@Nifflas@mastodon.gamedev.place oh and btw this was all in CrossOver, for anyone else on macOS (presumably Linux too) without easy access to Windows. didn't run into any issues at all.
@Nifflas@mastodon.gamedev.place omg, so cool!! didn't "get" the streamer thing at first but it grew on me, really creative and some very funny moments, immediately went back for a second run in the "highscore" mode too and it's a satisfying (tricky) game on its own as well, nice work!!
going to stop procrastinating trying Ynglet now 😅

Beautiful women texting me named Disk Not Ejected Properly
"fixed" (read: removed a capacitor and replaced the display) an 11" macbook air, used for a couple days, now every other laptop feels huge and cumbersome wtf
this is too old for meaningful work (4gb ram, haswell), but if i find an 8gb broadwell one...
was this the perfect form factor all along??

Beware of geeks bearing gifts. When prison-tech companies started offering "free" tablets to America's vast army of prisoners, it set off alarm-bells for prison reform advocates - but not for the law-enforcement agencies that manage the great American carceral enterprise.

@platkus @siracusa @brentsimmons @stroughtonsmith not sure if it'll work, but setting it in the specific app's domain (defaults write com.the.apps.CFBundleIdentifier) worth a try?

alright it took the better part of my weekend but I finally back-ported Mastodon to iOS 4
ended up being a broken connection between an 8.6v line and this resistor connecting to a chip which (i think) makes some of the cpu voltages. the water/corrosion probably shorted it to ground (e.g. right side of the capacitor directly below) and burned the trace?
not completely sure, but it was lifeless until i soldered the wire, and now works perfectly!
finally managed to fix the water-damaged 2015 MacBook Air 😁 thanks to dosdude1 for the boardview and extreme patience with my questions!
replaying VVVVVV after about 5 years and it's 100% as good as i remembered ☺️

@kawaiizenbo just recently learned that you can setup windows 11 entirely offline by pressing shift+f10 on the first screen, then `cd oobe` followed by `bypassnro`. this skips the network setup entirely and defaults to a local account
just found a very small surface-mount component on my desk shortly after swapping SSDs in my 2010 MacBook
it still works but...
@sanvsarr yesss, he posted about selling signed copies around christmas, i figured a replacement for my "crime pdf" copies was long overdue anyways.. 😅 just arrived a couple days ago!
