Notes

The TrackPoint cap and fingerprint reader filler were 3d-printed with flexible TPU filament which required a lot of experimentation with temperature and print settings to get a proper color, flexibility, and as little stringing as possible

The TrackPoint buttons and "i" in the ThinkPad logo were painted with a custom paint I had made to (eventually) match the final TPU prints as close as possible while also matching the actual Dolch logo

tired: overnighting car parts from japan

wired: buying car parts from some rando on ebay and hoping they're not fake or wrong when they arrive a week or so later

Whoa, these old PowerBooks have Wi-Fi!

hi past me

Many of my projects seem to end right at the point where I have to design a PCB and then I give up. I need a Tinkercad for lazy PCB making.

Maybe instead of replacing everything with Rust, we can start by not relying on 25,000-line autoconf shell scripts

FWIW, this eBay auction is not mine, they just ripped off my pictures and description. Not sure if this is just a scam listing or if they are actually selling old PowerBook batteries.

Supposedly a non-root RCE in OpenBSD up to 7.4, appears to require NFSd running though?

I wonder if there's a "sovereign citizen" group of wackos that try to ignore daylight saving time and show up to everything an hour late

Like they get a ticket for driving without a license plate because they don't believe in them, then they show up to court an hour late and get arrested yelling at the judge that the government doesn't have the right to control time

there are dozens of us!
