Looks like Macheist has another one planned to start tomorrow. Not sure if it is Macheist 4 or something related to Halloween or the holidays.

If you are into Macheist, should go in tomorrow or today for some teasers.

If you are not familiar with it, they give away thousands of dollars in software for a low price like $39 or less. I got some high quality software earlier this year through it and it is a good system. They donate money to charity from proceeds as well as entertain your brain with puzzles to solve to get more programs for free. :)

Have fun!

Picked my copy up last night. It took long enough for them to open up the heist but it did eventually happen. 5 days until another one happens apparently. There is still time to pick up your copy if you want it. :)

How do I solve the puzzle? I can't figure out what to do...

If you really want to know, I can PM you the info, but that would take the fun out of it. :) However, take a look at Twitter at this link. There is a major clue there. :)

Thanks for the heads up. They didn't email me, and I'm part of the email list.

No problem. I have been following their Twitter and got the info there. They don't tweet except during that time so it does pay to monitor it every so often. :)

You click the twitter button, tweet the message they put into your message box for you, and then go back to the page to click the link that is now enabled to let you download the program. The serial is in your loot, afterwards.

Don't even have to tweet it. :p Just click the button then return to the page.

Overall some pretty cool apps in the bundle this time around. I sort of relate it to their Christmas Giving Tree they had last year. There are some utilities I will use now and some later in this bundle. Since it is software being given away for free, I can't complain and like others am archiving it with my serial numbers and will have them ready if needed later on.

WriteRoom should be free anyway :p

I want TinyGrab since GrabUp hasn't been updated for Snow Leopard. Apparently I need to wait for my license to come through, or something.

Re-check your receipt, it should be there now, Mine didn't appear on my receipt until the day after!

We are on our way to the 6th app unlock... it needs 500,000 and we are on 134,000... I'm not too sure it will be unlocked 5 days left! :s

Grab these apps while the heist it's on guys. We need to reach the 500,000 mark in two days in order to also get Mariner Write for free.

Damn, didn't notice the other thread. You can close this one :/

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
