here it is folks. the first overclocked mac mini.
“I have settled on 1.42GHz speed for my original 1.25GHz Mac mini. 1.5GHz settings gave me some glitches in Xbench Altivec routines and very weird behaviour at 1.58GHz”
some may say 6%. i say rock on!
some unnamed hackers show us how to clandestinely install a solar array system that feeds back to the grid. it’s very likely that this is _not_ legal where you live without the proper permits
“This program was written so i could control a tiny $10 remote control car (and to procrastinate homework). The lpt port pins (6,7,8,9) are used to control Forward, Reverse, Left and Right in the controller. In addition to this program, I had to build a simple circuit to bypass the buttons on the remote control.”
those r/c cars are just chock full of hackability.
it’s officialy monday again. another week of mindless drudgery and stolen red staplers. if going postal with a nerf gun isn’t your bag, perhaps something more subtle such as this mini claymore mine (Wayback Machine) would be more appropriate. you can make one from common materials found in your desk drawer and a strech of scotch tape provides a functional and decorative trip wire. yeah, probably a really bad idea
“This project started with a 1/6th scale RC Hummer from NewBright Toys . The idea was to build a fully functioning gaming computer – but to also be able to unhook all the peripherals and drive the truck around, when I got bored and needed a break.”
this mod is off the hook. thanks for the link filtronic.
tom horsley got rid of his land line but didn’t want to lug his cell everywhere with him when he was in the house. his solution was to hack together a light detection circuit, a wireless doorbell remote, and some paper mache into a giant incoming call noisemaker. if you want to build your own, you should also check out version 2 that he is working on.
thanks to everyone’s great feedback, i’ve now got a usb battery that’s much more efficient and capable of delivering more current to a portable device. like i promised, i put together a slick little case to finish this hack off right. read on for some tips on building your own.
