WWV Temporary Shutdown Announcement
มุมมอง 2.8K7 ปีที่แล้ว
A video I recorded of the time station WWV making an announcement on 2-15-17 from my location in Jackson MI. From the National Institute of Standards and Technology www.nist.gov "Due to an electrical upgrade, Radio Station WWV will be off the air on all frequencies on February 21 and 22, 2017. The outages will occur between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM Mountain Standard Time, and will not exceed 8 hours...
Attempting to install Ubuntu 16.10 on an old Compaq
มุมมอง 2K8 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I attempt to install Ubuntu 16.10 on a Compaq Presario SR5710Y which I dubbed "the trash heap" (I really do have a problem with old Compaq computers). This install took long and therefore the video was long and I made the decision to split it up into two parts mid edit. Part 2 will come sometime next week.
An EAS Weekly Test Played Through A Local 2M HAM Repeater (1-4-17)
มุมมอง 4208 ปีที่แล้ว
A recording of a weekly EAS test played through NOAA weather radio and relayed on the local amateur radio 2 meter repeater. I was going to do a full video on this but had to be away from the house all day so I left the radio connected to the computer all day and made an over 7 hour audacity recording. Let me know if I should keep uploading more radio videos or if I should keep my focus on compu...

On 12-27-16 at around 15:30 UTC I tuned my radio to my local IRLP reflector and heard "Paul" giving people a hard time. I managed to record most of what I heard however, there were a few technical problems. Let me know if you want to see more videos about ham radio.
Stuff I got this week 3 (From the archive ep. 1)
มุมมอง 218 ปีที่แล้ว
This video was originally filmed on March 17th 2016. In the first video from the TechStuff "Vault" we have a video that I started back in march. I never bothered to finish editing (for obvious reasons) until I stumbled on the project file and thought "why not". So here it is Stuff I Got This Week Part 3.

i used to have this EXACT PowerBook about 10 years ago, long story short i took it apart and it never ended up back together. hahah
Yeah those things are a pain to take apart and even more of a pain to put back together without any pieces missing
2017 Macbook Air hits the sweet spot. Certified to 2027. Pop in new batteries. Perfect throw in the car cafe' "Chromebook"
I have Chrome OS Flex on my Mac Mini mid 2011, run so smooth even still using hardisk 💪
Good channel Bro, subbed
Subscribed then unsubscribed...swearing like a 15 year old was hard to sit through. You have a potentially great channel but no one will take your channel serious until you act more professional. If you made this channel to mess around and impress your buddies then "Achievement Unlocked".
i almost grabbed one of these at ewaste a few months ago for like 2 dollars i should've!!!
If you need the updates and patches for Windows XP you can use Legacy Update, even though Legacy Update includes some of the driver updates.
Dell D series has some interesting features. A 3.5 inch floppy drive that works as an internal drive or a external drive over USB. The D port with pcie is the real gem though.

Hey man great video. The windows xp that was installed with the psssword error said upgrade edition maybe that's what cause the password error. I have a this laptop and and the latitude D505 and D510. I have subbed also i love your apple mac in the corner
Annoying video but at least you got it done in the end and not hit it
Most of the laptops computers buy from junkyard, you needed to install from the beginning not to fix the program because mostly people set the password before 😢
please stop swearing. be professional and you will get a like.ty
The inclusion of the intel video graphics is a real limitation on this machine and you won’t be able to find any modern operating systems for it. Windows XP runs well even when fully updated. There does exist a basic video driver for windows 7 that can be manually added. You won’t get aero but at least mpeg playback will work and get full resolution along with the ability to standby. Of Linux I’ve had a recent version of Debian before but it isn’t exactly what I’d call stable. If your choice becomes Linux you will have a hard time just from the lack of 32 bit support these days. Blink and you’ll miss it because above that pcmcia card slot is a smart card reader. I own this exact model and mine is in perfect working condition. If you’re interested in using windows 7 I can help with that video driver. It wasn’t exactly easy for me to find the last time I needed to find it.
Yeah the Intel graphics are horrible but it is great for retro gaming. I have the the d505, d510 and d610
yeah that is jetpack joyride
I'd try antix with the chromium browser. It should play 480 youtube videos at just under a gb or ram.
Hehe my laptop is better. My main laptop is dell vostro A860 with lubuntu openbox-lxde 18.04 LTS kernel 5.4.0 😎😎
that password admin issue can sometimes be caused by bad ram
Dude your getting a Dell

Nice cleanup job. What was the cleaning liquid you used??
Isopropyl alcohol
my d630 latitude is a tank
I agree, so is mine.
@@therobb5738 always clean-out the bottom cover from time to time if and when you can.. i do it & also replace the top and bottom cover when it shows wear
@@therobb5738 I have one too. Built like a tank, running Linux Mint just fine.
I have a similar laptop Acer by brand, still working properly under Win XP, don’t you want to buy it? As I see you love collecting retro things, I can send you photos if you like and tech. info too, if you want
Just go into safe mode under “administrator” and reset the password.
this was my first ever laptop!
Do windows 10
I don't think the cpu has the required instruction set to run windows 10 😢 also the gpu is way too old for the ui interface.
i did better i got it for free >:)
Found a similar one in a dumpster!! 😅
Soooo much nostalgia in this video. You've earned a sub \!
Haiku OS
maybe try puppy linux
Noted, linux can be anything
Yu can just remove the flash drive and it shutdown instantly
Chrome os flex can be installed using the recovery media
Use kinoite fedora to setup, then rebase into bazzite once the right kargs has been set.
Ancient piece of post powerpc shit, is the best way to describe this thing.
Quick answer. Nano11.
Linux might be a better option for any real use. I think that Lubuntu LTS would be a good starting point for this machine.
Simple but Steve Jobs doesn't like this 😬
I loved using this (it was my mom's but she let me use it sometimes lol) macbook back in the day! Very nice form factor
I got a 1.42 GHz 2005 iBook G4 from my grandpa
SSD 6GB RAM, and Mac OS 10.7.5 with Pale Moon 33.2.1
Give it Morph OS, it will fly !
After flying for 30 minutes be prepared to cough up some dough, its not free!
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?
Tell me about it, that dell tower was a nightmare to walk back to my car! This is my 3rd year.
@@ewaste_andy yeah its hella depressing ive been going to this sale since i was a kid, it was INSANE back in the day...the room we went into that was like half empty in current times? that was full to the brim plus the divider was gone, like wed walk in to the doors immediately to the left of where we paid to get admission tickets. Instead of walking down the hall a bit to the door AND there was a basement area that was full as well. I will still go until they stop having it tho biggest hamfest besides the whole in the wall ones that isnt hamvention..need to get to that one
Sadly I fear that the days of this hamfest are numbered.
Unfortunately I have to agree
@@ewaste_andy some guy made a video i found being "negative" about the hamfest for this year and the local ft wayne ham organization copyright claimed his video and took it down LOL someone got mad about him talking like that....says "Allen County Amateur Radio Technical Society, Inc." as the claimee
Chrome os aim for 20 years old hardware anyway
RIP the #1 macs of all time, PPC forever 💖
This is an intel macbook, though it would be interesting to see a ChromiumOS variant for powerPC 32-bit!
@@josephwhittaker2065 the PPC macs are my all time fave, but the early gen intel Mac's are great for certain things, I'd highly recommend trying out Linux distros specifically built for the first couple generations of intel macs! You'll most likely get an overall better experience from a Linux distro built first and foremost for these early intel macs
7:26 😬 gotta love how you've publicly said his name and uni lol
Subbed for the shamelessness.
