Bought an #SSD Upgrade to the #Powerbook G4 12" 1.5GHz

- chenyang mSATA Mini SATA SSD to IDE 44Pin
- Transcend MSA230 128GB mSATA SSD

Opening 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.

Outro dia mergulhei no universo paralelo que abriga computadores rodando #AmigaOS e #MorphOS, no caso de processadores #PowerPC, e RISC OS, no caso de processadores #ARM. É muito curioso ver o esforço em manter aplicativos desktop para essas plataformas. O sistema de multimedia authoring Hollywood, cujo Designer só roda em Amiga, é impressionante.

Oh, hey!
It was on this day May 6th, in 1998 that Apple launched the iMac in a world of beige that turned around the company.

Today I did something fun!

On my left is my dear old 1GHz #Powerbook #G4. The best machine i've ever owned. But it's been around and seen better days.

Bought an upgrade: 1.5GHz, 1.25GB of RAM and 2x the VRAM.
Though just a CD-RW instead of a my broken DVD Burner. And the display is so much brighter, and the keys feels brand new!

Ordered an #msata to de adapter and disk just in case, but don't know if i want to use it.

Saw an article comparing the #AMD "#AM4 Platform" lasting 9 years and counting to "#PowerPC" lasting 12, and I got the impression this person didn't realize that the comparison they are comparing a #CPUSocket to a #CPUArchitecture, because as fas as I know, you couldn't upgrade an early #PPC #CPU to a much newer one without getting a new motherboard...

That aside, it is impressive how the #ZenArchitecture, after a decade of weird short-term stuff like the Bulldozer, managed to become such a long lasting standard. It's like they tried out so many weird methods trying to make chips that ran better, only to come up with this relatively simple way of building things.

And honestly, I don't think Zen is that different from Intel architectures, once you get past the compiler flags. As long as it all runs the same code at the end of the day, it doesn't matter...

...but the lifespan of those Sockets, AM4 and now #AM5, that's a consumer value that I don't think is matched right now.

It took an embarrassing amount of time, but I was finally able to get Linux installed and running on my old G4 iMac so I can use it as a terminal to access my home servers!

Oh come on! I read this assuming they got it running on the front-mounted 180x32 backlit LCD display!

I may hum… have gathered slightly too many old computers. But they are shiny and make blinking things that move around 🥺

#AMD CEO #LisaSu reminisces about designing the #PS3's infamous Cell processor during her time at #IBM
Even before she worked at #AMD, Lisa Su was making big moves and proving to be one of #PlayStation's greatest allies
AMD produced graphics chips for both #Nintendo and #Xbox, and all three console 7th generation consoles used #PowerPC architecture. But come to 8th-gen (PS4, XB1, Switch), both Xbox and PlayStation had switched fully to AMD-powered #x86 #CPU and #GPU.

Test toot from #Macstodon on a Dual 1.25GHz G4 running MacOS9.
#MARCHintosch #PowerPC #retroComputing #OS9

To continue the story of my exploration of the #IBM #Power5 in a time before I got job working with it.

Installed Virtual I/O Server (#VOIS) which I felt then was way ahead of vmware during this time. Really nicely integrated software with hardware with the virtual terminals of each OS accessible from VIOS CLI

Installed #AIX v5 and later 6 and of course I also had to try out #Linux on #Power / #PowerPC even though it's the familiar stuff, but always fun to run it on more exotic hardware.
