   A long time ago when I envisioned a "smart home of the future" I imagined using lots of sensors to control vents, windows, blinds, and HVAC to more efficiently heat and cool the house and optimize comfort in it while using less en

   I'd say the best PPC Mac will depend on exactly what you want to do on it. Fastest that can natively run OS 9 with full driver support is going to be the MDD. Best low cost and low space for tinkering is going to be the mini with the c

   It probably could? I was just talking about the waste aspect.

   I'm not sure how legislating the razor and blade business model would help with the bit about e-waste. The basic idea is simply that the product is sold at a loss but the consumables (ink, blades, vape cartridges) are sold with high m

    I'm more scared of macroplastics, a 2 ton hunk of plastic falling on you will kill you way faster.

    I was at a Mark Mulcahy show in Hamden, CT and he started covering a Magnetic Fields song, it was the only time in my life where I just screamed in fan excitement.

    Switching tabs doesn't seem to overwrite the vertical lines, I have pink and green pipes drawn on the 2nd and 3rd tab that were supposed to only be on the first one.

    I looked up this Brownstein protocol and the first result is the FTC taking action against the guy for making false medical claims by making up a crazy vitamin protocol and falsely advertising it as a way to prevent or cure coronavirus.

    I wouldn't mind these "smart" TVs so much if they didn't suck so much for regular use. Why does it take 30+ seconds for me to get my television turned on when I just want to use a gaming console plugged into one of the

    > Ultimately, camera-only vision systems will likely be the best solution, but until then, integrating LIDAR will get us much further. Why though? How could it possibly be better than camera plus other sensors?

    I use an eMac for this purpose. Available in similar configurations to the mini, the 1 ghz combo drive model and below can boot os 9 natively without the hacked os9lives version, and it comes with a beautiful 17 inch trinitron CRT built in

    Perhaps, but the fact that they needed to include that line almost defensively speaks to the culture, as if they had to justify why they were reading fiction books.

    I used to have a 4400/200 with the PC card and honestly loved the thing. It was my first Powermac and I could press cmd+enter to switch into windows 95, it felt so cool at the time.

    While I'm sure this is cool, I had to read a few typo filled paragraphs in to even start to get an idea of what the heck Box64 and Box86 are (some kind of emulator it seems from the comparison to Rosetta?)
