That external case you have for hard drives, where can I lay my hands on one of those, would do ideally for what I need.

Here you are my mom's lime iMac G3 400 running Mac OS X 10.3.9...

He has 192 MB of RAM and swaps alot but I already ordered 512 MB to

have a total of 640MB of RAM... do you suggest me to stay with Panther

or upgrade to Tiger?

I heard that upgrading to Tiger may bring some trouble, but should you have a copy at home, try to install it...

what about the battery life of your wireless keyboard...

how long does it last?

Battery has lasted 2 months so far, at this moment battery capacity is around 80% - Don't hesitate if your looking to buy one.

I got this one from a friend as a trade for a single drive enclosure (he didnt want to mess with finding an AT power supply for it); you can find them on Newegg by searching for RAID or multi disk enclosures. Make sure you get one that supports RAID, that way you can have redundacy for critical data. Personally, I use three of the disks for storage, and I will be using one for Time Machine.

Does that iMac have FireWire? You need that to install Tiger. And yeah, it will run allright on that. Not fantastic, but if I could watch the iPhone keynote on a 333 iMac with Panther, I think it would be allright on your iMac...just get PCIExtreme so you can enable quartz extreme.

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
