I attended and what a waste time and money... Next year going??? Hell NOOO !!!

FT Wayne is one I have always avoided just due to the fact they want to extort $$ for parking. yes I know its not the hamfest but the building doing the extorting but I really hate extortion. like you want me to spend money to come to your city to spend money but then you want to extort me for more money coming to spend money in your city.. well ya can just f off and get 0 money from me. I used to set up at a few of the fests in east central indiana but gave it up after the east central Indiana hamfest due to all I set up at this year and last year I lost money it just ain't worth it. might be why the FT was so skimpy people like me giving up cause we can't make any money.

700 dollars for that imac is robbery

that guy at 1:50 had high prices, I was looking for HDDs and scored some deals. dude at 2:28 i got several from him(HDDS) really nice guy, guy at 4:19 I got one of those towers for $5, thing was a B lugging it around especially all the way to the parking lot...especially since we parked by the left entrance and they made us go in the right entrance this year.... SMMH walking with one of those towers that far LOL How long have you been going to this show since what year?

Sadly I fear that the days of this hamfest are numbered.

Chrome os aim for 20 years old hardware anyway

RIP the #1 macs of all time, PPC forever 💖

7:26 😬 gotta love how you've publicly said his name and uni lol

Subbed for the shamelessness.

720p playback on youtube is crazy for an 2008 device, my first laptop from 2010 cant do 480p

Nice video! I have a MacBook aluminium from 2009. Popped in 8 Gigs of RAM and a 500 GB SSD. Put Linux Mint Cinnamon 21,3 on and it now is a very agreeable laptop again. I will try to run Chrome OS Flex, see if it gets snappier....

This makes me want to pick up one of those 11.6” Macbook Airs from the early 2010s and slap ChromeOS Flex on it. I loved how tiny and sturdy they were.

I have a fleet of these laptops that I’ve been using for live video work in concert and gallery settings for over a decade now

How does it do with TinyCore Linux?

Cool video can’t wait to see an upgrade for this device 😊

Use Linux instead

Even with a light linux distro and enough ram, CPUs from this era absolutely struggle with video streaming. I guess that makes it a good homework machine so you're not spending time on youtube lol

Если нужно что-то на слабый пк то как вариант может быть artix linux(рабочие столы xfce, lxde, lxqt) либо mx linux класическая версия. Для особо слабых ноутбуков (и intel atom + 512bm-1.5gbram) mx linux fluxbox + swap 2-4gb

nice video!

Should have used Linux Mint, chrome sucks

Hi, i have 2007 Macbook core2duo and Imac 2007 both with 4gb ram. OSX 10.6can only see 3.5g ( i think due to the strange 32/64 uefi / bios is has - that will come back to haunt you in experiments ) Both have had the hard drives backed up as they were fully loaded with software The macbook, has had HDD replaced with SSD ( brand new WD 512GB for @$25 ), it has Linux Mint 18 on it and runs great - the wifi or bluetooth just need a driver which was on the top of the FAQ for early macs. The imac has rEFInd as the dual boot manager, so i still use OSX for all tasks except youtube. There is no drawback except possibly a warning if you upgrade linux, you might over right the boot partition and have issues - but 5 years later i am still using Linux Mint V18 If the Imac was easier to change HDD/SDD i would have done it ( really apple, why not a simple rear hatch opening like laptops ad the rear of the screen ) Regards George

I checked the cpu speed, it's near 900 passmark points. That's quite fast for a machine of that time. You are limited by ram mostly, and only secondly by the hard drive. I highly suggest you start with putting another 2 GBs of RAM, to reach at least 4 (if not 6) GB. It will make the biggest difference. The ssd will also help, but not as much as adding RAM. Definitely consider adding ram. With 4/6 GB of RAM will also make something like Linux Mint with XFCE (not with Cinnamon) fly, as well.

Awesome channel

Thank you very much for your video. I have a black MacBook with the same specs you mention. I bought it new in 2008 and took very good care of it until it was obsolete. I tried installing Windows 10 with Boot Camp shortly after not being able to upgrade beyond Lion but I didn't have a good user experience. Finally, I upgraded to SSD and 6GB of RAM and installed Windows 11 with Rufus and the drivers downloaded with Boot Camp achieving an excellent experience in use for basic tasks and gave it to a 12-year-old boy for his school activities with a new battery. After a year it is still working very well.

Trust me Chrome on Linux is better, your CPU should be sitting at around 60% with TH-cam playing. TH-cam is literally my benchmark on any PC and I was literally watching video on a core2duo about 3 days ago, it'll destroy the battery life but I think the main difference OS wise is that most Linux distros still have the old Intel drivers available, even though some programs still won't run on the old CPU's like OBS, these CPU's still pack a punch but they need those integrated graphics to actually carry their weight. Your iGPU should be better than the one in my laptop as well, mine is a year older and brought I think a GMA 640 iirc

The 6GB Ram and SSD upgrade would definitely improve it's performance, i think the CPU is struggling due to needing actual Ram versus the swappable Ram that it uses when running out of actual Ram, it even causes issues on modern MacBooks that have base 8GB unified memory.

Just install Linux or Windows

A couple days ago I upgraded my mid 2011 mac mini to Sequoia, the best I can say is it runs alright. Just it does chug, even after upgrading ram to 16gb. But hey, it does what I need it to do. Music storage and iPod sync machine. LOL

I have a 2010 White Macbook I got for 22$ at Good Will and I put a ssd in it and upgraded it to Big Sur to see what would happen lol

If you want to have windows 10 on it just slap the hdd on computer and complete the setup on a bootable usb and after it restart get the drive and finished the installion on the laptop

Get a ssd and add more ram. It will be awesome 👍🏻.

I am trying to install chrome os flex on a mac air mid 2017, I made it to the end of the process and I get the error (could not mount crytohome) and it said it was unable to verifly my password, but I did sign in and verified it with my phone. thank you

Fun stuff!

never intended? for no reason? im in

Welcome to Mac OS

Don’t pause and read that daddy part 🤮

Neat

Monitor was recommending 1280x1024x60

This is more entertaining than the usual traffic american hams waste airtime with.

That’s the WWVH voice

Ham radio is like a cult...Were not talking to you if you are not licensed...Fu** them

R.I.P. Windows XP 2001 - 2014

I’m daily driving it

Legends say he's waiting for more users

I loved WWV

That little radio does pretty good for such a low cost. Quite neat.

Being deaf dumb and blind in one eye made my getting FCC Tech Class License rather difficult, but those MORON ASS SUCKERS bashing SUCCESSFUL Hams shows how DESPICABLE goddamn Republicans can be. I was a regular on Win System when Shorty lived in Oceanside area. W5AWG, John Teh Hobo. 73s

Sounds like someone let the user group know what losers they are. Every time you say the FCC is gonna arrest or do a damn thing it makes a jammer die laughing.

Let's be honest EVERYBODY had this computer, dont lie.

Me crying the whole time cuz this os was like a part of me and it taught me how to use a computer and it was my favorite computer
