Bought an #SSD Upgrade to the #Powerbook G4 12" 1.5GHz
- chenyang mSATA Mini SATA SSD to IDE 44Pin
- Transcend MSA230 128GB mSATA SSDOpening up this computer takes some commitment. And while I was in there I also lubricated the CPU fan to fix some noise. Then booted the computer from an external #Firewire disk and restored the #Sorbert Leopard image.

So so weird! Using #dvgrab to capture footage from old DV video tapes and all seems to be going well. But using the dv2 format I get clips where audio is sped up with several clips. So I tried dv1, seemed fine, but #FinalCutPro doesn't take these files. Neither does the mov format. So I tried the raw format and that worked fine. But now there's one clip where audio is pitched down by more than 2 steps. So weird!

Using FireWire on a Raspberry Pi Before Linux Drops Support

Guess what? Updated to #MacOS #Tahoe this morning and now my RME Fireface 800 can go to the trash, because #Apple silently dropped #Firewire support 😒 . That really is planned obsolescence at its best, and I would have expected at least a warning before the upgrade, or a long term support option for latest XCode/iOS SDKs on legacy OS versions.

🔥🎩 "FireWire on Pi: The Epic Saga" 🎩🔥— A tale of clinging to obsolete tech like a toddler to a security blanket, when all modern solutions have moved on. Why wrestle with a Raspberry Pi to revive a relic when even Linux is on its way to ditching that old friend by 2029? 🤔🚀

Okay #hardware #nerd types and #DataHoarders or #DigitalArchivists...
I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.
But I have to say... This thing is a monster.
Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?

Nice! I was able to use #dvgrab with my #FireWire card and #DV #camera without any configuration on #Fedora #Linux. I won't be sticking to it because of the short term support, but happy to know that part of my old PC will work just fine under Linux!
Thinking about going with #AlmaLinux instead because of the longer support cycle. That or #ZorinOS.

Thinking about repurposing my old #PC. It’s an #Intel i7-3770 with 32GB of DDR3 800 MHz RAM (though CPU-Z reports 672.5 MHz?). Intel HD graphics 4000, my GTX 950 died. Currently running #Windows10 but should wipe it and run a #Linux distro. Oh, it has a #FireWire card for DV capture. It’s important that keeps functioning.
I wonder if adding a “new” dedicated GPU would still be worth it?
It also doesn’t help I don’t know yet what to do with it. I have my #Mac for video, photo and music…

Reminder that #USB is, and always was, a bad design; as usual for Intel. We had #Firewire, a true bus, and not the worst option of many, polling, like USB. We could have had everything USB-C offers now -- reversible plugs, power-negotiation, multi-protocol -- with Firewire decades ago if USB hadn't taken over. Firewire even had Ethernet-over-Firewire, at 400MBps, fifteen years before Thunderbolt would do the same.
Firewire didn't need a different plug for the computer-side and for the device-side (USB-A & USB-B) because it was a true bus. You could hook any two devices together via a normal Firewire cable and you'd get instant two-way communication. This is how the PS2 did link-play. USB pushed the workload on to the computer. USB-C solves the "who is the host and who is the client?" problem by putting a tiny *computer* into the cable, that's how insane USB has become.
Firewire has been gone so long now that most #Apple #Mac users probably don't even know that you could plug a Mac into another computer via Firewire, power it on holding T and the internal disk drive would appear *as an external HDD* to the other computer.

FireWire was such an amazing bus technology. I often wonder what could have been, if it had won out over the vastly inferior at the time USB standard.
I guess today we have Thunderbolt as its spiritual successor, enabling a lot of what it offered, and then some. But I still miss #firewire

@amadeus @itsfoss since I became a #bitwig user in the early pre-release days, I have tried twice to switch from mac OS to #Ubuntu. But I eventually relapsed both times since it felt I was spending more time troubleshooting than making music. But being forced to ditch 1000€ worth of perfectly working hardware (#MOTU 828 mk2, #UAD appolo quad...) because of "dropped #Firewire support" makes me absolutely mad. I'd love to get some tips from someone who went through this process successfully.
