Looking at old tech and see if it still holds up today.
Also, I have been comparing the AI's Google, Siri and Alexa against each other (unfortunately Cortana no longer supports smart speakers so I can no longer include in the comparisons).

Apollo Futurebit BTC hash rate and profitability mining Bitcoin
Apollo Futurebit BTC hash rate and profitability mining Bitcoin: I have been running my Apollo Futurebit BTC on Slushpool for 4 days, gives an early indication of profitability .
** UPDATE ** October 2021: My UK Electricity distributor Symbio has gone bust and I no longer have 12.5p ww electricity, it is expected to jump to 22p kw and alas I can no loner mine profitably with this unit in the United Kingdom. I suspect the rise of power costs is being experienced across Europe.

TechNewOld: Apple iBook G4 1.33Ghz (2005) review in 2018
You have the voice to do documentaries so soothing to listen to and so British.
Well years later. i finally found the Panasonic for me it was actually a kind of a jackpot find i got it at my local Goodwill by my work for only $12 it was the Panasonic Ls86 8 inch portable DVD player. The hinges were in tack and no cracks or anything. Only problem was i found out that its missing the charger and none of the ones i have fit so although i did test it out and everything worked 100% I'm gonna need a cord that'll fit the jack of the player. But once i get the cable I'm set and plan to watch a few movies on it when I make sure the battery is ok on it. Which it seems to be for the couple minutes it was on before the empty battery icon started flashing. Oh yeah one more thing these LS86 players go for around $70 to $100 working so i basically made double my money if i wanted to sell this thing on eBay. Id say it was a good find and nostalgic to have a Panasonic again for the first time in many years
10 years after buying one on a holiday impulse,this junk looks like an 8 year olds toy.😂 And its garbage..avoid!

Hey, wildly specific question, but do you know if they can monitor video live over the AV/ Composite/ HDMI? Or does it cut the feed when your not in playback mode?
It is 68 degrees Fahrenheit now and you cut off Alexa and why is Siri female?

Useful post. I have used the Xacti C1 and until recently the CA9 for rowing coaching and taking still phots everyday on the beach. Sadly now I've broken the internal SD card connector due to a broken edge of the SD card so it can't use the internal storage. I've bought these on eBay for minimal cost compared to a GoPro and now looking for a replacement. So, I will check out the Panasonic version.
Hey wo is
I had older an Time Capsule, the 5Ghz band started failing, so I replaced it with a 6th gen A1521 Airport Extreme and was so impressed with it, I bought a second one, disabled the wifi router portion on my modem. At around ~$20-30 dollars on eBay/Craigslist/etc.., they're a pretty damn good investment. I have 1 Gbps Fiber Optic, and with these routers on the 5Ghz band, I get up/down speeds of 600 Mbps. I just bought a 3rd Airport Extreme to extend my network.
I like Alexa
Cool
Just bought the a1370 time capsule 😊 Anyway you have a good voice, sir. 😊
I can buy a Futurebit BTC without a node, how do I create a node without one from the company if possible. They are sold out of Batch 4 nodes.
Tks for sharing!
Most important thing here : it is not designed by some chinese vendor. It's safer to use than any currently available routers that are all designed & made in china.
Had my eye on a time capsule but then one has to remove the internal hard drive if need be. With these one can simply add an external usb disk.
great video
These are still very useful as long as you have managed expectations. Finding working batteries is getting tough. I just finished upgrading a friends 900mhz iBook G3. It natively boots into OS 9 and OS X 10.4. Ram is limited to around 650mb. Still, it surfed the web really well in Arctic Fox. Office 2008 still has a lot of compatibility with newer versions and even Docs, as long as the file is saved as DocX. I was so impressed with the performance of that iBook, that I want to find one like yours. He bought this for vintage gaming, which it does well. My Power Mac G5 can access OneDrive and iCloud for my files. I think this G4 should be able to as well. The two modern websites I use the most that really do not work well on PowerPC is Facebook and RUclips. Yes, there are work arounds, but at the end of the day, my phone is a whole lot easier to use. iTunes no longer works on a lot of older version of Mac OS X including Leopard. You can listen to internet radio and NPR podcasts (they must still use an older protocol). I found a podcast player extension for InterWebPPC (FireFox) that works well. It is easier to download your podcasts and then play them through iTunes or some other players. You can listen to Pandora commercial free (even without a premium subscription) using PianoPPC (I think that is the name). At the end of the day, using a PowerPC Mac is a novelty more than anything. I have so many modern computers (work laptop, personal Windows laptop, M1 MBA, Surface Go) that even if I was in a pinch, I wouldn't have to resort to using one of my PPC machines. Though, there is something undeniably neat about knowing that I could get by using my PPC machines. It is too bad Zoom and Skype, even the browser versions, no longer work.

Can you connect with strava?
Good time of day. Tell me if you know if this LS84 model can work from the mains, without a battery. I have a 12 volt 2 A pen power supply, when I remove the battery from the DVD and just plug it through the power supply to the outlet, nothing happens. I had an experience with another portable DVD, and there when you unfasten the battery, you can plug the dvd itself into an outlet and it works. So the question is, does this ls84 dvd work without a battery, just from the mains?
Thanks for this. I use both of these, in Oct 2022, each with a wired connection and creating a wifi network around it. Have used these and 1st and 2nd Gen Airport Expresses as Airplay clients. Entirely happy with the results. 3 children streaming social media at the same time, and no complaints. Happy to recommend.
Great feedback , thanks sharing
Pains like no access to usb device in Nas type systems. No vlans/tagging. No security customizations. Love all my airport devices. Just wish I could tweak for modern uses 😊
I think these u it’s are best considered for a backup network / private network at home or even just for guests. You should be able to attach a USB drive ?
Like the male voice for siri?
Cool. If the voice is the most important thing (and it can be as otherwise you get annoyed) I get it.
all this support the new sd card?
Not micro SD , one size up.
if the battery gets taken out does the camera forget info like time and date is that normal
are you mad? like yo 74 only? waste of time mate
What’s mad? What’s waste time?
The best of them is the dual band thing
Are you still running it despite the current price?
I sold it. I would not be running it today, unless I had free electricity. You could have it at a workplace or set it up at a coffee shop with a screen, yes, you could run it ;-)
I still have my LTC asic miners (from Futurebit), but I occasionally switch on to mine $NTBC
I can get one for $80 right now and I’m building a game room is it worth it? Does it work as a wifi extender?
$80 in my view is too much for this old tech. It may still work well but you should be looking for very low prices on these units.
That bead head is killin me 😅 great video though!
People still using these !
Can u mine LTC with it too?
No, this is BTC or equivalent. There is an ASIC LTC script version by Futurebit: an Apollo LTC and a Moonlander LTC
There are basicly mo cheap ASIC Miners. Im thinking about founding a company making cheap USB Asics(price aim would be 20-30$ a Unit) and smaller Miner available that provide Mining and Node(Podminer around 400-600$ range) capable equitment. Unfortantely Raspberrys are unobtanium atm and China doesnt help either for my first prototypes. On Europe Mainland i get totally overcharged for buying one of the smaller Asics! First we have to weather the upcoming Storm.
It would be great to make mining low cost . USB lottery miners good idea. No fans in the design. Or miners for a new currency. NTBC is a project worth looking at.
@@TechNewOld I heard so many people talking about buying usb miners just to get familiar with it. I looked up new asics chip in the range for 2-3 watts 5 volt. And they could achieve a better hashrate than these old school block eurpters(they also are totally overpriced with 100€ back in the day i bought one for 15€) and others. I heard the pools start to reject them in several reddit entrys.
Keep us posted
please do a setup tutorial
I no longer have the unit. The full version is very easy as it’s ready to go with Futurebit OS (Linux flavour) . The basic version a bit harder.
Sounds like this is worth it anywhere. even the US
idk why I'm watching reviews of apple laptops that are older than me lol 😂😂
Hahaha. You are getting into retro computing
Could you do a tutorial on how to setup this up with the Raspberry Pi?
No longer have the unit …
cool - 5 years are close to be with profit on my electricity (0.05 $) LMAO
That’s great electricity price! U.K. is now 0.3£/kw and going to 0.37-40 in October
I am still using 2 6th gen airport to create a roaming network. They still works great, each of them broadcasting 4 SSID (combined both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands). They can reach a maximum speed of 550Mbps on both upload and download and is still blazing fast(with a total of 25 devices connect via Wi-Fi to both APs). I am still happy with them and will continue to use them until there are too much device for them to handle (like the latency spikes suddenly or the speed limitation (QoS) by my router no longer works well.
Great to hear you are still having success … the device number will be the issue (modern routers/hubs good for 100 devices, and even that number may be too low one day). Shame that Apple does not release a patch to allow more devices , I’m sure it’s feasible .
@@TechNewOld I wish that they allow us to customize more like VLAN and customize each SSID, it’s encryption methods, passwords and frequencies.
they should make a router with a bunch of storage slots that go in the back so you can back things up to the router and then take the drives out and use them with Macs or iPads etc
Agreed. Most routers you get from provider should have USB . It’s then whether drive comparability/NAS , can be seen on network. The newer nests I find tend to be more limited . Maybe there is a software fix?
Found this while looking for a replacement for my 6th gen Extreme before it breaks. I had the 5th gen before that, and an express before that. Maybe I’ll just try eBay instead because nothing else I’ve looked at seems to stack up in terms of quality.
Well they still work and value for money. The big question is can they handle all the devices connected IoT
