So I got myself one of these and I'll end up gutting it and making it ATX compatible sometime.
I just bought it for the case but it turns out it's working perfectly, so before I go ahead and take it apart; are there any neat things you can do on PowerPC OS X?
>>55538138
you can install gentoo on it
Liked, commented and subscribed to your blog!
Using this Pro 1 1 as my daily driver, it's not without flaws but it's functional. The computer was free and I've only spent ~100 dollars putting hardware into it including the 32gb of ram in the mail.
>>55538255
Mac Pros are Intel though
Not sure what it would be useful for. I just finished repairing an old 2006 Intel Macbook Pro. Might just use it as a shitposting machine. Not sure if I'm going to keep OSX or install Debian. 160GB seems like a fair amount of space to hold all my rare Pepes either way.
I bought a fully functional powermac g5 for $30 from a friend the same purpose
I decided to install linux on it for fun but I get horrible artifacting on the screen because the gpu isnt compatible or something, so I have to use software rendering which fucking blows.
the fact that it has two watercooled PPC cpus is pretty cool.
>>55538463
Those are good machines for shitposting, especially if you've gotten it for free.
>>55538255
>xeon
>powerpc
>>55538138
What particular model do you have? I wouldn't gut it if it was something nice, I think the Intel Mac Pros are better candidates for ATX conversion anyway, more expansion capability and the hardware isn't as special.
I've got a 2 GHz dual-core G5, it's a pretty good runner, some of the fastest affordable non-x86 hardware you can get your hands on, lots of software you can get for them through the Macintosh Garden among others, I mostly use mine for emulation and general putpose stuff like web browsing.
You can also run exotic platforms like MorphOS on them, if you want to try something new.
I got one of these for free a few days ago.
It was running OS X but that felt really slow, so I installed OS 9 instead.
It's my first encounter with OS 9 and I'm liking it so far.
Best things to run on it now are Classilla and Myst.
>>55538463
Slap a cheapo 120GB SSD and 4GB RAM and you have a perfectly capable daily driver unless you /v/
i have a dual core ppc g5 powermac with 2 500gb ssd's 32gb of ecc ram and its running freebsd.
>>55542364
How'd you get 32GB in it? I thought those things maxed out at 16.
>>55542542
not all of them maxed out at 16
>>55542556
apparently they do max at 16 officially but they can take 32GB configs according to upgrade dealers
neat

i really want a 17 inch c2d macbook but they're still pretty expensive
>>55542733
not worth it anymore since macOS Sierra just dropped support. Also not to mention the class action lawsuit against nVidia and the 8600m GT.

>>55542801
I'm the dude with the 2006 MB Pro. I got a 32GB USB flash drive. Went on the pirate bay and torrented OSX 10.7 Lion. Then I used a Windows program called transmac to format the flash drive and write the OSX install DMG to it. After that I just plugged it into the mac and pressed the option key while booting. Went into disk utility and wiped the HDD. Then I installed OSX on it. Sounds complicated but it took me about 45 minutes.
>>55542633
Not uncommon for older Mac hardware to officially max out at whatever was available at the time they first shipped. Higher density memory usually ships long after the release of these things. I had a 68k mac that officially maxed out at something odd like 12MB, but ran fine with 32MB salvaged from old 486 boxes.

Old Mac general? Sweet.
So I have a neat little 12" G4 iBook, which actually runs pretty well, although web browsing is pretty slow. Currently have it dual-booting both Tiger and Leopard, since the former still has Classic support, but the latter has slightly more modern software available. However, I cannot for the life of me get Classic mode working under Tiger. I took an existing System Folder from several sources, including an even older G3 iBook I have lying around, and it refuses to recognize it. I've read something about having to "bless" it, but that never seems to work. Everywhere else I go seems to suggest it should just werk.
Anyone know what's up?

Tiger ran great on the G5s and speedier G4s. I like the look of Leopard and Snow Leopard better though. I wouldn't recommend running any of this connected to a network as its all horrifically outdated. I really wish Debian had included PPC in Wheezy long term support as there are KMS issues with video cards in newer kernel versions. You will also have to tinker with blacklisting audio modules and adding important ones like windfarm or whatever the module is that keeps your G5 from taking flight. I would love to have an Open Power server, but they're so god damn expensive I'll have to settle for an ARM Cello.

Believe it or not, PPC is still supported and being worked on in the Linux kernel. Obviously nowhere near the support it use to get. Freescale still makes PPC processors and newer IBM Power CPUs are supported under ppc64el architecture.
>>55550387
> I wouldn't recommend running any of this connected to a network as its all horrifically outdated.
I don't think it's really much to worry about unless you're running it as a server, which you can remedy pretty easily using updated packages off of homebrew. Tiger has up to date web browsers too, and OS X disables pretty much all potentially insecure services by default.
Besides, it seems pretty much all of the major CVEs I've seen skimming around for these kinds of discussions in the past seem to all require you to install some sort of malicious application on your system before the attacker can execute code remotely.

Debian Squeeze was the last just werks Linux distro for PPC Macs in my experience. Wheezy was alright but took some adding and blacklisting modules. depending on the hardware, to get things working right. Jessie uses a newer kernel which introduces KMS issues. If you're running a straight up headless server, the windfarm module is the only thing you need to worry about. Does 3d acceleration work properly on Open/FreeBSD?

You must be 18 years or older to post here.
>>55552178
I never said that, but they are computers and we are on a technology board. They're more worthy of discussion than whatever piece of shit you're using to post.
>>55552206
So leave.

I refrain from shitting up iThing and Android threads because, in my opinion, they are consumer appliance OS. I refrain from shitting up video game threads because, in my opinion, they belong on /v/. What is it about this thread which you dislike? Do you think this is an Apple shill thread, because this is all old hardware which most people have discarded. If you hate PPC, how do you feel about ARM or do you not care about what hardware is in your cellphone? What makes you come to /g/?
>>55552213
I wasn't talking about the kind of computer you use, I meant the part where you have to be 18 to post here. You're right, you do. So stop posting.

Jesus fucking christ, all of you get a fucking life.
Can't say I'm all to surprised at the backlash considering the state of macfag trolling and bait threads constantly right before I left, but the reversal and the degree of the shitposting is ridiculous now.
>>55552249
What about this thread makes you such a pissy little bitch? You're only bumping the thread and keeping it here longer. I don't understand what you autists have against making use of old hardware. It works ok and it's dirt cheap.
>>55552284
>>55552305
What do you hope to accomplish by posting recycled webms from /b/? I'll make sure I post an old mac thread every week from now on.
>>55552273
>he's not just sitting back and enjoying the show while occasionally baiting one side or the other to stir up more shit
Apple threads on /g/ are just shitposting entertainment threads, you just gotta roll with it.
>>55552325
The iPhone threads and obvious shill threads are cancer. A decent thread like this comes along and newfags shit on it because they're consumerist children who would rather buy a new graphics card to play gaymes than make use of what they have. Fuck off, fag.
>>55552273
This kids balls will drop and he will grow out of it. It would be nice if hiroshima would add some more mods and jannys though. In the meantime, there's always lainchan.

>>55552371
Because you're ruining a good thread.
>>55552359
Fuck off, you're included in the fags that need to be cleansed from this board. I left a year ago because of you shills, but this is even worse. Fuck you cocksucker cunts for shitting up the board so much that it came to this. Guess I'll check back in again next year.
>>55552390
>implying anyone's getting paid to shill 10 year old hardware with an architecture its manufacturer doesn't even support anymore
You're fucking delusional. Get over yourself you piece of shit. Nobody's pushing anything on you, we're just discussing technology about a brand that for some reason triggers you. Do us all a favour and hide the thread.
>>55552402
This.

So this thread? Look how that turned out.
>>55552390
>I left a year ago because of you shills
I'm not shilling anything, Anon. Why are you so upset that we couldn't even have an old Mac PPC thread? What do you want to see on /g/?
>>55552497
No fucking shit you dumbass. Having relevance to Apple != shitpost. These are shitposts

We're not trying to get you to buy anything. Hell, I'd tell you not to buy a new mac. OSX Yosemite and later is pure shit. Same with iOS.
>>55552467
>implying it was a shitpost
These computers were made over a decade ago. I understand that you were probably a small child when they came out many of us here used these in our young adulthood. Many of us used these in high school when they were newer.
This a thread for the appreciation of old technology. If you don't like it, why are you bumping it?
So can anyone here tell me some good reasons why this thread shouldn't be up? What's wrong with using old macbooks? You can use Windows and GNU/Linux on them but some of the really old versions of OSX aren't too bad. My mac is still working fine after 10 years. So why the hate? Nobody is telling you to buy anything. Hide the thread if it bothers you all so much. Let it 404. There's no good reason not to buy old hardware unless you're /v/ cancer. These computers are cheap as fuck and last forever unlike the new ones.
>>55552639
They can't. They're just a bunch of 12 year olds in that blind hatred stage where it's cool to hate Apple but nobody really knows why.
>>55552588
You're so insecure with your current hardware choice you can't even allow people to discuss decade old technology. I guarantee the non shit posts ITT have all kinds of hardware just laying around because we enjoy technology.
>>55552647
I see a guy covered in shit. It's funny how you can imply I'm gay for using a mac but you keep male scat porn on your phone.
>>55552672
>cherry picks a piece of a sentence without making any real counter argument
Wew lad. Opinion disregarded.
>>55552698
You're not answering any of my questions here >>55552639 you stupid kid. Instead you run around ruining perfectly good threads with scat porn like the closeted homosexual that you are. Also read the rules, newfag. You deserve an IP ban.
>>55552751
How stupid are you? Answer the questions.
>>55552145
How long does a new one last?
>>55552639
I would love to own one of those older Macs, where can I find one?
>>55538138
Sorry, if it was early 08' model, I could've given all kinds of advice. With powerpc, no idea.
I still have my 3,1 and just put in SSD (through cheap pci card) and upgraded to USB 3.0.
This thing runs like a dream and incredibly useful. The boot time is insane. /g/ can suck it. For a TECHNOLOGY site, this place is retard when it comes to quality tech (which this clearly is).
>>55552779
A new battery lasts for about 3-5 hours on a full charge. Look around on ebay. The used ones are like $80-100.
>>55552770
Answer the questions. Stop avoiding them.
>>55552809
Get a new battery 3-5 hours is very good.
What should I search for? And are they good even if you have a good computer?
>>55552825
Here's what I'm thinking about buying: www.ebay.com/itm/Powerbook-G4-Powerbook-5-2-Apple-Laptop-Mac-OS-X-10-5-PowerPC-G4-2GB-80GB-/131875666420?hash=item1eb466f9f4:g:CkIAAOSwepJXbB8S
I currently have a late 2006 13 inch pro. Has upgraded RAM and storage.
>>55552831
Answer the questions or admit you can't.
>>55552938
A sub-$100 PowerBook G4? Damn, either they've really gone down or you found a great deal
>>55552950
Yeah dude. I told you they're dirt cheap now. I found a 2011 17 inch for just over $100 starting bid. These computers are as cheap as thinkpads with the same specs.

And you're too fucking stupid to stop replying to me. Who is the cancer here?

It appears you're too dumb to do anything but worship the same decade+ broken trash over and over like the psycho cult zombie you are. You're going to die alone with your fruity toys.
This was pretty good when I had one. Think I might buy another one. They're all really cheap.

I think we both know how that joke ends.
>>55552938
Desktops?
>>55553203
No, really don't care for them. I've always liked laptops better because they're portable. The closest I have is a thinkpad t400 with a dock and second display and keyboard.

To be fair, Windows 10 is nearly perfect. Once they get all the control panel stuff ported/upgraded there will be literally no reason to hate Windows.

>>55554190
You stupid nigger, it's not spying. They take telemetry data to see how people actually USE the OS so they can know what to improve.
They're not just collecting it so they can fap to how many windows you have open at a time, but so they can know how many windows the average person has open at a time.
I simply do not understand why you morons give them such a hard time for trying to do research to improve usability of their products. Fact is, they can't rely on surveys because people don't truly know how they use their computer and some would be downright dishonest if asked. Telemetry is just measured metrics they can use to get an accurate view of how users use.

Imagine a giant cock flying towards your mouth, and there's nothing you can do about it. And you're like "Oh man, I'm gonna have to suck this thing", and you brace yourself to suck this giant cock. But then, at the last moment, it changes trajectory and hits you in the eye. You think to yourself "Well, at least I got that out of the way", but then the giant cock rears back and stabs your eye again, and again, and again. Eventually, this giant cock is penetrating your gray matter, and you begin to lose control of your motor skills. That's when the giant cock slaps you across the cheek, causing you to fall out of your chair. Unable to move and at your most vulnerable, the giant cock finally lodges itself in your anus, where it rests uncomfortably for 4, maybe 5 hours. That's what using a Mac is like.
>>55554266
If it's really used for such a noble purpose, why can't I turn it off or opt out? I bought the computer and the OS license. It's an NSA botnet. It's installing itself on peoples computers and doing all kinds of other shady shit. You're part of the problem.
>>55554282
Nope. I also enjoy cereal.

>Windows 10 is nearly perfect

Can't natively mount arbitrary filesystems (even OS X can do this)
Openly spies on everything you do
Only benefit it has over Linux or OS X is that you can play video games
>>55553953
Complete retard m8, your comment is just simply wrong haha the world runs off Windows DEALWITHIT.iso
>>55554001
My comment was a little bit of bait anyway and you bit the hardest lad. Also consider this you fucking dumb ass, what if the hardware limits what OS you can use on it. Has that blown your mind?
