Il y a 20 ans je venais de recevoir mon tout premier #Mac, un #iMac #G5 et je suivais les #JO depuis mon Mac grâce à #EyeTV, JO qui étais à #Turin. et 20 ans plus tard ils sont de nouveaux en #Italie et je les suis de nouveau depuis mon Mac mais aussi depuis mon iPhone.

Le temps passe SI VITE ! #nostalgie 😔

Y’all. Take just a moment to forget everything humanity has ever done, and watch the amazing G5 geomagnetic storm as it rips through our fragile air bubble.

That our puny race of hairless apes has survived aeons despite everything the universe throws at us, well surely it’s a mathematical improbability. Well done everybody! Take the 23rd off.

Live feed from some random dude’s backyard, and it’s honestly amazing.

Live feed via Afar.tv from Grindavik, Iceland. Also volcano too maybe on same feed. I think they’re switching cameras as sky conditions change. They have other feeds on their channel if one clouds over.

All G2 networks in SR SA have been shutdown till further notice

That means for ever.

Apart from the fact that I cannot choose this gorgeous G2 phone anymore, to play music on the road, BT, I will not be able to wonder how much technology was put in such a small phone
This is not Nostalgia because there's a lot of those phones that I used and they all need to be quote unquote smartphones now

Stumbled over this picture today. She's been gone for so long now.
We kids grew up with her. She was so patient and good-natured and our mother always said that she did not choose the kitten - the kitten did choose my mother.
Well, Christmas is coming and I'm getting sentimental again. ^_^

Cam was my Canon Powershot G5. Gosh that feels like a different life.

The image shows a close-up of a cat's face with striking green eyes partially open. The cat appears to be resting comfortably.

A leaked longer version of the US #NationalSecurityStrategy reportedly names countries which the Trump regime thinks can be removed from the EU and made into MAGA vassal states. It also calls for 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇮🇹🇪🇺 to be kicked out of the #G7. A new 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳🇯🇵🇮🇳 #G5 would be created.

The four leaders MAGA has targ...

Ok, had a weekend off and relaxed yesterday night doing some retro computing.
Installed #MacOSXServer #Tiger on the old #PowerMac #G5. Luckily I remembered that this machine does boot from a USB pen drive when ones uses the right commands in #OpenFirmware.

Services started: #blojsom and the #WebObjects server.

A browser screenshot of blojsom on Mac OS X Server, already showing quite some text I'm going to repeat in this thread.

Yesterday evening I unceremoniously and sadly deleted, one by one, every app every photo every video and every document - all data from icloud - using a lovely pink iPad Mini.

The day before was the same, for several iphones, then a purged Apple Watch too. The laptops were before, long ago. My favorite was the 1Ghz Titanium G4 PowerBook - I'll always miss that perfection.

So, goodbye to modern Apple Inc. I loved your ways and means, your engineering prowess, industrial design, and the inspiration in every direction offered over so many decades.

I'm keeping the water-cooled Quad Core G5 PowerMac (PPC64 970MP A1177). You can attempt to pry it from my cold dead hands alongside a GP101... but please do not touch that one last, beautiful, and forever best example of IBM + Apple innovation - before Apple leadership sold out to Intel, pushed upon every emacs user the worthless Touchbar, and the scissor-chicklet keyboards with a lawsuit. But never forget Liquidass, crowning achievement and example of Apple's downfall.

How sad; sorry about your demise, Apple. I'll miss who you once were.

Reitero il mio appello: adottate un #PowerMac #G5 :ancomheart:

Potete anche togliere la motherboard e mettere nel case strafico una dozzina di Arduini…

Venite a prenderlo, ve ne prego!

Chi dice che un vecchio #PowerMac #G5 non serve più?

Come contrappeso per tendere lo striscione #StuzzicaMenti va benissimo!

Se qualche persona lo vuole (allego foto senza sto cazzo di sole) basta che venga a prenderselo: ha da sostituire il supporto della batteria interna, ma nel prezzo (gratis) sono comprese un paio di birre.

Striscione Stuzzicamenti tenuto fermo da un elastico da portapacchi passato sotto al PowerMac G5, che si vede poco.
Chi dice "Che bel sole hai in officina!" deve morire male.

Given the open source nature of Open Firmware, I'm surprised features like USB boot capability haven't been backported to older New World Macs by the community.

I have no idea if current builds would fit on 1 MB ROM present in New World Macs, or how much headroom there is for deployment of a modern OFW ROM image for even more ambitious projects without resorting to hardware mods.

Por fin #SEC tendrá 9 partidos conferenciales como el resto de conferencias P4.
Un acierto también para medir la fortaleza del calendario.
Eso sí una pena para los equipos + pequeños #G5 #FCS q tienen menos posibilidades de jugar contra grandes equipos y ganar $

Kingston Fury Renegade G5 Lightning Review: Gen5 Comes To Kingston Products #furyrenegade #g5 #hardware #kingston #lightningreviews #reviews #storage

( #PowerMac #G5 #Mac)

Okay fedi, see if you can help me out with this.

I have a 1.8GHz Dual Processor PowerMac G5, PCI, running 10.4 Tiger.

4 RAM slots, takes DDR sticks. Each slot has a PC3200U stick in it, 1GB each for 4GB total. Maximum it can handle is 4GB.

With all four sticks in, it only recognises two. Sometimes DIMM0/1 works, sometimes DIMM2/3 works. System always shows only 2GB RAM. I have tried the following:

One stick at a time (2 flashing lights)
Two sticks at a time (2 flashing lights)
Three sticks at a time (once it flashed 3 times, once it booted with 0/1 not working but 2/3 working)
All four sticks at a time (boots, with two slots not working)
Switching sticks around (two are Kingston sticks, two are Crucial. Tried swapping them around, switching between pairs, no change)
Cleaning the slots with contact cleaner
Cleaning the sticks with contact cleaner and WD-40
Trying all the slots with various configurations. Sometimes 0/1 works with 2/3 dead, sometimes 0/1 is dead whilst 2/3 works.

I am at a complete loss as to what’s going on. Clearly all 4 sticks of RAM work, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why it won’t recognise all four.

Has it just finally bit the dust or am I being stupid? As far as I know all 4 sticks worked when it was put into storage a couple of years ago.

#MacOSXTiger a été la version sur laquelle j'ai débarqué en arrivant dans le monde #Apple et je me souviens encore très bien de ce bonheur sur mon #iMac #G5 (fin 2005). À cette époque être sur Mac avait un "goût" différent et plus agréable. C'est difficile à expliquer mais le plaisir était plus grand je crois.
