@@duplicake4054 I am pretty confident this attack is connected to the lawsuits. Corporations don't want the internet archive to exist. They want to be able to bury the truth and pretend all their past mistakes and feelings never happened. It's sad :(
Okay this channel is gonna blow up (not that 10k isn’t impressive already). The production value of this video is fabulous, not to mention the actual technical prowess on display in the extensions for macproxy.
@@trekintosh Thanks! I filmed the screen using an Android app called ProShot, which lets you manually set the camera's shutter speed (1/60 worked best for me), and I used Final Cut Pro's Green Screen Keyer effect to cut out objects.
Having no room, I go for emulation. But it makes me so very happy to see machines from my childhood being preserved and the BlueSCSI and others are a huge part of that. It does break my brain a little that it has more power than the machine running it, tho.
I'm not sure what impressed me the most: the engaging/fun presentation, the hack you created, the perfect mixture of classic Macintosh + Earthbound battle backgrounds (and how great they went together!), the production value, or the presented content itself. I guess I just love that this video exists, thank you so much. Can't wait for the GC ASCII controller video!
This is so incredibly cool. Reminds me of a hacky fix I made to our player piano from 1997, which uses floppy discs in a special encoding to play music. I figured out how the encoding worked and was able to convert my own midi files into that encoding to use them on the piano. This was many years ago, but you've actually inspired me to revisit it. There might be a way to get audio streaming to work on the piano. It'll be hacky as hell but it has to be possible.
insanely amazing. rewatched your waveform vid in prep for this and damn you've still got it, i really appreciate the laid back-ness in an internet full of crazy dopamine inducing edits
Wow, this is amazing! Not only for the fantastic production quality. I feel like this is a great gift to the retro tech community. It will definitely get some use whenever a classic Mac comes across my bench. I’m also going to share this with Adrian (of Adrian’s Digital Basement) just in case he hasn’t already seen it. The Kirby music was an especially nice touch!
My very first computer was a Mac Plus. 1994, my mother was a home health nurse and one of her patients gave it to my mother. Turned out it was broken but my grandma was an elementary school teacher and loved Macintosh computers. She was a member of the local Mac club and I used to go with her once a month to the meetings. It was so cool! Turns out my little Mac plus just needed a new power supply and we had to find a bunch of single density floppies cause the drive couldn’t read the fancy double density disks (lmao😂) couple months later I had a working Mac plus with a Kensington track ball, and a floppy holder filled to the brim with games and boot disks and stuff. I loved it. I was 7. Then for my 8th birthday my grandma helped me buy a Performa 550 (refurbished of course). Thanks for that stroll down memory lane. I miss my grandmother.
your grandma sounds like an awesome person. how cool that she impacted your relationship with tech, and at such a young age! i'm glad yall have that connection together that you can carry with you.
Impressive patience, well done! I was a kid (Gen X) when the Mac Plus arrived, and there was a test drive promo where you would get to try it out at home overnight, and that was spectacular. My parents saved up money and bought it for $2,600 in 1984, well over $5,000 in today's inflation-adjusted price.
This is so well made. You wrote a program that simplifies webpages? And that was just one section of the video like it was nothing?? I’m excited for whatever you have next.
When in 5th grade, our classroom had 9 black and white Mac Classics. They were networked so we could practice our typing lessons during breaks, type up an assignment, or create something wild with the OG Kid Pix. Never would've imagined surfing the web or watching any kind of videos on those things back then. 😂 this is amazing!
The quality of this project and video are not only impressive but heartwarming. I've seen a number of amazing Macintosh SE/Plus projects come out in the past month and am impressed with the level of engagement the creators have with their projects. Thank you for making something special.
Hey, this is awesome!! I was scared I was the only young person still screwing around with old Macs, and you completely knocked it out of the park!! If I ever find myself with a Mac Plus I'll be sure to do this!
Thanks so much for watching! Despite the name, MacProxy Plus isn't Macintosh Plus (or even Macintosh) specific. As long as your web browser can set a proxy server, it should work. I recently got a similar setup working with Windows XP!
The dedication to put together so many tools to make that scope of a project come together is incredible, and the final product is made all the better from each individual piece. Kudos man, that is impressive as hell.
Welcome back! Great content (new subscriber here) and hope to see you upload again soon! Brings back memories because I grew up learning how to use computers on a slightly newer Apple Macintosh Classic II in the early 90s.
Started my day checking out niece tech videos, mostly from people in their early 20s. This one has exponentially more quality by any metric, great job.
Wow. You're brilliant! And I'm unquestionably qualified to verify this, as I've just had two glasses of wine. Great work. My mom's old Macintosh IIci has been sitting in a flooded garage for 14 years, so I'll definitely have to get some friends named Nick & Dan before I even think about attempting this magic trick. My hero. ☺
The image quality you get is really an interesting visual style. It kind of looks like a late 90's or early 2000's music video would not seem out of place in that style.
Glad to discover this comfy channel with the help of Mr. Algorithm. Great prosuction style. Thank you very much and please keep up the great work ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The web simulator is so cool! You should make a whole video on that on its own, I didn’t know AI could do that I was surprised how simple the code is for it, with most of the websimulator code being the prompt for Claude
It really is cool! I've been thinking a lot about "generative interfaces" lately. Maybe in the (nearish?) future, our apps and operating systems won't be so rigid, and we'll generate tools, toys, and interfaces on the fly.
This video: "Zero to Rick Roll in a cool 17 hours" Also this video: Plays Robo's theme from Chrono Trigger instead as the background music You are a person of excellent taste, indeed. o7
Great Video and really cool project! I managed to get it working on a Macintosh Classic II, but I have a question about the notTH-cam extension. Is the workflow correct that the proxy downloads and converts a yt video from the path in the videos.json file and the vintage mac then downloads a .flim file that it needs to play with the MacFlim Software? Also the thumbnails dont seem to work on any browser I tried (Netscape 2, MacWeb , Internet Explorer 2). I'm fully aware that this is just a fun project but just wanted to clarify if Im using it as intended. Thanks for your awesome work and happy New Year! :D
So, "Not TH-cam" does not connect to or otherwise interact with TH-cam in any way. The paths in videos.json point to video files stored on your host machine (how do they get there? that's your business :-) ). If you have MacFlim's "flimmaker" tool installed on your host machine, clicking a Not TH-cam link will pass the path in posts.json to flimmaker, encode the video as a .flim, then respond to your vintage Mac with the video file. For now, the thumbnails are just "empty images" - MacWeb 2.0 can't render inline images, so I just used html tags to display something "thumbnail-like", though it shouldn't be too hard to modify the code to change this. Thanks for checking out the project! If you're looking for a good browser for your Classic II, I just released my modified version of MacWeb 2 on GitHub: github.com/hunterirving/macweb-2.0c-plus
@@HunterIrving Thanks for the explanation and the Browser mod. I used relative (./) paths for some .mp4 files and that didnt work and got me confused, now with full paths it works :D
I think it may have been a once in a lifetime thing, lol. A while back I saw an iMac G4 at a thrift store, but they were asking wayyy too much for it, so I had to pass...

I have one as well. Never Gonna Give You Up sized down to fit on a 1440K floppy.

Interesting! There's something magical about those 'just barely possible' hacks, isn't there?
I could see the audio streaming being done by transcoding a standard MIDI track into their custom format on the fly.
