This is a real image of Haiku booting on a Titanium PowerBook G4.
For the first time ever.

It’s glorious
How do you make a Power Macintosh G5 Quad relevant in 2026? Add 16 GB of RAM, the best video card possible, install PowerFox, and you're good to go.
Oh, and get rid of the liquid cooling system, too, and replace it with better heat sinks and an air-cooling conversion.

I don’t normally promote Kickstarters, but this one is worth checking out. Collect retro computers - in arcade form! It’s practically MADE for retro enthusiasts, and it's a brand new game for the Apple II!

Did boot on my 15" Powerbook G4 (1.67Ghz), but for testing I have to wait that Trackpad/Mouse would work in a future version.

I was the intern in the office next door... ScanDisk was written in pure x86 assembly by @Lertulo, despite the fact that I spent a lot of time sitting in his guest chair asking questions like "What's EMS memory?"
You might think it's using some standard Microsoft text UI, but as far as I recall, he wrote it all from scratch.

I've put an extremely experimental Tabby installer in the Haiku forums thread. Link below.

More Book 386 exploring: can you feed in external video? Does the USB work with FreddyV's "faster" driver? Does the display panel support more than 800x600? How does scaled video look? What's the thing look like inside? Let's find out! Time for a 🧵

Hey guys! I hate to post this kind of thing, but I figured I would reach out as I am in need of employment. Looking for any engineering/technician related position, willing to relocate down-the-line but only when there's enough equity in my house where I can sell it. Let me know!

Hey everyone. If you watch my show you probably know of Clint aka LGR. Two of his cousins were in a house fire recently and unfortunately one passed away and the other is injured. The family is raising money to help out everyone who was affected by this tragedy.
Please donate and share when and if you can. Thank you. ❤️
