A Bulletin Board from the backside of the internet

So I've already posted a bunch of very random updates all over the forum, and I have many more random thoughts written down in the Stickies app. I think I'm gonna do a bigger post on my blog with the summary/conclusion, but meanwhile post smaller / more regular brain dumps here. - Intro: https://bb....

With less back pain. lol. I'm definitely not the one laughing, I've been seeing laptops as something between necessary evil and an insidious trap for a while now. The back is better when it's straight, the wrists happier in a more natural position, etc. Gonna throw this one in for inspiration: http...

Oh my, I was looking to purchase my first new laptop around 2007/8; but a median machine of that era was just a pile of shiny trash (glossy screens, yuck!), so ended up getting a second-hand Thinkpad ^^ Around that time, Asus made a really cool move to bring the insanely cheap EEE PC to the market -...

I've found the OS getting sort of micro-stuttery and not very responsive if you drive really high resolutions. At least when I ran dual 1080p monitors on my G5 Powermac I had ...

PowerBook G4 / Mac OS X 10.5.8 checking in... I might update this post as I go along. Many stock/system apps work really well, at least for my current needs. These include: - Finder - Terminal - iTunes (playing music, ripping CDs, encoding ALAC...) - Stickies (great for cheat sheets, drafts/note-tak...

Hello everyone! It's my second time participating in the challenge; I joined for the first time in 2022 (for v2) and mostly just used it as an excuse to stay completely offline the whole time ;) My setup for 2024 is documented here: https://www.rollc.at/posts/2024-07-02-tibook/ TL;DR: PowerBook G4 8...
