Since activity here is picking up, here’s my intro: I do #vintageMac and #vintagePC repairs, restorations, and janky modding on my Saturday noon eastern streams. I work on random other electronics as well. I like soldering, but my skills are questionable. youtube.com/@bigbadbench

Imagine a world where Chevrolet had the audacity to demand that Motor Trend retract a review because “Next year’s model is going to be better”?
You ship the item you want reviewed, and accept the assessment given.
My advice is to continue to avoid Rabbit Hole Computing and their products.

There's been a lot of video reviews of BlueSCSI - I've never asked to review the video before it airing - only asked that if they had questions I'm here to help.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

You may have heard of Maclock, a cute alarm clock that looks like an original Macintosh. But what if it could actually *be* a Mac? Let’s see what it takes — it’s not as hard as you may think!

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.
This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.
They hate the helpers.
Which is why must keep helping.
