@thedaemon the very last G5 imac suffers from the same thing because it's hard to distinguish it from the first intel imac, usually you can tell a G5 imac because it doesn't have the built in isight but the very very last G5 did have it

@thedaemon most people listing apple computers for cheap on ebay don't really know the difference. and because ebay gives you similar listings to fill up title and description from they end up picking something that looks like it but isn't the same model.

for mac minis specifically you need to look at the ports to tell whether it's a G4 or intel, iirc intels don't have firewire in the back, or it was something about the DVI port

i am determined to single-pawedly bring back the #chumby ecosystem

@atax1a we got one that went up in smoke the moment we plugged it in - likely a 12V to 3.3V short

thankfully we think only a diode blew up so it might be salvageable - waiting to see if Duane has a spare part

if you're interested in repairing yours or sending it to our collection (although we're uk-based) let us know

i've published my first #chumby widget:

http://chumby.com/guide/C78EE13C-CE96-37DB-8202-C7A207F24A0D/widget

it's a weather widget that's inspired by WeatherSTAR 4000-era The Weather Channel, currently it's limited to guessing your location but the next step will be making a way to choose an exact location to report about

seeing someone arguing that you need to be at <5nmol/L testosterone to compete in women's sports

my last test came at 0.7nmol/L, where do i sign up?

yes some countries geoip location is more accurate than others, but unless your ISP is actively doxxing you, the notion that an IP address can pinpoint to your house number is ridiculous

i love how much FUD has been generated around what is and isn't possible to do with a public IP address alone

i have tried 5 different geoip locator apis and none of them have identified me being remotely in the correct corner of the country

rewatched it tonight, had to walk out of the room during the scene where weebo gets damaged. still makes us cry
