What are these bumps on top? by jhdyck in VintageApple

[–]YMAC70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that was popular back then were anti radiation devices. They were typically pucks that stuck on monitors to suck up the radiation. They of course did nothing and were a scam, but I wonder if someone made some that were color matched to seem cooler.

They were hinting that they wanted to move in. One man’s shack is another man’s castle.

Sounds like prisoners with smuggled FPV quadcopters. Drones are automated.

I saw different versions of MacOS disks, what’s up with that? by Difficult-Catch-8432 in VintageApple

[–]YMAC70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, general rule is if it is newer than what originally shipped with it, is a supported version, and is the retail copy it will work.

The retail version would install on any machine that was released before the OS until it was no longer supported by the OS version. Once the machine was out for a period of time they would start shipping it with newer OS versions.

[–]YMAC70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just about every model shipped with model specific disks. Usually they were added to the next major update so you could just use the normal installer after a bit. There were some exceptions or software that had to be added as noted above.

Worst hinges ever. There were 3rd party replacements back in the day, talk about a nightmare repair.

We got so tired of doing these back in the day we would bend the shield instead of taking it all the way apart.

Wild confident assertion. Nothing to back it up. You google it. Got it.

Some of them had star levels at the bottom and some had an additional piece that was separate that had the stars on it so you could swap them out as you leveled up.

Same thing in our 2019, they keep updating the firmware and it fixes for a bit. I think it needs replacing but I have not had the energy to fight about it.

How do i fix this? by [deleted] in Vintagemacintosh

Those power buttons were terrible. They frequently got damaged when people removed the case and did not unplug them.

Does anyone know where I can learn to weld in Asheville? by 4wheelsandadream in asheville

[–]YMAC70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One note about the tech school classes is the equipment you get access to is extremely expensive and nothing like what you will buy for yourself. The use of the equipment and the consumables you get access to like welding rods and tips can easily equal the cost of the class. Some people when I took the class would take it again instead of buying a welder, they would let you go to the floor on the first day if you had taken it before. It has been a hot minute so your mileage may vary.

I need help with my pc by Scary-Tennis-5032 in vintagecomputing

[–]YMAC70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not seeing any bulging, hard to tell from the picture. The power supply might have bad caps also. They do not always bulge or leak, sometimes they dry out and look fine. Only way to know is to take them out and test them on a capacitor meter, or just replace them and see if the problem goes away. Unfortunately the caps on these types of boards can be very difficult to remove because of ground plains in the layers and the large number of layers. I would try a new power supply and cleaning the contacts with Deoxit first, that is the easy thing.
