This is for those who victoriously last well into the wee hours of the morning, who can stoutly hack code until 5 AM. This is for you. For those who don't understand, fear the power of the Code Red, the One True Hacker Power source - it is an economical and tasty battery for your friendly local hacker,
With this stick you can modify your Apple TV without opening the case and removing the hard disk. It contains files from OS X 10.4.8, and while I would prefer to see a completely free and Darwin based stick, this is what is currently available.
This stick is created using the guide on the AwkwardTV wiki (04/16/2007 version): [url deleted as its not public domain.. yet]- all credits go to the authors there (Mactijn, Dobedobedoh, Hblaschka, Bjdraw, Aholtzma, Mikew, Skoops and Jason). I just cobbled it together.
This stick will automatically install and activate the Mac OS X ssh server on your device and also install the Perian Quicktime component (the latter is pretty useless until you install the Files Plugin for Apple TV). After you activated ssh, you can simply copy files to your Apple TV and modify it using tools like WinSCP or PuTTY.
Probably 1960s Stella reel to reel portable tape recorder, hacked to convert it to a guitar amplifier. Dimensions (in cm. excluding handle) L30 x H20 x D11. Run on PP9 type battery. Pretty loud and distorts well when cranked full. This is one cool looking baby.
My early 2007 MacBook Pro is starting to show some signs of wear and tear... so I hacked it with some Sugru!
The plastic coating on the cable was fraying slightly so rather than cover with electrical tape I used Sugru to wrap around and bind the junction. It is still nice and flexible so I can wrap the cable away as normal. Sugru is fine up to a high temperature (silicone) so I hope this will be a good solution.
I'd lost one of the small feet on the back corner of the machine, too. For symmetry I've covered the existing three feet with a little piece of Sugru, and stuck another piece where the missing one was - presto - some nice soft feet for it to stand on.
Taz likes to hack into Javscript programs on the Khan Academy website to figure out how they work (and spend a bit more time that he should ...) It is intresting to see how quickly he has learned how to program this way.
We were on of the fields being evacuated. Believe it or not, my tent was absolutely dry! The floor just felt like a waterbed ;)
First Hacks/Hackers Meetup held at Atherton Studio at HPR. Great presentations by Ben Trevino, Jared Kuroiwa and Misa Maruyama.
