So the iPhone 3GS came today. OMG, iOS 5.0!
please tell me you dumped those SHSH blobs from the device before updating it to 6.1.6!

No. I have no intent on going back. I know where you're going with that, but I don't intend to jailbreak this particular iPhone or to roll it back. I need iOS 6 to use the bare minimum of what I (fuzzily) intend to do with the phone.please tell me you dumped those SHSH blobs from the device before updating it to 6.1.6!![]()
So…streaming DroneZone from the 3GS to the Mac Mini, which is sending it to the BT loudspeaker.
Yes. I'm using Air ServerI take it the MM is acting as an AirPlay receiver? And... is the wallpaper you're using on the MM available anywhere?
So…streaming DroneZone
No worries. It's Polgara, no explanation needed.@eyoungren - Many thanks for that (and sorry for going off-topic again)![]()
I found Soma FM somehow around 2001. Either iTunes on OS9 or Live 365 using the Netscape browser. Been a listener ever since.Rusty&Crew @somafm sure lay-down some stone-the-fsck'n-crows-at-home righteous tracks.
Currently enjoying a nice, hot cup of Space Station....

The vendor that shipped the Mac did a really good job. Absolutely NO BENT HANDLES!
My Power Mac G4 is a DA in a QS case, probably from the board swap that was common with the QS models. I guess I've sort of missed a rite of passage by not having to diagnose a QS and then doing a DA board swap instead, haven't I?Whoa! Don't you feel you missed out on the whole shipping experience by not getting completely destroyed handles? It's kind of traditional - a rite of passage if you like.![]()
LOL. I already had that experience. A member here sent me a 2.3 DC G5 some time ago and it arrived out of whack. Which put me on the hunt for a case. Fortunately, there was a local fellow selling the EXACT same 2.3 DC G5 for $50. So I bought it and transferred all the necessary parts. The bent G5 is serving as a part machine.Whoa!

No, no SSD. I don't feel I really need one. In laptops, sure. I've been transitioning my laptops to this but spinners are good enough for my desktops I think.@eyoungren - Are you going to put an SSD in there? As for your adventures - per aspera ad astra.![]()
Well, there is more work to be done. Today (yesterday actually) I got a lot of my apps either installed or updated. There's a couple of things I'm having problems with (Facetime and Messages do not want to log me in, despite me being logged in to iCloud, iTunes and the App store) as well as some other small stuff. Mostly though I'm back to where I was.Brilliant work @eyoungren! Your persistence has paid off.
How are you finding your workflow on the new rig? I imagine the speed difference over the Quad G5 is like night and day.
Do you think you’ll bring it up to Mojave?
I guess this shows just how outdated my sense of technology is...
Are those just the basic NVMe adapters and are you finding heat generation ok with them?

When I saw those, the only name that came to my mind was "Hardcard" despite knowing what NVMe is and the fact that I know you can get PCI(e) cards for that

Those actually are older AHCI drives. One came from an MBA, one from a trashcan.
Since this boots SL, I need at least one AHCI drive. Now that we have the firmware "blessing" from Apple to do NVME, I may try one, but of course it will be for HiSi.
Awesome! I wonder if it would be worth sticking an SSD in one...The first computer I used was a Tandy 1000a hand-me-down from my dad that had one..
Right now, I have a 1000TX that also has one...I need to get it going.
I had issues a while back with this. Messages and Facetime simply refused to let me sign in. Turns out Apple had placed a block on my Apple ID. I never found out why they had placed the block on me, but it only took an email to Apple support to get it cleared up and I could then sign into Messages freely. So that might be worth a shot for you.(Facetime and Messages do not want to log me in, despite me being logged in to iCloud, iTunes and the App store)
According to my brief research, Apple's AHCI SSDs have a non-standard M.2 connector, so you need both an adapter to "normal" M.2 and an M.2-to-PCIe card. Is that correct?
