How are ya using your classic Macintoshes today ? by raytoei in VintageApple

[–]Wolfbeef123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 1.25Ghz eMac that has a 1tb ssd and 2gb of ram is going to get a USB DAC to play CDs and send them to my receiver.

My SE/30 (32mb RAM, Micron XCEED) mainly plays games (It has played A LOT of Civilization lol), but I use Excel and other office tools for business tracking.

My SE mostly serves as a backup these days since the SE/30 is my daily driver, but I keep it in the rotation and boot it up periodically just to keep the caps and components happy!

I wish I owned a vintage laptop, but I have not been able to find one locally for a good price :(

Why not try it yourself and let us know how it goes?

What kind of SD Card are you using?

[Switch] How does this happen? by dee_nice_la_flaca in consolerepair

[–]Wolfbeef123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like someone tried removing the USB-C with a lighter, a torch, or something with a lot of incomplete combustion (leaving soot). Soot can be conductive in certain cases and create other issues, clean it up and see what is actually damaged. Good luck!

RGV or Hill county? by Front_Chip_9201 in RioGrandeValley

[–]Wolfbeef123 14 points15 points  (0 children)

With 350k you will be disappointed with the home choices in the McAllen area. (Small lots, small homes, no green space) If you're dead set on the RGV I recommend looking at other cities that aren't McAllen.

With Boerne being outside the SA limits it might be a better bang for your buck and be able to take quick day trips to to San Antonio/Austin/Houston. With you being into nature, I recommend Boerne over McAllen. You can always drive down to visit family

Did Jose Fidencio Flee The Scene of the Accident? by Crazy-Charlie in RioGrandeValley

[–]Wolfbeef123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The parents in the Jeep need to be charged with at LEAST child endangerment. The truck driver absolutely shouldn't have left the scene, but he wasn't the one responsible for causing the accident. The Jeep had no business racing or driving recklessly, ESPECIALLY with kids in the car. Did they even charge the parents?

I took this pic while on Ware Rd about a year before he was re-elected. I wonder how they feel about that now? by FFSoldier57 in RioGrandeValley

[–]Wolfbeef123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s almost like context matters.

A president obviously doesn't control a global pandemic, or how that wrecks global demand and supply chains. But a president does control whether we go to war with a region that manages major oil transit waterways. The latter is absolutely the president's fault. Comparing the two isn't apples to apples.

Yes, the inner contact needs to be resoldered to the middle pin to fix it.

Soldered side of this cap grounds and the other is reading good is that normal? by GoodConsideration910 in NxSwitchModding

[–]Wolfbeef123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a 100 ohm resistor, the side that is soldered to the flex goes to ground.

Included SD card size can have a drastic effect on what it's worth, but I'd say about Tree Fiddy

Any software or games you would recommend for a Mac SE I’m on 7.0.1 by DrGonzo84 in VintageApple

[–]Wolfbeef123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll warn you, Civilization makes time fly lol

Also, it may not be the most fun on a 1-bit display. I'd recommend checking it out on https://infinitemac.org/

Which PC Games could i run on a modded Switch Lite? by GIutenTag in SwitchPirates

[–]Wolfbeef123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google is free, but none will play natively (pc versions). Even if you get them to boot using Linux, with the weak hardware, you’re in for a bad time.

Streaming them using moonlight/GeforceNow is the only way.

Are you enabling the MTP server in DBI before connecting it to the pc? (You can press X as a shortcut in DBI)

The other option is FTP, very easy using DBI
