#PowerMac
Goodbye to my 2002 PowerMac G4, a relic of an era where computers felt to me like cozy little self-contained but internally boundless playgrounds. 🪦

Made these slides for Instagram, but I figured this would double as a good pinned post for the top of my profile here... and I also need to justify the many hours I poured into these! Procrastination is my jam.

If you just landed here: Hi. I'm Charlotte. This is my story.

I loved Apple when introduced to Macs at university, wysiwyg editors and learning coding on them. I paid a stupid amount for a PowerMac but the iphone did not appeal and i'm now linux with an android phone and sometime use windows. Wouldn't touch apple with a barge pole.

I suppose I should post here every once in a while. So I am gonna occasionally make threads where I document some of the old machines I curse myself with. Our first specimen: #PowerSnep a beautiful, now broken example of the Blue and White Powermac G3. FedEx had their own idea of handling. 1/?

For a time I had a triple boot laptop running windows NT, FreeBSD, and I can no longer recall which Linux. BSD laptop support was marginal. Mostly used it for NT.

Near the end of its days, my PowerMac 8500 had Yellow Dog Linux partition, before I moved to Texas and most of my kit was recycled.

It's very important that when you adopt a Mac G5 you introduce it to your other Mac G5's right away

Socializing your Mac G5 is important to ensure it remains happy!

Remember. It's not just a PowerPC. It's a lifetime commitment

We were out decommissioning older systems out the warehouse. Picked up what I thought was a Powermac G5, thinking it'd be a nice replacement to the dead server unit (RIP 2013-2024)..

I've struck gold! It turns out it's a 24-core Xeon, and if I can get the SSDs scrambled, they're letting me keep it.

the CPU was a PowerMac 66 clone

I had something weird going on with SDRAM on the PowerMac G4, different behavior depending on slot order, and Apple Hardware Diag not booting. In the end, I fixed it by overwriting the suspect SPD with one from a known good stick. But it's true on PC you can set timings manually.

The PowerMac G4 successfully connects to the Tru64 box... this is huge

I need to work more on the laptop that is running AppleTalk/Samba services and stuff more though because I don't have a good way to get anything on or off of here... including the Mac OS X updates themselves

Wczoraj mi się nudziło i przeniosłem PowerMaca G4 do obudowy ATX.
Uważajcie na nudę.

二十余年の汚れが落とされスッキリ清潔になった20世紀製の PowerMac G3 の部分的意匠に似せたデザインの3段PP製棚

過炭酸Na(酸素系漂白剤)溶かしたぬるま湯に沈めたらぬるま湯が一気に黒茶色になってびっくりした…

One of our favorite mini PC vendors has launched a NAS that looks a bit like Apple's PowerMac G4 Cube PC - but way smaller https://replug.link/24dba318 #d #oneplus #photography
Unbelievable! This NAS is less than 1L in volume but can store up to 24TB of SSD and aims to compete with cloud storage
Beelink ME mini will launch soon, but ME Pro and ME MAX will be much later

I've been doing stuff on my PowerMac 9600 with a 300MHz G3 upgrade card in it. I cannot believe there was a point in time where we considered this "amazingly fast", even with the G3 upgrade.
