Larger and better engineered than those cheapo little FM transmitters you might use in a car, the additional power allows the signal to travel through walls and with careful calibration can cover even a relatively large property. With a little spare time and the cost of the transmitter (mine cost $125), you can devise a scheme that turns any FM radio inside your house into a remote speaker with decent audio quality. The usual solution is to buy something like a Sonos, which are convenient and easy to operate, but streaming devices like that can have synchronization issues and they are definitely not cheap.īut there's another solution: set up a house FM transmitter. If I set something playing somewhere in the back of the house you probably won't hear it very well even just a couple rooms away. Our 2,400 square foot house has a rather curious floor plan: it's a typical California single-floor ranch but configured as a highly elongated L-shape along the bottom and right legs of the property's quadrilateral.

I'm always fond of giving my beloved old Macs new things to do, so here's something you can think about for that little G4 Mac mini you tossed in the closet.
Nevertheless, the Downloader is clearly accomplishing its goal, which is important given that many websites won't be accessible to Power Mac users anymore without it, so it will be a permanent addition to the site.Īnyway, let's talk about Power Macs and radios. In addition, some are Intel Mac users on 10.6 and earlier, which the Downloader intentionally won't grab for because we don't support them.
#RADIOSHARK HIGH POINT DOWNLOAD#
If you're using TenFourFox already (at least 38 or later), please just download upgrades with the browser itself. I note that some small number are current TenFourFox users, which isn't really what this is intended for: the Downloader is unavoidably - and in this case, also unnecessarily - less secure, and just consumes bandwidth on Floodgap downloading a tool to download something the browser can just download directly. After only a few days up with no other promotion, it's pulling down about 200 downloads a day. As a practical matter, though, unless you're running an iffy program locally there is no known JavaScript vector that successfully works to exploit Spectre (let alone Meltdown) on Power Macs, even on the 7450 and G5 which are known to be vulnerable to Spectre.Īlso, the TenFourFox Downloader is now live. However, it doesn't change anything for the G, since because they appear to be immune to Spectre-type attacks means they must also be immune to Meltdown. It's not clear if this is true for POWER4 (which would include the G5) through POWER6 as these processor generations have substantial microarchitectural differences. The big note is that it looks like Intel and some ARM cores aren't the only ones vulnerable to Meltdown Raptor Computer Systems confirms that Meltdown affects at least POWER7 through POWER9 as well, and the Talos II has already been patched.
As I watch Law and Order reruns on my business trip, first, a couple followups.
