Notes

The Intel Compute Stick was a small x86 alternative to the Raspberry Pi. They're discontinued now but are only ~$50 on eBay for a dual-core 1.4Ghz Atom, 2GB RAM and a 32GB SDMMC disk, and they run OpenBSD fine (and the drivers actually work)

Turns out it's Apple's Communications Toolbox and the only way to remove it is to find its installer, copy it to a boot disk, reboot to it, run it, hold down Option, and the Install button will change to Remove.

It drove me nuts and I couldn't figure out what exactly was causing it or how to remove it. I eventually just restored my System Folder from a backup.

I recently installed MS Works 3 and it installed some modem stuff and this stupid extension returned, taunting me every boot. \

I installed some communications program on my Mac Plus a while ago and at every boot I'd get this extension showing up and a new "Communications Folder" in my System Folder even if I deleted it before rebooting. \

I made a website to share desktop screenshots where each window can be annotated. It also allows browsing all screenshots of a program, window manager, or OS.

This is the oldest I have from 22 years ago (mouse over the image for annotations):

Not sure if I trust the Tasmanian Devil with my data

I recently bought a whole bunch of these right-angle DB25 adapters ideal for SCSI2SD v5.5 (or any SCSI thing) on compact Macs, and I offering them on @tindie@twitter.com for ~half the price they are normally sold

It's nice that so many programs and libraries have adopted NO_COLOR in the past four years, but if programs would just stop printing random colors to the terminal without asking, this list wouldn't have to be so long.

and OpenBSD too!

I admire @hjalfi@twitter.com's persistence in porting OSes to random hardware like Fuzix to the ESP8266 and now EmuTOS to the Alphasmart Dana

Though I am now terrified of ever having to do anything SD-card related

My laptop of choice in 2001 was the Sony VAIO PCG-Z505 (with WaveLAN 802.11b PCMCIA card)
