FozzTexxFinally getting around to #Marchintosh! (Fighting with Apple II bugs on #FujiNet has kept me busy, but putting it aside for now.)
I'm pulling out my parents' old #PowerComputing PowerTower Mac clone and setting it up. Why? It's the one they used with this UMAX scanner, which has a special lid with a backlight. I found an old negative that I want to try scanning.
Hoping it all still works. Need to find a mouse and cables.

@GrapheneOS but they won't because integrating #Govware #Backdoors that are exploitable is what keeps them in business and allows for #Export & #Import in markets like #Russia, #SaudiArabia and others with #Cyberfacist rules.
- And yes, #Google and #Apple both host the #KSA's "wife-stalking" movement trackibg #App which is #malware of the Govware kind - plain and simple!
The only way #GrapheneOS is not going to get #shafted (i.e. licensed #MacintoshClones like #PowerComputing did when #SteveJobs took over Apple) is by basically not being dependent on Google's "benevolence" and instead collaborate with other vendors.
-Maybe @frameworkcomputer would be interested in doing a secure #Abmndroid-based #Smartphone that is actually repairable?
IDK but this will require a longterm strategic decision, as "bitchin' about it" won't change anything...
