It must be a tiny minority of iPhone users who have any idea what this “Q” logo is that shows up when they open an audio file on the web or in full screen
So this #Newton MessagePad 130 showed up on PayPay Fleamarket for $45. Never seen a Newton go for this cheap in Japan (even with massive a black screen burn spot), and they're rare to show up to begin with.
The photos didn't show the screen, but revealed some bad battery leakage (which was also disclosed in the description), but I figured at least it could be used for parts (my pen on my 120 has lost it's end cap!)
I gave the battery contacts a quick wipe down with vinegar, and..
It runs!!! Success!! My first Newton OS 2.0 device.
There’s still a bunch of corrosion in the battery contacts though since I can’t get in behind them, I’m going to want to remove it and leave it in a vinegar bath overnight or something.
Does anyone have any hints on removing the battery contacts to clean them? Are they soldered to the logic board or something?
I was messing around with my network today and spotted something funny - the Ubiquiti UniFi dashboard will actually by default classify Apple Internet Router/AURP in it’s traffic logs and even has a little custom icon for it!
Jon Stewart: “[Apple] wouldn't let us do even that dumb thing we just did in the first act on AI. Like, what is that sensitivity? Why are they so afraid to even have these conversations out in the public sphere?"
Ran across this old pro-Mac comic called “Hey, Stuff This!”. Downloaded all the strips from 1995-1998 that the wayback machine had and put on Blackbird in BaroNet on #GlobalTalk so you can get your yuks on 1996-style
Me and @scj have been debugging an issue with AIRConfig for #GlobalTalk, and at the current stage it looks like the actual problem is not AIRConfig, but MacTCP/System 7.1 #MARCHintosh
The problem manifests itself with a long run of “The host name [] is unknown” errors in the Router Log window when starting up the router
It appears this happens when trying to resolve too many domains with CNAMEs in a row. (1/3)
I haven't seen this error despite using DNS names wherever possible. (My personal one is an A record)
One thing I do get though is a lot of this line spammed in my log. It's always the same. No clue what it means but it seems to be cosmetic cause everything works. I didn't start getting it till a few days ago I think.
