How many compact flash cards is too many? #AskingForAFriend

10 whole Mega Bytes!

Today has been a good mail day.

I detest this with the power of a thousand suns.

Peppy was helping with the car on Friday 😂

I was going to watch the latest episode of For All Mankind but I just want to sleep.

I was also playing with Catz last night

I used to have Dogz on my old Performa 5300. I still have the CD that I bought with my allowance all 'them' years ago

I’ve been thinking of moving my photos over from OneDrive to iCloud Drive but OneDrive is much better IMO. I have over 900GB in OneDrive though - not looking forward to it. I started putting in GPS location data into my EXIF in 2006 when I went to NYC for the first time.

Not bad for £1.16!!

I’m never going to get lost again!!

Currently in the studio with all the intentions of recording a short but I'm just sitting messing online. Struggling with motivation just recently.

This is what I ride now - although it's going to be sold later on this year. It's a 2011 Triumph Daytona 675. I bloody love it but we're moving and I won't be able to take it with me.

Nice! I had the previous 'curvey' generation. I loved it until some woman knocked me off it at a junction and drove off...

Kinda looks like Forky from Toy Story

I wish I had more local friends who had excellent electronics repair skills. I'm great in theory but in practice I SUCK!

I was thinking about getting in there with a soldering iron and a fine tip. I don’t mind messing things up to remove this one but I’m worried about the other board and installing the switch on that one.

I was going to be all like ‘I could use my hot air station and heat this up… the hot air station I bough set itself on fire so I returned it and never bothered buying a new one.

I might have to write this project off as a loss. The new bottom case arrived but the on/off button is broken so I can’t power it on.

What do we have here then???

I just won this. It had a BIN for £13.95. Won it for 21p. Bet the seller isn't happy.

I am pleased to report that Lotus Domino 6.0.1 still installs and works on Windows 11.

I am trying something…

I love how you spend 25 minutes clearing up some disk space on macOS, things like, oh I don't know; 10GB of images that are synced with iCloud even though in Settings you've said not to sync images to this computer. Then you do a restart after freeing up some 30GB only to find you actually have less

This week has been a great week of cool things received in the mail.

I've ordered a new system board. It was only £20 - if it works when I swap everything over, then I'd still only be in it for £33 - so not too bad really

I saw this earlier. Next problem is….

I can’t see them doing that for a 30 odd year old computer :(

The CMOS battery is dead and it's still asking this so I'm guessing its stored in an EEPROM or something.

Both trying to access the BIOS and trying to boot.
