Have you ever needed to quickly save huge (100MB+) PDFs as lower resolution versions in MacOS? Try this! 💡
Simply download these filters and put them into Mac HD > Library > PDF Services. Now in Preview etc., choose "Save As" and you have tons of PDF compression options!

I'm backing up a nearly full 2.5 TB external hard drive via USB 2.0, because when the drive is put in a SATA enclosure it gets sad.
This is such a slow, painful process... I'm copying stuff in small chunks to hopefully keep things happy.
But hey, at least I found my N-Gage QD phone backup! 🫠

The original floppy disk was previously unarchived, now it lives on via the Macintosh Garden, yay! 🐰

Here's a scan of my manual for the Z64 Mr. Backup device for the Nintendo 64 that used Zip disks to backup games/saves! 💾
I'll be playing around with this in a video at some point. This manual differed from the one I found online. 😮

If you used ShipStation as part of PayPal for packages/labels you may now have some subscription charge!
I had to call PayPal to figure this out as I have zero emails from ShipStation or any invoice regarding such a service. I don't even have a ShipStation account!
What a scam! 👎
