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!

LOL, the more data that is copied, the more the remaining time extends... 🤣

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! 🫠

I found and archived my original disk of Reader Rabbit! 💾

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

Currently observing yours while watching ours licking their pen walls in search of any residual banana flavor. 🍌

Freshly scanned & archived! ✨

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. 😮

100% agree!

They can't even render their stupid page correctly (see top left), what a joke...

Heads up! 📦

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! 👎
