  1. Repaired this iMac from 2000! Had to take the speakers apart and replace the chemically degrading foam. Left speaker works great, right speaker still a bit of buzz sometimes. CD-ROM had to be disassembled, cleaned and repaired as well. Got it 100% working now! Diablo II is still fun!

    Additionally I also have a cheapo SSD inside via a IDE to SATA adapter. It does make it blink question mark mac for about 10 seconds before it finds and boots but other than CD-ROM and CRT whine its a totally silent iMac.

  5. 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?

  6. Dogma has settled nicely into Linux Mint and has yet again saved himself from the scrap heap. He would freeze up regularly under Fedora and macOS anytime I tried to do anything video-related, but the problem has nearly vanished under Mint. Score one for older drivers, I suppose?

  13. Reached out to Brock over at @everymac with a bit of a mystery. I purchased a G4 iMac back in '22 at the VCFMW. However, the model # seems to be fairly unique. It's an M6498 which is correct, but it's an EMC 1987 which Googling doesn't seem to pull back much. Plus it came standard with 512MB of RAM which was also not standard. I'm guessing a BTO, but maybe the fediverse has more insight? #mac #g4 #imac #apple

  14. Apple brings M4 processor and 12MP camera to the iMac

    The new iMac is a slim all-in-one computer with a 24 inch, 4480 x 2520 pixel display, and support for up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. But that could also describe last year’s model.

    Here’s what’s new for 2024: Apple has upgraded the processor from an M3 chip to M4, which should bring CPU, graphics, and AI improvements. The webcam has been upgraded from 1080p to 12MP. And the new iMac […]

  15. @instance-toot.wales @Walrus @wales @Dewines 🧵 2/2 #ThePembrokePapers What I will need is hands on assistance in establishing a fully integrated office system. #Internet (#VPN) #website I possess one #iMac, two #laptops, #printer and two #mobiles.

  16. Il y a 20 ans je venais de recevoir mon tout premier #Mac, un #iMac #G5 et je suivais les #JO depuis mon Mac grâce à #EyeTV, JO qui étais à #Turin. et 20 ans plus tard ils sont de nouveaux en #Italie et je les suis de nouveau depuis mon Mac mais aussi depuis mon iPhone.

    Le temps passe SI VITE ! #nostalgie 😔

  17. #MacOSXTiger a été la version sur laquelle j'ai débarqué en arrivant dans le monde #Apple et je me souviens encore très bien de ce bonheur sur mon #iMac #G5 (fin 2005). À cette époque être sur Mac avait un "goût" différent et plus agréable. C'est difficile à expliquer mais le plaisir était plus grand je crois.

  18. #retrocomputing #mac #g5 #imac question:
    Is there any way to tell the difference between a 17" G5 iSight iMac and an early core 2 duo one just from photos of the front and rear? A quick glance at everymac makes me think they've got the same ports.

  19. Is there an explainer somewhere about why #Apple no longer supports perfectly functional #imac s with new #OSX, and won't even allow you to use them for monitors for new mac minis? Are they likely to at some point remember their ecological commitment and reverse this policy? cc @appleinsider.com @cocoadog @theapplehub @WIRED

  21. Est-ce qu'il y a des gens ici qui administrent un parc de MacOS, notamment des iMac ?

    J'aimerais booter en PXE un iMac (j'en ai 19 plutôt) d'une dizaine d'année mais je n'y arrive 😭

    Boosts très appréciés 😋

    #ROCm decided to fucking crash the computer and let me lose all afternoon progress.

    I'll never recommend AMD shit for #AI, ever again, until they gift me a fucking server to vent out.

  25. Current mission, recycle, repurpose or recoil! That iMac has a glitchy screen, Logic/MBoard issue? There's maybe a slim chance I could install and run minimal Debian on it for 'something'. Yes, that's a MKI AppleTV you can see. Three laptops and misc hard drives (even an IDE).

  30. Este #ViernesDeEscritorio les comparto que va muy bien el proyecto de educación tecnológica en casa con mi hija. Hace unos 6 meses, nos cedieron una #iMac de 2011, atorada en #MacOS 10.13.6 (ya no se le puede instalar #Chrome, sólo admite #Firefox ESR, #LibreOffice 7.4.5 y un montón de limitantes más).

    Hasta el fin de semana pasado, mi hija de 9 años, usaba esa máquina para tareas y juegos, con MacOS. Recientemente, obtuve un dock para discos duros, rescaté uno de una computadora que desechó mi papá, conecté ambas cosas a la iMac y le configuré su propio #EliveLinux en modo live usb con persistencia (única forma en que consigo preservar MacOS y usar #Linux ahí).

    El domingo pasado, con una sencilla pero elocuente explicación, le di su iniciación como hacker, sensibilizando sobre la importancia de explorar la tecnología más allá de lo evidente y buscar alternativas más privadas, seguras, personalizables y sustentables:

    ✅ Revisó su primer correo NO-Bigtech
    ✅ Hizo su primera tarea en #LibreOffice (v. 25.8.5)
    ✅ Concluyó una serie de ejercicios de inglés en plataforma mediante Firefox (v. 147)
    ✅ Envió su primer documento a imprimir
    ✅ Eligió su primera lista musical en #Audacious

    Estaba extasiada con todo lo que se podía hacer mejor en Linux en comparación con MacOS, pero no tanto como yo 🤩.
