Anybody happen to have a Mac Quadra 700/900/950 and willing to run a simple Apple Sound Chip tester app I made and tell me the results? I'm curious about the behavior of the EASC. I'm trying to improve emulator behavior, but I don't have any of those models to test. github.com/dougg3/ASCTe...

UV flashlights are neat, because you can see burn-in really well. (Which ironically, is hard to capture on camera)

Picked up this cute little monitor off of a free pile. I need my head examined because I have no idea why. It is cute though

The neurodivergent struggle of wanting to get to know someone better, who's special in your life. But not knowing how or what questions to ask outside of relational experiences and trauma. It's hard

Does anyone else feel their heartbeat and blood rushing through their veins all the time 24/7? As an autistic person I do and it drives me nuts. Notice it even more when I'm sick

Time to fix a Macintosh Portable that was saved by Barbara Nelson. Demo unit. Used for about a year or so, and then stored away all these decades.

Got my childhood photos from my aunt when I went to dad's funeral. This is the most 90s shirt I think I have ever seen let alone me wearing it. I actually don't remember at all what I wore back then until looking at these photos of myself

Got OpenMediaVault working on Windows 98! But, with an insecure Samba config ofc. What I'd like to do is have two different samba configs on OMV split across the main lan and retro vlan, but I can't seem to find an easy way to do that. Going to have to containerize it as a bridge

Rest in peace you two. You will be sorely missed. If you have anyone in your life you remotely care about and love, PLEASE tell them you love them. They may not be here tomorrow, just like both of my parents.

You know the one thing that really sucks about life? Death. My dad passed away this morning, I just got the news. We weren't super close but he was still my dad and about the only one I talked to from my estranged family.
My dad made me who I am today. Gonna miss him.
