  Grrr. As if doing a hard drive swap in a G3 iBook isn’t bad enough, there’s a leaky super cap waiting.

  I deleted my post about the NH guy, since I probably misinterpreted a love for AI slop and a confusing sense of humor as MAGA. Apologies for the false alarm.

  On Saturday's noon EDT stream, we're going to play with @polpo's latest invention: the PicoIDE (a Raspberry Pi-based IDE emulator). The goal is to add this to my wood / glass /enameled wire single board 486. Let's see how easy / hard it is to set up and use! #vintagecomputing https://youtube.com/live/AFylWhSrfSY?feature=share

  I made a YT short to document the impact of changing the resistors on the bottom of a Kingston TurboChip 486 upgrade CPU. Turns out R10 -> R8 makes a difference to the L1 cache speed! #vintagepc #vintagecomputing https://youtube.com/shorts/VB251661X4c?feature=share

  No Saturday stream this week, so I'm going to try to sneak in a Friday afternoon 3:00 EDT stream. We'll check out a couple supposedly sad Newer Technology MAXpowr G3 upgrade boards for the Power Mac 6100. #vintagemac https://youtube.com/live/SgHDaMtyteQ?feature=share

  Reminder that I will be picking a winner for the Macintosh POOci on this weekend’s stream, so make sure to enter before then! https://youtu.be/alMlDvB1r9o

  On Saturday's noon stream, we'll do some work on this lot of #vintagemac computers that I paid $200 for: a decent LC575, a juicy IIci, and a Quadra 610 that I haven't looked at yet. And we need to pick the winner of the POOci! https://youtube.com/live/exViLaaT8IY?feature=share

  In ~2018 Steve Bannon verbalized the GOP strategy of “flooding the zone with shit”. Essentially, in the absence of creating anything good or productive, just do A LOT. Apparently that’s my YouTube strategy. Thanks for tuning in y’all!

  I have to hand it to @iiidiy , he sure knows how to make a board look deceptively good! His SE/30 will be a fun project starting this weekend!

• Post #1830067

  On Saturday's noon EDT stream, we're going to start work on @iiidiy 's deceptively clean SE/30 logic board. I also bought a couple microscope cameras to try to hopefully improve my microscope streaming quality. Let's do a mini camera shootout! #vintagemacintosh #vintagemac https://youtube.com/live/D5Vab18fW00?feature=share

  The VOD of yesterday's stream is back up. I had to pull it due to me being a moron (sorry for the big blur part way through). But overall it was a fun one! #vintagemac #vintagemacintosh https://youtube.com/live/D5Vab18fW00?feature=share

  Oooh! Need to watch this. I love hate working on these! From: @socketwench https://masto.hackers.town/@socketwench/116472835904089746

  No stream for me this weekend (say hi if you see me at #vcfpnw !), but I made a small video testing whether AI-recommended NPN transistors will work in repairing this AT power supply. This is my first real video 😬 Https://youtu.be/MIPQX2TrwJc

  I think this is a testament to the kind of life-long learners that the Hampshire environment helped foster. To everyone in the Hampshire community: Thank you ❤️ (3/3)

  A few weeks ago, I bought a couple microscope cameras to try to improve the quality of my streaming setup. One arrived today and might be more powerful than I anticipated 🤣

  I have been a professor at Hampshire for 15 years, and it has been the most incredible, stressful, exhausting, and rewarding time in my life. I am incredibly fortunate to have worked with so many inspiring staff and faculty. But the students are really what made this place what it was. I was pushed to learn more and grow as a person every day. (1/3) https://apnews.com/article/hampshire-college-closing-ken-burns-d2cc7834ead91f6220d1b17b980453b7

  #VintageMac I picked up this Macintosh IIci to do a giveaway for hitting 2048 subscribers. But when we opened it, it was mouse-bombed. YT short showing the mess and beginning of cleanup: https://youtube.com/shorts/ShWveHI-jeU?si=hygENrd_4jIpTm9p

• Post #1133635

  The Macintosh POOci has cleaned up pretty nicely. Aside from the startup circuit area, the logic board looks good. On Saturday's noon EDT stream, we're going to recap the board and PSU and announce its giveaway. (We might need to do a little work on the cache card) #vintagemac #vintagemacintosh https://youtube.com/live/alMlDvB1r9o?feature=share

  While I was able to sort of stream from a #vintagemacintosh yesterday, I did fail at my #Marchintosh goal of streaming from my Quadra 950. If anyone has any very old versions of Avid Film / Media Composer prior to version 5.5 (under the old naming convention), please reach out!

  For the end of #marchintosh, we're going to work on the worst Macintosh all-in-one: the LC580. And I'll try to stream from my Power Mac 6200 for as long as we can stand it. Saturday noon EDT. https://youtube.com/live/tQW32BTHOls?feature=share

  #VintageMac Finally got a battery-bombed Macintosh SE/30 logic board repaired for @DavesVintageAppleTech ! Thank you @garthbeagle ! Thank you @jack68k ! (Youtube short) https://youtube.com/shorts/ja88Jz3SWSk?si=gT-s9JmmAgDXr8nm

  #vintagemacintosh March is quickly approaching, and I need to get my Quadra 950 ready for a special Marchintosh project. So on Saturday's noon EST stream, let's recap its massive power supply. https://youtube.com/live/XzLKSdn-3rc?feature=share
