anyone know why my Macintosh 512Ke CRT has this vertical line? It only appears on the desktop crosshatch, not when a window or other gradients are displayed.

Dug out the DevTerm to update it and print some hard copy.

Writing up another post on My Macintosh. At first I didn't really like this keyboard, but these Akko Cream Blue switches are really growing on me. Still wish MacWrite knew was arrow keys were ⌨️ 🤷

Wrote up a blog post on the history of my Macintosh 512ke and how I started using it. ecliptik.com/A-Macintosh-... Post was originally written in MacWrite on the 512ke (a Plus now), saved via Localtalk to an AppleShare on a Basilisk II VM running on my Linux laptop, and the tidied up in vim.

Rate my setup: Innie Edition #Severance 🎈

Finished Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, overall I enjoyed the puzzles with echoes, but found myself using the same handful in most situations. Felt like the final dungeon could have been better too and the final boss fight was kind if meh. Still a lot of fun.

Setup ghostty today and it immediately became my terminal emulator of choice on MacOS and Linux. It addresses many papercuts I had with other terminal emulators, like dynamically adjusting theme based on the OS theme and selection/cursor contrast.

Time to play Mouthwashing, apparently it was "windows only", but thankfully we live in 2025 and Steam Proton is a thing. Is Windows even still a thing for more than Office and Teams?
