So apparently imax theaters ran off of palm pilots for the quick turn reel unit. And nowadays, rather than having it run off a microcontroller or PC or raspberry pi or iPad, they just run a palm OS emulator? Lmao

@Zoom nvm blocked their email address in our mail filter, but randomly emailing every person at our domain repeatedly trying to sell them the zoom phone system is a good way to ensure that we do not look at the zoom phone system ever

@Zoom can you guys stop emailing my companies end users trying to sell them a phone system?

@gutbomb @TracketPacer also, a rare shot of the inside old sonicwall NSA2600 chassis+psu, an ATX to LC psu adapter, 5 pin trailer harness for "quick powersupply disconnect" ability, and a bunch of hotglue, hopes, and dreams

@gutbomb @TracketPacer The beauty shot

well now that i am a mother to a macintosh LC i guess i ought to finally build an actual home lab

@gutbomb @TracketPacer i love the cobalt raq

@torbar @TracketPacer lol the cobalt raq

@ijoshuajohnson @nojustpat even cheaper at webresturauntstore $103 for 72(if one was in the market for such things)

@nojustpat You can buy qty in bulk and get it down to ~$1.46 a cup... amazon.com/Carlisle-FoodS…

The Carlisle 522007 stackable 20 oz is the best cup ever created

@gutbomb @TracketPacer also i just realized that 2nd supermicro server has been turned on with nothing plugged into it for who knows how long. oops

@trifco @MacRumors screw "x", i will never not call twitter twitter

Toshiba laptop design really peaked here.

@SauerSteve @cb3_rob46858 @kmcnam1 yeah, as far as non-managed switches go, those little 5 port netgear switches(or even the 8/12 port ones) are rock solid. Never had one fail. Have had both the fast ethernet ones and the gigabit ones

@cb3_rob46858 @kmcnam1 I've only had to get rid of Netgear switches because they became obsolete. I don't know how you're treating yours, but they're about as good or bad as anything else out there.

If you take a picture of a Raspberry Pi 2 with a strong flash it will reboot. A specific power regulator (U16) was chip-scale packaged to save on cost and die space. Since the silicon is basically naked, a xeon flash can cause a massive (but very short) current spike.

@ClassicII_MrMac i had that model too but it had the stupid butterfly keyboard issues and became mostly useless after a few years(which of course the extended coverage for that issue was ended before I found out about it)

@torbar Agreed, but I felt a little bad ripping on its younger brother. Plus it had this model: Not like the row of keys instead of the Touch Bar was enough to save but... 😅

I'm in a ranting mood today😤 The 2016-2019 15" MacBook Pro was the biggest piece of shit laptop that Apple ever released.

BMW’s latest “innovation” isn’t about performance or safety. It’s a logo-shaped screw designed to keep owners out of their own cars. We dug into the patent, the intent behind it, and why @adafruit is already working on a custom bit to undo BMW’s attempt to block repair.

@codejake @linusgsebastian @jakkuh_t He was, but you couldn’t see him because he was standing behind the Mac mini

@linusgsebastian @jakkuh_t I’ve never seen Linus in the same room as a Mac mini. Just saying.

they’re replacing him with a Mac Mini
