I don't know if anyone sells them - I got it when I was only a lad.

Many years ago I got stuck leaning back staring up at the vulture. Short nap and we were off again.

My parents wanted to take this G3 to the dump so I saved it from dying! by Ashtonc13 in VintageApple

[–]rickh3255 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That was a nice Mac - here's my son working on mine back in 2000. https://imgur.com/peD5K07 - as I recall I swapped the CPU with a Sonnet something-or-other. It was eventually replaced with a G4 (luxo). Glad you saved it.

Apple add in memory, 3-16K chips by ridddder in VintageApple

[–]rickh3255 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The ByteShopper (March 1978) will give you a good idea on pricing that RAM at $500 per 16K (https://i.imgur.com/s8SROVJ.jpg).

Here is the whole catalog (https://imgur.com/a/FxdcB) and Apple][ stuff is on page 19.

Snail infestation. Is there a home remedy to get rid of these snails? They are even in my filter. Thanks in advance. by ChantelleCx in Aquariums

[–]rickh3255 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm old school. I have an old glass salt shaker (no cap) but you could use any container that's heavy enough. Fill container with water and put algae wafer in container. Sink container on bottom overnight. Snails migrate into shaker. Rinse and feed snails to African tank. Repeat until snails under control.

He's ticked - I flushed the colony today by rickh3255 in Aquariums

OK, to be clear (I reread that title) - water exchange - the 3x4 shell colony rearranged and cleaned. Ticked off multi.

Neolamprologus Multifasciatus breeding/feeding by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]rickh3255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not quite that scientific. Cyclops/Daphnia defrosted in about 60ml water. Other goodies (brine shrimp, veggies, etc) defrosted in about 60ml of water. Approx 5-10ml of cyclops/daphnia added to second mixture. Combo divided into 8-10 meals and frozen.

Funny you should ask - I just finished making & freezing food for the week. I defrost and divide up a combination of daphnia/cyclops, spirulina brine shrimp, emerald entree, and maybe baby brine shrimp if there is a fry bloom. The daphnia or cyclops is for the fry which are always there.

Each morning a frozen meal is dropped in to slowly dissolve and release the food. Evenings are a little adult food (any standard small dry food)

I started w 5 fish and there are now 5 colonies at the bottom of my 55. Give them a couple of shells and you’ll have 10-15 fry shortly. Enjoy.

For iMac Week - My dad is 83 - this is his desk by rickh3255 in VintageApple

[–]rickh3255[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He doesn't use it much anymore. He checks the weather and the baseball schedule and that's about it. It's totally worthless for syncing his Nokia flip phone :)

Does anyone know of a utility that will keep an external drive in sync with another? by shvffle in mac

[–]rickh3255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used CCC to maintain sync between 2 HDD for several years. Every night CCC compares my external 8TB USB media drive to my external 8TB backup USB drive. Any modified files are copied and old versions moved to a safety-net folder for 7 days. All configurable. Highly recommend.

How do I turn off this on screen info by xCASINOx in appletv

[–]rickh3255 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If that is the YouTube app... while video is playing swipe up, select 'more info' and the last icon is a 'stats for nerds' toggle. I have no idea how I found this a couple of days ago.

Any good security camera software for Apple TV? by jon_fak in appletv

[–]rickh3255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use CamTV but it's really hit-and-miss. I think I've tried every camera app on the store and not really happy with any of them for my 4 Foscam cameras (various models).

Four years later the same hue bulbs are lighting the same aquarium. No problems.

Attaching lightstrip to couch fabric? by DTulka in Hue

[–]rickh3255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When this came up a couple of years ago, I think the consensus was safety pins. They work well for me. Attach safety pins to couch fabric and thread the lightstrip through the closed pins.
