retro technology

    Here’s a rather fascinating (and detailed) breakdown of installing a 1TB mSATA SSD into a PowerBook G4 1.67GHz hi-res display model, the last of the mobile PowerPC PowerBooks. I put a similar rig in my G4 Mini 1.4GHz “Silent Upgrade”, though my SSD is a mere 120GBs. Then again, I run Mac OS 9.22 on it, with a 10.4 partition. #apple #Mac #retrocomputing #hardware lowendmac.com/2024/fanx…

    In the rarely used #GoodNews category of #VideoGamePreservation, Epic Games has granted the Internet Archive permission to archive old versions of #UnrealEngine and #UnrealTournament and make them available to anyone who wants them… for #FREE! It may be a small step in the wide-ranging universe of outmoded #videogames, but it is a step! Take heed, publishers hoarding old games!! #RetroComputing #tech mjtsai.com/blog/2024…
