Found a G4 Cube waiting for the trash collection outside of my apartment, design is so beautiful I couldn't believe it's from 2000! It's basically impossible to find a power supply for it so it'll just be a little decoration for now 🤣

Interesting and well presented thanks from Orlando Florida. It’s great watching you guys tearing down a machine.

Friday is the first day for early voting in my state(North Carolina[A lot of the election laws such as early voting & voter ID laws are decided by the states, rather than by our national gov't here in the USA]). I'm definitely voting, but I'm not 100% sure when specifically(but probably on Friday or this weekend).

You need not only upgrade the g4 but your watch too :D

It's surprising that out of all of Europe, the only country that had a G4 cube power supply was Luxembourg because it's one of the smallest countries. It would've been more surprising if it came from Vatican City, tho. That being said, there was not a single result for "G4 cube power supply" on ebay for me, even searching "worldwide."

Personally, Tiger is the version of Mac OS X that I would install on a PowerPC, if it was supported because Tiger is the last version to support Classic but still new enough to be supported by TenFourFox & the like projects.
