eschaton posted:a Cinema Display HD goes even more perfectly with the MDD, honestly those are the ones with the two feet up front and the kickstand, right? hsc had a little 15" one that i played around with for a bit, and it was TN garbage i already have an ssd in the mdd via that same adapter, although it's a 40gb one since i did that before the bigger ones were affordable. really should get one of those cheap msata laptop pulls from ebay and stick it in there. probably do like a 128

eschaton posted:the one with the kickstand yeah, the 17 was OK but the 23in Cinema HD is the sweet spot, I used the original clear/kickstand model for many years and then replaced it with an aluminum its a fw800 mdd so its about as late as you can get. i figure my chances are good, but ill test it with a larger drive first if the larger displays are ok, ill keep an eye out. still gonna want to look at a functioning one before buying one sight unseen at a swap meet or craigslist or w/e though

The_Franz posted:i've had it happen where the terminal has nfc capabilities and pops up the wallet when i hold my phone over it, but after a few seconds it just makes an obnoxious noise with CARD READ ERROR on the screen and won't work until i insert the actual card this happened to me a couple days ago, but with a tap card. i saw the logo, held my card up to the reader, and it angrily beeped at me until i inserted it Endless Mike posted:yeah, if you happen to have a tap card, then you can use it at places that accept nfc payments. i don't know of any banks currently offering tap cards, but i haven't really bothered to look into it, so it's possible some do. costco (citi) visa

echinopsis posted:what’s a minimum. like a minimum sale? wtf? I’ve never heard of that minimum amount to use a credit card when i worked retail while going to school, it was $5. under that amount, we would lose more money to the credit card fees than we would make from the sale, supposedly

indigi posted:sincere question: we just got a bunch of iphone sixes to do some bullshit inventory/time management tracking where I work, and these things cannot maintain a consistent connection to our wifi for jack poo poo. I assume they're refurbs or something, but is this a known problem with that generation of phones or something? cause my Xs has no problem with the wifi here i dont know if its endemic to the model, but my brother's six has had all sorts of radio issues, including wifi anecdata ![]()

SRQ posted:(also to answer the cube question: yes and no, you'd need a specific mounting bracket for it but it would fit the socket.) yeah i know it would work (i think any g4 that is cool with 100mhz fsb will) but idk if it would survive with the cooling situation in there. yeah the optical drive is weird; tons of unused/wasted space, especially after you replace the hdd with an msata ssd
