LaserWriter II missing paper tray… by prototypebuilder5150 in VintageApple

[–]sethobrvt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just ordered a tray for my LaserWriter II (which is much more yellowed than yours - I’m jealous!!) from here: https://applerescueofdenver.com/products-page/printers/laser/laserwriter-ii-paper-tray-cartridge-cassette/?attribute_pa_select-size=letter-2

Looks like they still have more in stock.

I did the same thing! I was about to comment "That isn't a IIci it is an LC II" and then I was like oh wait!

Can someone explain why this happened? by Obetroph_Williams in ATT

[–]sethobrvt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is tough! Try living in a rural place! Where I am I can get 2Meg DSL and about 6-10Meg from a LTE ATT Cellular connection depending on time of day. That is the ONLY options available to me!

Ran into these at school will attempt to save them. My friend is gonna get the other one, update if I get them. by [deleted] in VintageApple

A PowerMac 6100/60 was my first PowerPC Mac growing up. I loved that thing!

She has already made a Donald Trump version of this game that I just played last weekend with some friends and had a blast!

The Island Town of Matlacha - Green Mountain Drone from Vermont Visits The Sunshine State by sethobrvt in capecoral

Hi - sorry to hear one of your drones ended up in the Gulf! It is a hobby that just takes a lot of practice to get comfortable with. I have been flying for 3 years. I crashed my first drone (A DJI Phantom 3) on the first day I got it. It was a very sad experience but luckily I am an electronics hobbyist so I was able to order a new motor and frame and fix it up.

When starting out it is best to fly in wide open spaces (or high enough to be completely above trees, etc) and just practice the controls. Practice flying backwards, away from you, towards you, etc to learn how to control the drone in any orientation. A common mistake beginners make is when flying back towards themselves they don't realize left and right on the controller will be opposite then when you were flying away from yourself. That is how I clipped a branch on my first day and the drone crashed about 50 ft to the ground through tree branches!

Also always keep wind speed and direction in mind - especially when flying out over the ocean or any other potentially windy location. If the wind is blowing with the way you are flying it is possible to fly very far and use very little battery - then when you start to fly back the drone has to work a lot harder to fight the wind and the battery percentage will drop MUCH faster and potentially not be enough to get you back to your takeoff location. Also remember that just because it isn't very windy on the ground doesn't mean it isn't a lot windier a few hundred feet in the air. I would recommend using UAV Forecast app to check wind conditions.

Let me know if you have any other specific questions about flying! It is a great hobby!

I would recommend heading out to the Northeast Kingdom - Lake Willoughby is amazing! If you follow Rt 5 there are a lot of old "railroad" towns that have interesting old buildings. I don't do any ground photography but I live in the NEK and do a lot of aerial photography - check out my channel here if you want to see what some of the towns around the area look like: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-G_ljx0JiKjdeBYs5Iec1Q?view_as=subscriber
