« Last post by indibil on Yesterday at 10:52:48 PM »Hello.
I have a QS 800MHz that when you press the button, it starts and stops. I have dismantled the power supply and bridged the green cable with the black one, and when I connected it the same thing happened. The source is AcBel 614-0157 QS PSU like the one @Jacques shows.
So I followed the tutorial.
None are swollen. C10 gives a correct value. C13, C16 and C29 of 2000uF give me a value of 3300uF and about 3-4ohm of resistance. When it seems strange, I replaced them.
The power supply was very clean.
After replacing them the problem persists, exactly the same. The fan control daughter board has few capacitors. Today I will try to check and replace some more, but I am afraid that my power supply has another problem.

Software / Re: smh, the future of web browsing sucks
« Last post by IoIxD on Yesterday at 07:03:27 PM »i still cant beleive we now live in a world where the browser software developers are so f**kin lazy that they can only compile browser support for os'es from 2019 or above.. (the last 5 years)
Google Chrome and Firefox* support Windows 10, which was released in 2015. I can't find information on if they require a specific update to it, but I can find that Chrome also supports Windows Server 2016. Chrome also runs on a Pentium 4.
Both minimally support Mac from 2019 and Linux from 2018, yes. The former correlates with Apple dropping 32-bit support, which correlates with them not really caring about backwards compatibility, so I wouldn't be 100% angry at the browser devs. I think the Linux kernel devs also hold that same attitude, and in that case Antix Linux or Artix Linux exists and allows you to run a modern kernel on older machines.
There's lots of reasons to hate the modern web, but I disagree with this being one of them.
*at this point those might as well be the only browsers left. I really hope Ladybird is good...
EDIT: Ok I just realized that FreeBSD support goes back to 12.0, which is probably what you meant. FreeBSD is not the only OS though, and thus my point still stands.

Development & Programming / I made Modern API Documentation for Mac OS 9.
« Last post by IoIxD on Yesterday at 05:09:53 PM »I started becoming interested in Mac programming recently and was quite disappointed in the lack of good documentation for the C/C++ functions. Outside of literal scans of books, the only thing I could find was the Apple website which was only avaliable via Wayback Machine and had a horrible interface (a search bar that no longer worked)
So I took matters into my own hands.
This is generated via the header files from the copy of Universal Interfaces that I got with CodeWarrior 8. It's actually so new that it's intended for Carbon developers, but the functions that were removed in Carbon are still documented here.
Unfrotunately, "documented" is very literal here. It turns out Apple was horrible at documentation; many functions are not described and most struct fields are not either. I could probably find more information if I sat down and fully combed through the books, and if I do, I'm probably going to add it to this site. But in the mean time, this is better then what I found before.
I also invite anybody who has the time/knowledge to submit a pull request to the GitHub repo for the docs.

Software / Re: smh, the future of web browsing sucks
« Last post by Greystash on Yesterday at 03:03:19 PM »It is a grim outlook 
I've never bothered with proxying because modern web development has completely left behind the older browsers, they will never support CSS2 or the modern Javascript engines. You'd be lucky to find any relatively popular site that doesn't use any JavaScript.
I started a web directory years ago for websites that are still accessible to older browsers, which has a good list of old and new websites.
I also made a CMS website builder service where you can build websites that are compatible with older browsers and serve them over HTTP, but I've been the only customer so far with mac-classic.com and manticore.nz
I always thought a community of people serving new websites built to an older spec would be a fun idea. However, I don't think there's a huge market for these sorts of things now and people seem to be content with using their newer browsers, but maybe things will change!
