got a receipt printer based on thirtythreedown.com/2025/11/02/p... but it lacks macOS support, so I vibe coded a web version ctp500.neocities.org

Thanks for sharing! I managed to get this to work with the even cheaper Sony PCGA-DVD51 DVD drive that the readme mentions.

Hey, I was wondering… which battery brand features a pink bunny mascot?

I didn’t realize it’d be a work holiday, so I thought I’d sit down and watch a movie I hadn’t seen before 🫠

I was thinking, after reading Dazai’s No Longer Human/A Shameful Life, what should I read next? someone at the bookstore had me covered…

I was there too! Loved seeing the 9x BSOD again.

"If you get caught using that ..."
I had an MD recorder for music when The Matrix came out, but the data disc scene fascinated me. It’s probably for the best I never got one, the inefficiencies are hilarious. I keep telling myself I don’t need one, but it’s still so cool to see it in action.

I’m working on a customizable Catch Phrase project using a Raspberry #PiPico, but I need suggestions for push buttons. Since the new LED screen occupies the same space as the original board, I can only reuse the Next button. I need something thin enough to fit, but also possibly screws in. #arduino

I own one and recently got the Famicom game/adapter, but I’ve never been able to make ANY progress, keep dying repeatedly. The cards it comes with seem particularly useless. I want to like it but IDGI. Side note, at some point they renamed those other toys to Calico Critters in the US. 🤔

Has anyone managed to 3D print replacement parts for the Apple //c monitor stand? I’ve resorted to using a chopstick to prevent my monitor from falling off.

Finally done with the Performa 6200CD. Moved off everything from the IDE drive and got BlueSCSI to boot correctly. Should be easy to add stuff now, and it runs a lot faster. Now I need to repair the SE’s floppy drive that won’t stop trying to eject.

I can’t resist a free computer. Just got another Apple donation and, oops, this iMac 13,1 isn’t supposed to run Sequoia. Might be better running Linux, but seems fine with simple stuff (like YouTube!) Might keep it on 15.2, but not sure where to put it.

Got a real TMS9918 chip in and it’s still a black screen with random Coleco noises. Did some fun troubleshooting with @leadedsolder.com and the BIOS ROM chip is a bit sus. We’ll find out in a few weeks if a different one fixes anything on the Leako! 🙏

The iBook G4 running OS9 is kind of the perfect distraction free word processor. It has issues with games, but not creative software. So I setup a cozy little corner with a small desk for whenever inspiration strikes.

The consolized Taito Type X controller port got an upgrade! It’s now incredibly sturdy compared to the old one that felt like it was about to snap when you plugged in a controller. Now I need to replace the one for Mr. Driller G.

Performa 6200CD drive bracket was of course brittle as hell taking the drive out. Printed a new bracket, but I can’t format any other IDE drive! My SE’s floppy drive died ejecting the disk I installed a patched version of Drive Setup. Even with it, other IDE drives still won’t detect! 🤬 #macintosh

Sunday shenanigans! This isn’t supposed to be booting OS9, it’s a mid 2005 iBook with a Radeon 9550! Oh well, anyway. I need to get back to the Performa project.

Updating the controller port bay for my consolized (computerized?) Taito Type X/TGM3 and Mr Driller G arcade boards. They’re just more convenient and compact in an old
computer case.

New PLA revives my second SX-64, it boots! The bad? Floppy drive constantly runs. User port, serial bus, and SID chip all fail tests. No sound at all. Bought a pair of new PLAs a while back, but one got damaged in shipping. Good thing I ordered two! #c64 #commodore
