I'm not even a huge StarTrek guy, but this was a fascinating watch and a really interesting BTS peek at something that I think most of us retro computing people have seen. "The keyboard...how quaint!"

I have one of the rackmount ones from around the same era that didn't have a hard drive in it, and the OS/web interface is built into a flash chip into the motherboard. Not familiar with this model but is that not the case on these?

@ronscompvids.bsky.social maybe you can help if this is the model you have?

@lgr-yt.bsky.social I found your new toilet

just write your own GUI wrapper, you noob

That monitor is still trapped? 😢

@nanoraptor.danamania.com as an expert in electricity and good ideas, how many of these can you combine together before it becomes a "bad idea"?

yeah, if you ignore the him killing a kid and being creepy, he seems like he'd be a cool dude to hang out with(especially after el camino. I'd go to his cool apartment and eat some soup with him!)

I don't need one, I have a Mac Studio and a Macbook Air that fit my computing needs perfectly(and tbh if I wasn't lazy I could cut out the mac studio and just use an external screen/kb/mouse on the air), but every time I see one of the new Minis I'm always wayyy to tempted to buy one

i love him already

please pay the dog tax, we want to see the dog who's paw it is!

You Shocked Me All Night Long

hotwheels edition!

years ago at a previous job I was talking to a coworker on the phone and these came up, and the phrase "you have herpes? I have herpes too!" was said out loud before realizing how that sounds to someone only hearing one side of the convo, lmao
