My 2005 Mac Mini 1.25GHz PowerPC G4 still works. So does my 2006 Power Mac G5. Including the recapped Mac 512K. I am both a PC and Mac user, with quite a bit of hardware over the last 20+ years. For me, my Macs typically have out lasted my

Took a slightly different approach for my gate, about a decade ago. Took apart one of the RF controller fobs, and wired it using a cheap relay from Aliexpress, and hooked it up to a Rpi's GPIO pins. Wrote a simple python code to contro

You still retain the ability to load the APK and use the app, even if ByteDance withdraws from the US market. What ByteDance should not be able to do is profiteering and monetising while aiding and abetting pro-Chinese propaganda on their p

Nice. Thank you. Craig is a wonderful and generous guy, and a great teacher/professor. He noticed that I was looking to learn as much as I can about graphics programming (I was doing Comp Sci) and gave me access to some neat toys, incl

Craig Hickman was my Prof at UofO. Took his Digital Arts class in 1986 for one quarter and wrote an early proto color paint program inspired by MacPaint, on a Graphics Frame Store system that uses serial port to communicate with a Mac 128K.

As a south asian who grew up on hot curries, these Korean spicy ramens are at another level of spiciness. Extreme torture both on the ingress and egress.

Family had a Braun Mixer type 4142 when I was growing up and I used to marvel at the design. Clean lines, subtle curves, the stark simplicity of the dial. Had no idea who Dieter Rams was and his design legacy at Braun. Bought a Braun Aetlie

Apple should not call it a camera stuck on the iGlass. It should simply be an optical input device for the multi-modal AI system and should never be allowed for photo or video taking. That way, folks will know that the device will not infri

It is HN after all with its notable bias against all things Apple. Never figured out why. My first fews months of my time on HN can be best described by the famous XKCD strip per link below. Foolhardy attempts as I soon realised. https:&#x
