I like anime and manga.

Gunpla is fun!

Computers are fun too, sometimes.

Video games can entertain…

I blog now!

I can code.

This should be updated further at some point really. Or should it?

All my upgrades work. Now to put everything back together tomorrow

The G3 accelerator is not the highest end only at 217 MHz, but it will be faster than a 100 MHz 601

System profiler with the G3 accelerator and memory installed
Testing the upgrades before putting everything back together

Besides getting lunch, I finally got the emissions test on my car, which is done every two years done too. All is good.

@chikorita157 Think MN had it, but a certain controversial Governor got rid of it. Sweden has it.

It’s not great to see the dangerous rust buckets on the roads here, and I don’t even want to think about their breaks. I drive as if everyone is about to do something stupid, and it’s a good policy.

@chikorita157 Volvos were common back in the day for sure. But Gheely being an owner hasn’t been a good thing.

Here in MN I don’t see them too often. Just now and then. Lots of trucks though:/

Finally got the logic board out without breaking any plastics (knock on wood), and removed the old battery which haven’t gone off yet and upgraded the ram.

Need to figure out how to take the cache card out (so I can get video with the G3 accelerator) before testing everything before putting it back together

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 What is that contraption in the middle?

And remember, if it’s needed, make sure to repaste :) Might only need to do it with the accelerator I guess.

@chikorita157 The thing in red there. Is that the original CPU? And does those things connect with something?

@chikorita157 Peltier, that’s pretty crazy-pants.

yon,
@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 It’s just such an unusual solution. Haven’t heard of any in a long time now to be honest.

Would be interesting to combine peltier with water cooling. Cool down the water and do it at the end of the system.

Wish I could get a GPU with an AiO water cooler. Those fans sounds like ass:/

I did get the Newer Tech G3 card installed, but no video. Looks like I do need to pull the cache card as I'm having the same issue of no video from the AV card.as seen in this video featuring the same G3 accelerator card.

The 8100 is pain in the neck though. Should have probably picked up a 8600 instead, if there was any reasonably priced and good shape. I’ll figure it out on Sunday, and probably get a bottle of plastic cement if I need to glue anything back.

There is an interrupt switch I need to pull out, before I can slide and drop them other board.

@chikorita157 Hey, this does not compute is from around my parts :)

If you are going to a hobby store, you should bring home a nice Gundam too:) :)

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 For what it’s worth, the hobby cement they sell isn’t special, just expensive.

I think someone used acetone as well. To fuse plastic. Same idea, melts together.

Good luck!

PS Gundam.

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 I’d like to try a few out, but I assume they are mostly simple fighting games and the likes.

Really wish we could get a “big” Gundam game where it feels big and impressive. But I fear Bamco doesn’t do AAA:(

@chikorita157 Have LTT blocked on YouTube, not watching and giving him attention/money again.

I’d probably click around and muck about a bit and then loose interest :)

If it wasn’t too much Japanese though it could be a useful learning tool. Been wanting to try learning that way. It’s one of few ways I can learn languages.

@chikorita157 Sidenote. Pretty crazy that we aren’t seeing mobile games on the AppleTV. Such a weird low hanging fruit fail for Apple.

Should be able to play Genshin or Honkai for instance (not that I Gacha, but those two are by far the most popular gacha mobile games afaik).

I still wish Nintendo could have gotten an Apple chip (though I believe that means no backwards compatibility. The way they wrote their “OS” is super bonkers when you read about it.)

The question would be, would Steve Jobs release such an commercial?

I have my doubts.

@chikorita157 If you look at the famous 1984 ad, then this is the 180 to that.

Destroy the gray and suppressive in favor of the creative. But now it’s destroy the creative for, what?

Apple used to be the pirates that was all about creativity and learning. That is imho gone.

One never knows in a guessing game. But I would take my chances with Jobs Apple vs what we have today.

@chikorita157 The future is sadly grim:/

The M4 Geekbench 6 scores are out for the new M4, and well benchmarks don't exactly translate to real life performance, it's interesting how much performance increase there is.

Also, the M4 is slightly faster as an M2 Pro. However, I think the GPU scores is a different story since the M4 has fewer GPU cores, although it beats the M1 Pro.

yon,
@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 If I ever get an M4 computer I’m going to compile so hard. Hope the disk is fast too:)

I wonder if the computer M4s going to show up in different configurations. Not sure where Apple is heading here.

Well apart from some vague mumbling about AI. But we don’t know what that means. I mean AI isn’t just about processing power (which the neural engine seems to have) but also storage (size and speed). But we also don’t know what kind of product Apple is talking about. A Siri that isn’t shit would be a good start. A Siri turned chatbot and generator, you can keep that one Apple.

yon,
@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 AI is such a BS term as well. Can mean so much.

There’s a lot of stuff like visual effects, photo manipulation (some better, some worse), processing lidar and such. I’m sure the neural processor (or what they call it) could be quite useful there. I’m hoping the hardware will end up being useful.

But that whole crappy “let’s figure out how to reduce payroll to pool the money for the rich” AI schtick can go hide imho.

(I wonder if it could help with games. That would be neat!)

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 Same with GPUs. I really would want to see a reduction in energy use.

(A bit because it’s annoying, but also because we could phase out fossil fuels faster if we started to tax excessive energy use etc.)

yon,
@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 Feels like they are out of ideas and are just pushing stuff at an unreasonable pace. Doesn’t help that all completion is virtually gone:/

Still curious about those Chinese ones. Could end up being endlessly terribad. Or we get something we’d never expect and a leap. Time will tell.

@Sharkey Quick question. Was playing around with Sharkey and docker compose and ran into some issues (the files seems identical on misskey).

Where would be a decent “forum” to ask questions and such? No promises but it might turn into PRs as well. Would love to get the helm charts up to speed too.

(Realized I have zero open source presence, and could dearly use one. So that’s where this comes from:) Would love to get some PRs in. 25 years in the software game now, so it’s about time.)

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@Sharkey I get PTSD from IRC:)

Where would I find the discord? I tried finding it earlier:(

(For the record I’m boring. A.k.a. non-LGBT+ but trying my best to be an ally. Just want to make sure I don’t stomp into some safe space by mistake. Worst thing I’d do is like go more than rust:))

Planning to do the G3 Accelerator and RAM upgrade tomorrow or Sunday on the Power Macintosh 8100. Need to get a bottle of adhesive to repair any “Spindler Plastic" from a hobby store tomorrow

I have ordered a bunch of old Macintosh games in Japanese, including some anime games, which surprisingly had a Windows and a Mac version back then. Yes, there are lots, those that aren't even archived on the Macintosh Garden or Repository. Yes, there were the Pippin games (Apple's and Bandai's failed video game console), most that can run on a Power Macintosh, but a lot of anime related stuff, but only in Japanese only.

I do plan to have these uploaded eventually for preservation, meaning you can run them with Infinite Mac or your own vintage Mac, eventually.

@chikorita157 Doing anything to the PSU?

(And for the love of all anime goddesses, unless you truly know how to mess with them don’t. Rather point out the obvious than the opposite. High voltage is scary.)
