Are they going to offset cancellations with ad revenue?

I'm out.

If you need to connect them physically, I think you're blocked by HBA chipset support in macOS.

There is a path, but it's not what I'd call "good". Thunderbolt to Firewire to SCSI. It's a dongle Rapunzel and you're reliant on device enclosures for power.

May be better with a native PCI-e or PCI HBA and 700W power supply and a junker ATX Linux machine to provide network shares.

Agreed. Even if it's possible to get a combination of adapters to allow a SCSI interface to be attached to a Mac (and assuming the correct driver support is present), I think getting an old PC and an old SCSI adapter card may be cheaper.

You could do "network shares" as in mount the filesystem from Linux and export over Samba/NFS/etc; it would probably also be possible to export the drive as an iSCSI device and mount HFS(+) filesystems directly from the Mac.

I considered the Linux box solution, and fear you're probably right, but it just feels like such a waste... for something that should be so simple with all this Mac Book horse power and Thunderbolt interfaces.

That is a ridiculous statement.

without Sparkfun, whose catalog could they have scraped?

Without Sparkfun developing the business model for them to copy, where would they be?

You mean the radio shack business model?

The Heathkit business model?

The Eico business model?

Jameco? Digikey?

you wouldn't know of them if they had emulated any of those.

That makes his conduct is even worse

you just called out nate, which is the thing he specifically won't do to you, phil.

you have scraped sparkfun.com plenty. I know, I've seen the server logs.

regardless, there is no longer private drama.

Buildroot is awesome and deserves more love

When do we ever say Nintendo is good now because it plays Sony titles?

Why are you holding computing to the same standard?

I'm curious as a non-gamer. The article seems to be entirely about Windows gaming.

> as a non-gamer.

As a non-gamer, you might not fully grasp how entrenched Windows is for game development, distribution, content creation and modding. This is significant and reporting on it is good stuff, even if it's outside of your niche.

If it did, we would.

What?

It is. It'd be weird if it wasn't.

They remain consumers at their peril.

Yes, mine bowed eventually even though I put non conductive closed cell foam under the cpu areas.

Still, I made good on my promise to never return to single core machines.

And presumably rely on discord despite MQTT?

You can stop though. Nobody on this side is served well by these ideas.
