Manjaro on my pinebook pro up and crapped out at the start of the weekend. The most recent update + mainline uboot do not get along. Finally got everything back in working order by installing uboot bsp. Unfortunately I had to do a fresh install as well
It’s a small thing, but I really love Trader Joe’s hatch chile mac and cheese for lunch
I have really been enjoying the Mac version of Epyx Rogue this week. The mouse-centric game play is super nostalgic of the 68k Mac period
I really like the keyboard on the Pinebook Pro. It’s inexpensive, but the keys have a lot of travel and it’s just so satisfying to type on it. Reminds me a lot of typing on my Mac Plus
I am really digging Manjaro Linux, especially its package manager. So low fuss compared to the debian-derivatives I have used in the past
I’m impressed with the Pinebook Pro for how inexpensive it is. Happy to have a laptop I can tinker with
Huh. Surprisingly easy to install Mac OS 9 on an unsupported PPC Mac
The performance delta between the first and last gen 12 inch PowerBook is pretty crazy. The last gen model is quite usable by current standards, the first gen is not at all
30+ years of debris including some sort of insect nest and signs of spilled soda. A little grossed out I’ve been typing on this 🤢
It’s so strange that the Mac Plus’s keyboard has an exposed IC underneath the space bar
I really can’t get over how good Figma is. It must be one of the nicest web apps ever made
Well that’s a first. I had an extension cord stored in my toolbox, and I think it reacted with something else in there because when I took it out the extension cord was putting off a foul smell
Disturbed to have gone to the park and seen almost no one wearing masks. Feels like we’ve run out of patience for being ‘inconvenienced’ by the pandemic
Writing on a compact Mac is just so pleasant. There are absolutely no distractions. No internet, no multitasking, not even inline spell checking. But you still get a nice rich text editor with a high quality keyboard.
So happy that the latest Pixaki update makes selections with the pencil not glitchy
I have been thoroughly enjoying Doc Cosmos for the C64 this week. It’s a platformer with an amazing soundtrack where you jump between timelines to solve challenges in search of an alien device
I finally pulled the trigger this weekend and deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts. I didn’t really use them, but with the latest revelations about Facebook it did not feel right to keep them
Found a copy of MousePaint that works with my particular Apple //c hardware. Very nostalgic feeling to make black and white pixel art
Man, the original FireWire charger for the iPod is huge! It’s about the size of the power adapter for the 12 inch MacBook. One of the subtle ways that technology has advanced in the last two decades
If only social distancing prevented food poisoning 😑
Still have this “CD-ROM Discman” from when I was a kid. It’s both a SCSI drive and a portable CD player. It has way more features than I remembered! It does shuffle and two levels of bass
Oh no, my USB floppy drive has up and died 👻
Really wish there was a modern device like the HP 100LX. It runs on two AA batteries which last months with regular usage
The Teensyboy Pro is just about the coolest thing ever
