Canadians are watching this with shock and horror. What’s happening in the US right now is deeply disturbing, and we stand in solidarity with the good American people. We are thinking about you, and want you to know you’re not alone.

It’s 2005. You were supposed to be studying for your computer class on your #imacg4, but got distracted by #thesims instead! #2000s #2000snostalgia #discman #gameboy #gameboyadvance #tamagotchi #cornergas #nostalgic #nostalgia #oldcomputer #imac #gameboyadvancesp #lavalamp #flipphone #sonyericsson
A warmly lit desk staged to look like 2005, with a white iMac G4 in the center running The Sims in a window. Four pink sticky notes with handwritten reminders are stuck along the bottom of the screen. On the desk are a white Apple keyboard and mouse, an open computer textbook showing diagrams about disk boot and memory, and an open notebook with handwritten technical notes and a pen resting on it. To the left are a Coca-Cola can, a portable Sony Discman with a small speaker attached, a Sony Ericsson flip phone, a blue floppy disk, a blue calculator, and a black Game Boy Advance SP with a Shrek 2 cartridge beside it. A DVD of Corner Gas season one is also visible. To the right are a Logitech game controller and a green-yellow lava lamp casting a soft glow. The scene looks like someone was supposed to be studying for computer class but got distracted by playing The Sims instead.

This was my first #mac. It’s been a part of my collection for around 13 years now! #vintagemac #oldmac #vintageapple #oldcomputer #powerpc #powerpcmac #powermacg4 #powermac #macosx #macosxtiger #spacehey
A silver Power Mac G4 Mirror Drive Doors tower sits on the left side of a desk next to a black and silver 5:4 Dell LCD monitor. The monitor shows Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger with a web browser open to the SpaceHey website (a modern version of the classic MySpace website) and the “About This Mac” window visible, listing Mac OS X version 10.4.11, a dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 processor configuration, and 2 MB of L3 cache per processor. The wallpaper on the desktop is a tiger fur pattern, referencing the operating system codename “Tiger”. In front of the monitor is an Apple keyboard and an Apple mouse on the desk. The setup is in an unfinished basement with exposed wooden framing and pink insulation visible in the background. The lighting is low and warm, provided by a nearby desk lamp out of frame.

A staged early-2000s computer desk setup lit with blue and magenta accent lighting. On the left, a white iBook G4 laptop displays SpaceHey, a modern MySpace-style social network, in a Firefox-based browser. In the center is a Dell Dimension 2200 tower connected to a Dell CRT monitor showing Windows XP with the game Zuma Deluxe running, using a Dell keyboard and mouse. Beige Harman/Kardon desktop speakers sit beside the monitor. Spread across the desk are period accessories including a Motorola Razr flip phone, a blue Tamagotchi Connection, a TI-84 graphing calculator resting on an open handwritten notepad, a black Game Boy Advance SP, and a blue 3.5-inch floppy disk labeled “Plop Bootloader.” A GTA III jewel case lies near the front edge of the desk, and a Maran Illustrated Windows XP: 101 Tips book stands behind the computers.

Spent two hours filming my next video. Wanted to use the Blackmagic Camera app for greater control, but it requires external storage I don’t have yet. Used regular camera. 41GB of ProRes Log footage (only a few minutes lol). Tiny inconsistencies drove me crazy and I deleted it all.

A 90s computer setup sits on a beige desk. It consists of beige small form factor PC underneath a CRT monitor, a beige Dell keyboard and beige mouse on a black mousepad, with two beige speakers on either side. The CRT is off, but the reflection of a standing light can be seen. In the background, pink insulation and wood studs can be seen in the unfinished basement.

My favourite thing about #atx is that I can hook up 2-year old power supplies to 27-year old computers. This PSU is over 8.5x more powerful than the original!

I was testing to see if power delivery was the reason a GPU wasn’t working. Confirmed it’s not the power supply! #oldcomputer #cursed

Alternatively, when they hear how almost everyone in Norway drives an EV and the rapid adoption in Europe and Asia, yet the grids there are just fine

Sometimes he’s so photogenic! #cat #catpictures #catphotos #cats #kitty #kitties #kittycat
A long-haired black cat sits upright against a light-colored wall, looking slightly to the left with bright green eyes. His fur is thick and fluffy, with a soft ruff around his neck and a few white hairs mixed in. His expression is calm and regal.

Yo wtf

#pentium2 #pentiumii #retropc #retrocomputer #retrocomputing #oldpc #oldcomputer #vintagecomputer #memtest86 #crt #tinkering
A beige CRT monitor displays Memtest86 5.01 running on a Pentium II system. The top half of the blue screen shows system details such as “CLK: 348.5MHz (PAE Mode),” “Memory: 384M,” and “Chipset: Intel i440BX.” The timer reads 00:00:04, but it is frozen and not advancing. The bottom half of the screen is filled with rapidly scrolling red error rows, showing countless failing memory addresses around the 276MB region. Many of the hexadecimal values in the “Good,” “Bad,” and “Err-Bits” columns appear slightly blurred due to how fast the errors were flying by. The error counter reads over 2.7 million errors. Warm ambient light reflects off the CRT bezel in the dimly lit room.

I like to power on my #CRT monitors every now and then. This graphite #imac #imacg3 still looks good, even if the camera made it look soft! #retromac #oldmac #powerpc #powerpcmac #vintagemac #2000snostalgia #nostalgia #oldcomputer #retrocomputer
A graphite iMac G3 displaying the About This Mac window on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. The system specs list a 500MHz PowerPC G3 processor and 512MB of SDRAM. The desktop wallpaper is a stylized map from Fallout 3, shown in shades of blue and black that glow vividly against the CRT screen. The iMac sits on a desk beside a Dell keyboard and another beige CRT monitor, with CDs stacked on the left and a dimly lit room with pink insulation and grey curtains in the background. The same iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger with a Finder window open, showing user folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures. The CRT emits a bright glow. A white Apple keyboard is positioned in front of the iMac, and to the left, a stack of jewel-cased CDs and a shelving unit with electronics and cables are visible.

Be mindful of false urgency! Most people don’t fall for this - they prey on those who don’t recognize it for the scam that it is!

Old PC: Shuttle XPC (2002) - Windows XP Games & Linux in 2025
Finally, nine months in the making (most of that was me just doing other things), presenting a 2002-2003 Shuttle XPC Cube as a nostalgic look back on early 2000s gaming! One of my favourite machine...

Coming soon to a #peertube instance near you! #videomaking #shuttlexpc
A close-up photo of a computer monitor showing the Render Queue in DaVinci Resolve. The project titled “Shuttle XPC (Remake) | Main Video” is actively rendering, located at /home/richie/Videos/Videos/ShuttleXPC.mov. The progress bar shows 22% complete with 7 minutes and 51 seconds remaining, and below it, the text reads “Rendering in Progress – 1 of 1 Jobs”. The timeline with multiple video tracks is partially visible at the bottom of the screen.

Thought I’d share a capture from my latest video in progress, the #shuttlexpc video. Yes, the text and progress bar are colourful. I was playing with various #davinciresolvefusion nodes and key framing, and just thought it looked cool! #davinciresolve #needforspeedunderground #videomaking
A 5:4 gameplay screengrab from Need for Speed: Underground, overlaid on a blurred, stretched background of the same footage to fit a 16:9 frame. The scene shows a bright green Dodge Neon racing through a city tunnel at night, slightly airborne as it speeds along the yellow-striped road. The on-screen HUD shows the player in 1st place, 26 seconds into the race, driving at 170 km/h in 4th gear. The name “Eh” appears in the top-right leaderboard. A small minimap with blue arrows is on the lower left, and a tachometer and speedometer are in the lower right. In the bottom left corner of the video, a glowing orange quarter-circle progress bar arcs beside the text “Need for Speed Underground.

I thought I’d share this article. I’m opinionated of course, but I find this particularly interesting. #linux #linuxgaming #xboxally #rogally #xboxallyx

Will this ruffle some feathers? Maybe. Just don’t shoot the messenger.

For the first time in 9 months since I first teased this video, it’s finally fully filmed and just needs to be edited. Wow. #videomaking #davinciresolve #shuttlexpc #ibmthinkpad
A computer monitor displaying DaVinci Resolve video editing software. The project on screen shows a split view — the clip monitor in the middle features a Shuttle XPC Cube illuminated with dramatic purple and blue lighting, while the timeline monitor on the right shows a retro-themed desk setup with an early 2000s IBM ThinkPad, the same Shuttle XPC Cube, an iMac G4, and a Dell LCD monitor in the background. Below, the timeline displays video and audio tracks with adjustment layers and clips arranged in sequence. The workspace around the screen is dimly lit, with a faint warm reflection on the desk surface and a CD visible in front of the monitor.
