Scorpions, some time in the 70s.

ESS AMT 1As.

Oh, man. I really don't like Bill Maher. To me he's never once failed to come across as a smarmy douche and pompous baby boomer. That said, he occasionally has guests on his show I like. In this case is an electronic music producer who had a string of hits in the 90s: Good luck un-seeing that. Also holy shit Play came out 20 years ago.

Via redderp, The average color of each frame of Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3: Spoiler: it was dark AF.

I can't see FB links on HC. I have The Zuck as completely sandboxed to one Chrome instance as possible. With that said, this is the funniest fuckin' thing I've seen all day:

Eat Static's live rig, when Merv is playing in his hometown.

1971 Nissan Skyline GTX. Um.

Ice Cave, Yoho National Park, Canada.

Not a very porn-y pic, but I'd like to point out that these speakers have a really high WAF.

Oh man. I've been playing RCT since the 90s and I don't have all the boxes.

Oh, baby.

Phew. The landscape has changed since I last did this. One thing has not changed. 2.5" drives use 4 pegs to stay in place. I brilliantly forgot to swap them from the ca. 2011 HDD to the new SSD and realized the fact just as I tightened on the last screw on the underside panel of the Mac. Many screw (and curses) later, I re-opened the laptop, extracted the SSD, attached its 4 pegs and re-installed everything. Blissfully, the machine booted with no problem. Then I had to enable TRIM. Years ago I used a freeware app called TRIM Enabler. In 2019, said app is no longer free and arguably malware. Fortunately, there's a command in Terminal that does the same thing: sudo trimforce enable. The above screenshot confirms it's working. Even with a 2011 i7, going from 4GB of RAM and a slow AF 2.5" 750GB HDD to 16GB of RAM and a modern SSD is like working on an entirely new machine. High Sierra was not meant to run with 4GB.

500GB Crucial SSD, 16 GB RAM upgrade kit and various accessories arrived from AMZN today. Going to be doing surgery on Mum's 13" MBP this evening. I haven't done work like this in ages. Remember when Macs had user replaceable parts? SMH my head, as the zoomers say.
