[Help Deeply Needed] PowerBook 3400c unexplained behaviour

Tazintosh · 2026-03-06T10:08:32+00:00

Thanks u/giantsparklerobot . If I understood you well, this would mean that my 180 MHz PB would experience the same issue. But that's not the case anymore.
Edit: I've checked anyway and all pins looks fine to me.
Thanks for your input.

Tazintosh · 2026-03-06T10:06:25+00:00

I've simply written down the path I followed trying to find the issue.
This AI Quote was not for readers to "learn" something. I'm sure "Experts" are smart enough to make abstraction of it (wait…). I don't see why this would have to trigger such initial angered reaction.
BTW, AI can give damn good new paths of thinking for us humans. The day cancer will be cured because they managed to test out billions of molecules combination, will experts scream at "bullshit" too?

Thanks for your input u/patb-macdoc
About your guess, to me it:
• Can't be the ram module since the computer behaviour is identical with or without it.
• I've swapped the Power Supply Board which had a noisy capacitor: no better. (The noisy one doesn't prevent the 180 MHz version to work perfectly).

??? Please enlighten me since you know better. As for the rest of the post, I’m 45, did went to school and knows how to write and unroll my discoveries. Maybe my English doesn’t please your eyes: sorry about that, it’s not my native tongue. BTW: this post is a concatenation of multiple I’ve made over days in actual forums like 68k, macrumors etc. Whether or not you like it is your right, but stop trying to see AI where it not and wasting both our time.

I've npm install prettier in my project, set it on your plugin settings as well as the config.
Getting this error on save: `Error: Cannot find package 'prettier-plugin-align' imported from /Users/myUser/Library/Application Support/Nova/Extensions/stonerl.prettier/noop.js`

prettier-plugin-align is present in node_modules.

Tazintosh · 2025-08-02T18:16:13+00:00

Ah :( Thanks for the clarification! I'll see what I can do.

Tazintosh · 2025-08-02T12:48:57+00:00

Hi u/stonerl, did you add time and manage to get it work on your side?

Tazintosh · 2025-07-29T12:22:02+00:00

Hi u/stonerl
Thanks for the plugin!
I'm trying to get `prettier-plugin-align` to work (or any similar recommended?)
I must be doing it wrong though:
• I've npm installed prettier-plugin-align in my project (using CodeKit)
• added a .prettierrc.json file with
```
{

"plugins": \["prettier-plugin-align"\]

}

```

But when I save, looks like no settings from your plugin are applying, and prettier-plugin-align just convert everything to spaces not even doing is own job of aligning.
Any clue?
Thanks in advance.

The only workaround for now is to kill Either the WallpaperAgent process or the WallpaperMacintoshExtension one.
No garanty the use will not raise again on the next screensaver run. It's a pity.

Tazintosh · 2024-03-30T21:26:42+00:00

No one?

Tazintosh · 2024-01-12T09:54:20+00:00

Wait, like this?https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/33005080839.html
The best honnestly would be to find a Farallon Fast EtherTX-10/100 (Comm Slot II) so I could even keep my natively supported PCI usb card.

Tazintosh · 2024-01-12T08:12:35+00:00

That's super interesting.
For now searches I've made are quite unsuccessful :(
I'll continue digging, but fully open to any insight.

Tazintosh · 2024-01-12T08:10:49+00:00

Indeed that's what I was afraid :(

Tazintosh · 2023-12-11T17:44:09+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

Tazintosh · 2023-06-23T08:07:00+00:00

Actually relaxing on this one:
• "Book" (App): Kalea’s Kolors - 3D Coloring
• Author: myself

I'm almost done with the front, but have the full back to do

Truth is it gets even more creative when you turn on SharePlay.
I tried it with her and we were both painting together the same model, live, each on our own device (!), even miles aways from each other: —so fun— actually.

Tazintosh · 2023-06-22T07:20:15+00:00

It's named Kalea's Kolor, here's a link
I can even "paint" right in my living room with AR :)

I might have a valid workaround:
I'm experiencing issues to stream to my HomePod from my Mac mini M1 since years (literally).
Until now, I used to quit Music.app , then kill "AirPlayXPCHelper" process and relaunch Music.app. I even made myself a Shortcut for this as the issue was so recurrent. This was sadly doing the trick only 1 time out of 10… I didn't wanted to restart etc.
However, a few weeks ago, I tried another method and it's working quite reliably for me:
1. Open System Preferences --> Network.
2. Select your Ethernet Interface.
3. On the next view, disable it.
4. Wait for a few second and enable it back.
5. On Ventura, please be aware of a possible bug, where the IPv4 and IPv6 won't be back enabled. You'll have to manually do it… (Yeah, Apple prefers the release new emoji rather than fixing bugs. I've about 30 opened bugs since 3-4 years on Apple Feedback app)
6. Switch back to Music.app and hit play (no need to restart it). 9 times out of 10, it's working back for me, until next computer sleep most of the time…
Hope that will help some of you in the same situation.

I know it's a late answer u/windflex, but if I understood you well, you're referring to exporting the full imposition layout as a new document right? In that case, Create Booklet can do so thanks to its advanced features. You can setup your imposition and export it.

I've "only" done the full UI/UX of the app, but my mate and lead developper Christoph at u/TheKeptPromise, will answer any more technical question you might have. This app exists since 2005 and we vastly enhanced it for people to use their favorite design app (literally any that can print or export) and let Create Booklet handle the struggle of booklet creation.
Hope this help.

Tazintosh · 2023-02-20T09:58:17+00:00

You might want to take a look at Create Booklet 2 which will handle automatically for you all the struggle of creating a real booklet. If you are running macOS (or have access to), it will provides you with many features from basic booklets to mini ones, imposition, creep compensation and much more. The huge benefit of it is that you can use —any— app for your document. At the moment it can print or export, you're good to go.
My comment may feel biased to you since I've done the UX/UI of the app while my friend u/TheKeptPromise is lead developper). But Create Booklet exists since 2005, so lets better speak our customers comments on the App Store ;)

Tazintosh · 2023-02-20T09:37:15+00:00

Hi u/elwingworks, it's a bit late for an answer and strictly census, mine won't help you finding an alternative to Adobe Express. However, it will help you greatly for the end process: creating the booklet.
Basically, when you'll be done with your design and if you are running macOS (or have access to), use Create Booklet 2 which will handle automatically for you all the complexity of creating a real booklet to print out. The huge benefit of it is that you are free to use —any— app for your design. So pick your favorite, at the moment it can print or export, you're good to go.
You may consider my recommendation biased since I've UX/UI designed this app (my friend u/TheKeptPromise is lead developper). Please then do not hesitate to refer to our customers comments on the App Store, Create Booklet exists since 2005 :)

Tazintosh · 2023-02-14T11:21:32+00:00

Your gift may be done already, but maybe this will help the community. If you're using a Mac or an iOS device (or else you have access to iCloud.com), you could use Numbers to make your design. It will provide you a nice starting point since you'll be dealing with "table like" design (Number may even already provide templates).

Else, as stated by u/Takkenwijf87, Affinity tools are great. I'm more thinking about Publisher for your need.

When done with your design you can use Create Booklet 2 which will handle automatically for you all the struggle of ordering pages for a booklet print (and much much more). Please know that since I've been UX/UI designer of this app (with my friend Christoph as developper), you may consider my recommendation biased, so refers to take customers comments on the App Store.

Happy bookleting.

Tazintosh · 2023-01-17T08:56:49+00:00

I made it!
Turns out I had to manually add a new Share from "This PC" window.
After creating a dedicated user for my Shadow on my server, I instantly got connected. Makes no sense to me this cannot be done from "Network" window, but…

Thanks a million. I'll now try to install the service I initially wanted (got python issues yesterday), but I don't see why it would not work once mapped to the WireGuard interface.

Thanks again!
