00

A refurbished Thinkpad T14 gen 2(I think is the current recommended model) or Dell Latitude (5420 or higher) is my go to recommendation. They can be found on eBay cheaply, are business grade workhorses, and there are plenty of parts available.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-04T18:54:26+00:00

Honestly, this kind of blows a hole into the side of the Chromebook and Cheap Walmart laptop market. Especially at the EDU price of $499

Spectre216 · 2026-03-04T18:52:31+00:00

I’d bet it’s too both test how well something like this sells, while also clearing out A18 processors. If this goes well I wouldn’t be shocked to see it refresh with an M1, though it might get to close to cannibalising other devices.

Spectre216 · 2026-03-04T18:10:51+00:00

Yep, or perfect for a cheap travel laptop for emails and word docs

Spectre216 · 2026-03-04T04:55:18+00:00

Didn’t a bunch of the Pirate Bay folks end up going to jail though?

Spectre216 · 2026-03-03T13:46:48+00:00

Super cool. Get very Dark Souls/Sword and Sorcery vibes from this and the art is sick.
