Since the start of November, I’ve noticed RAM and SSD prices have been rising quite a bit. It’s especially true with the former, as, believe it or not, many devices use RAM, including computers, mobile devices, gaming consoles, cars, and more.
In July, I began overhauling my home lab, anticipating the possibility of my job transitioning from VMWare to Nutanix. Thankfully, Nutanix has a community edition to play around with in a home lab environment. As a result, I needed to get some more mini PCs. I eventually bought two Minisforum A1s to create two of …
Nintendo’s decision to raise the prices of the original Switch, along with its accessories, due to “market conditions,” has prompted a lot of people to give negative responses. People think that Nintendo is being too greedy or that they have lost their way. While some practices I see are questionable, such as the key cards …
I have been losing trust in Automattic and especially Matt Mullenweg for a while now. Matt has shown his true colors by being a mob boss and trying to bully and extort WP Engine, a managed WordPress host, and WordPress theme and plugin developers. This feud that started with a disagreement between the two parties …
For a while now, I have been looking for a Power Macintosh 9600, one of Apple’s last Beige high-end Power Macintosh. That was before Steve Jobs came back to Apple. Unlike the Beige Power Macintosh G3, which only had three PCI slots and three memory slots, the 9600 had six PCI slots and 12 memory …

With SATA PCI cards like the Seritek cards and the two-port Sonnet Tempo SATA PCI card being rare and often expensive, what other solutions exist? Sure, the pre-flashed SATA cards are bootable from China using Mac OS 9, but those just don’t work. I found one and found that it won’t boot my existing SSD …
It’s been a while since I got the replacement Apple Vision Pro, and it has been going fine. Of course, most of what I use now is to watch stuff on it since it gives the best viewing experience for Anime. I haven’t used the projector for months, which, of course, uses more energy. While …
The second and final part of the Power Macintosh 8100 Project is upgrading to make it a relatively fast 8100. It won’t be the ultimate as it doesn’t have the fastest G3 or, let alone, a G4 accelerator, which exist but are rare.
As mentioned last week, I finally decided to pick up a Power Macintosh 8100, which is in pretty good shape given its age. While I have a Power Mac G4 Mirror Door Drive, the fastest G4 that can run Mac OS 9, which has the holy grail of video cards, is the Nvidia Geforce 4 …
