this reminds me of this fucking bullshit.
people like this should be dissected. and their organs used as reparations.

His content is good enough to overlook some ass-covering tweets to get the twitter mob off his back.

He hated that mobage of Commander Keen, and for that he is ok on my book

 

[Noonman]

Nobody except MAYBE Todd Howard liked that Commander Keen mobile game

The 8-bit guy? More like the 9mm guy, amirite?

Also, where's the Techmoan YTP series? That one's legitimately hilarious.

 

[Troonos]

What's it a prototype of?

 

[UCHUBomb]

Eh, it's definitely stupid but it's not a big loss. It's not like he blew up a Cray.

Why do redditors lack so much appreciation for old things? Some retards were actually defending OP because "consoles bad"

History isn't as valuable as upvotes and internet stickers.

He's even shown his gun on a YouTube video. He also has a second channel called Awesome Airguns, but he hasn't uploaded to that in years.

He's an airgun enthusiast? So.. a felon?

So that Xbox PC dude was only pretended to be retarded, before abandoning Reddit altogether.

What's it a prototype of?

An executive workstation, or compact version of the IBM PS/2. Nothing of any relevance to anybody but collectors.
And he did not destroy it. He only damaged a power supply that could be easily replaced with a modern replacement. The worst part was cutting into the power supply case, in a place that is only visible when the computer case is opened.

Why does everyone care about this, go buy a proto yourself and save it if you care. I hope he lights it on fire next since its his property.

Looks like the Glock is real and he is just your typical Texan who takes a rifle to the sandwich shop. I guess the airguns are another nostalgic hobby, like the old computers and synthesizers.

If anyone want any of the other prototypes they are still on the warehouse, the damage was nothing irreparable, and the things were in a box for 30 years ffs, i was interested more in the one that came with a colour monitor

The PC he broke was one of five found at Computer Reset. Which is mecca of old compture shit in Dallas. None of them fucking worked properly. The only thing David did was blow a fuse. Someone in the comments said he bought the wrong fuse. Nothing melted or was set on fire. So the PSU is probably fixable.

Now if the other parts of the PC are toast, well...

I think I'll stick with Adrian's Digital Basement and his "Mini Mail Calls" that run for an hour and a half.

Not 100% related but I was given 16 vintage macs, all not working last week, and all with a few screws missing at best, or put back together so badly that the CPU's got unseated, or other shite things to fix like blown caps or voltage spikes that burned out a chip or two. Some are never gonna get fixed, so I'll probably just put the keyboards and mice on eBay then the computers will more than likely go to eBay as spare/repair for some nerd to either electrocute themselves messing with the CRT or turn them into a fish tank or a hipster light..

One thing I'm so happy about is I found some replacement PRAM batteries at of all places the little shack near me that replaces batteries for watches, phones, hearing aids and home stuff yesterday.

He gave me the whole sheet of 32 of them and said I could have them if I put a quid in the PDSA charity box because apparently they haven't been manufactured for at least the last 5 years, and all had an expiry of 2018, so he said he couldn't sell them and just hadn't got round to binning them.

They all work, but a lot of the old macs are gonna be fucked off into landfill at some point in the future if there isn't an alternative... (There is but it involves a 3d printer, a very expensive battery and a lot of soldering, which most people can't do.

Update:

Fixed 9 so far. Only 2 seem unrepairable, all the real vintage ones have had their horrible 60MB HDD's replaced with 8GB SD Cards (for some reason 8GB is cheaper than 1GB now, and far cheaper than trying to get 128MB cards. Still have to do 64MB partitions though. , the 10-20GB ones have all had their storage upgraded to 16 or 32GB SSDs (No point in larger ones, and you can get 16 and 32GB ones second hand for same price as a decent beer now that cheap large capacity SSDs are a thing. Hell I got a box of untested 32GB SSDs for less than a fiver just after lockdown started on eBay. The postage was more than the actual drives). All in all a good haul. Cost me more for the Scuzzy (SCSI) to SD and IDE to SATA converters.

Mehdi approves!

He looks like the kind of guy who'd molest his nephew.
