Re: Moldy Apple Adventures
Haha yeah! I've done a lot of strange stuff in hotel rooms, but never before torn down a laptop to this extent and fully restored it. But it was all smooth sailing, surprisingly! I was kinda surprised that the internet sharing just worked straight away. I wonder if the original Apple thunderbolt att...

Re: Moldy Apple Adventures
So I scored a cheap Macbook Pro from mid 2012 on auction. I've been regretting selling the one I had years ago, so I was pleased to find one for a good price is very fair condition. It already had its original hard drive replaced with an SSD, ad the old hard drive put in an adapter where the optical...

Re: A couple of DIY shortwave radio receivers and a new antenna
I have thought about redoing and tidying up the wiring in the radio receiver I'm currently working on ever since I built it really.. It had always been an ugly hack job because I built it with pretty much no wire to use, so it all turned into a bodge job from the start. And several changes and addit...

Re: A couple of DIY shortwave radio receivers and a new antenna
Well, this took most of the fucking day, because as it turns out, that antenna design was not great. Well, it's good, but it's picky with what components you use, and I don't have all the exactly right ones. SO! I built another trashy ghetto-looking one that I don't dare to show (also because I don'...

IMG_3678.JPG I've been a ham radio operator for... wow, fuck, 15 years already?! Goodness. I should probably make a ham radio section on here. Anywhoos.

Re: Moldy Apple Adventures
It's funny how using an OS built for the period of the machine just works fine; even modern DE's won't run nicely on old hardware I find. How unnecessarily spoilt we have become. I was having a bit of a chuckle at the wallpaper; thats the sort of thing I would do :D Haha yeah, well, it would be ver...

Re: Moldy Apple Adventures
Huh, looks like I forgot to reply! Good tip about the boot command sequence. I didn't know you you could go straight to the latest version. That's much more convenient than version-hopping to the latest one. On the software front I'm using the following Firefox 115.14.0esr Limechat TextMate VLC iTun...
