Internet, I found the serial no. for my first Mac on its original box! I sold it years ago and would love to get it back.

AIs can’t find it. Is there any way to track this down?? I know it’s a long shot, but it would be an incredible story if I could be reunited 🥹

I just learned today that the RTLSDR dongles come with the same USB idVendor, idProduct, and iSerial values programmed into the EEPROM.

Fortunately, the rtl_eeprom tool allows for the serial number to be reprogrammed and therefore the rtl_433 command can be modified to only decode received data based on the serial number of the dongle.

Program a new serial number:

rtl_eeprom -s dbdb0002

Decode from a specific serial number:

rtl_433 -d :dbdb0002 -R 40

the only time you should hand over your ID like a passport or stuff like that is when you absolutely need to. for example like crossing international borders, opening or operating a bank account or applying for a driver's license. those are all valid cases and highly regulated.

but this for profit corporation will just use your data to target you for profit. they even sold mobile phone numbers used for 2FA to advertisers. can you really trust them now with this nonsense?

Decades ago, it was possible to build your own Mac using spare parts and generic PC components. Given the tools and options available to vintage computing enthusiasts today, let’s see what happens when old meets new!

I 3D printed a vintage Mac that NEVER EXISTED

Really weird Carrot Weather bugs that crop off the top of the content on both iPhone and iWatch apps.

I'm doing it, I'm finally migrating to Codeberg from GitHub.

The migration process seems very painless...
