Pleased to confirm that bringing an Apple IIgs as carry-on through airport security gets you pulled off to the side. :apple_inc:

I took a Quadra 630 in a carry on bag back from VCFMW last year

Packed with whatever I could find around 😂

Amazingly they didn't open the bag to inspect or anything!

You'd think that if these views were organic (and not simply paid for), that they wouldn't all be within a few hundred of each other... it's almost like his entire YouTube channel was just another way for @gwssrox to try and trick people into trusting him?

@RonsCompVids @gwssrox

Yes, it’s quite telling how the videos have that many views and then only maybe 10-20 comments

Look at the amount of comments on videos in the past few months since we’ve found out about him, less than 10 each but still over 1K views each

It's always a pleasure to open an addition to the collection and find it's brand new inside.

Something that blows my mind messing with old iPods is the longevity of some of the batteries. I just pulled this battery with a datecode of 2003-05-09 and I'd say it still holds a usable charge. Maybe not the same longevity as it had when new, but definitely still enough to pass muster and not necessitate replacement right now. Not even swelling a little bit.

Only replaced it because I found the corpse of my other 3rd gen and I forgot it had a low use battery on it, so I swapped it in.

@garthbeagle@bitbang.social avatar

@NanoRaptor @xodium yup, I’ve got a Wallstreet that has a working battery, at least about 1.5hrs worth of charge
