The Ultimate PowerMac G4 Project – Part II – Geforce 4 Ti 4600 and Benchmarks

April 4, 2021 by chikorita157

The first attempt to get the Geforce 4 Ti 4600 was a flop. However, I am not letting the second try go in vain. I want to give a special thanks to the owner of Mac OS 9 Lives, DieHard for selling me his spare Ti 4600 and making this second part possible. This was the …

The Retro Pentium III Reverse Sleeper Build

April 2, 2021 by chikorita157

While building my Ultimate PowerMac G4, the Pentium III build wasn’t supposed to happen. However, it did when I decided to buy a Geforce 4 Ti 4600 PC version to flash. As you know, that didn’t quite work out as I shared in my previous post. Thankfully, I managed to buy a Mac version of …

The Ultimate PowerMac G4 Project – Part I

March 30, 2021 by chikorita157

As expected, as the pandemic continues, although it’s starting to show some sign that it’s finally getting under control thanks to vaccines, I don’t plan to go back to the office anytime soon. Also, I don’t plan to attend any conventions or any meets until the pandemic is really under control. This means very low …

Now that I finally done my training in VMWare VCenter, it’s time to implement it in my own home lab setup. So, here is part two of my home lab saga.

The Birth of the Tamaki Shimai Home Lab -Part I

July 24, 2020 by chikorita157

The Mac Pro dream is now dead at least for now thanks to Apple switching to their own processors. I initially wanted to buy a Mac Pro to replace my unstable Hackintosh. However, Apple decided to ditch Intel. As a result, it would be completely foolish to buy an expensive workstation that would become obsolete …

A Week of Anti-Consumer Practices – Twitterrific Screws Over Paying Users

June 15, 2019 by chikorita157

As expected, it seems that this week is full of anti-consumer practices. Besides the Game Freak stating that not all Pokemon will be transferable in their new games, Twitterrific pulls an anti-consumer practice by forcing a major update and putting ads back in for users. Now, users who payed $7.99 to remove the ads are …

Book Scanner or Manga on EBooks? – Fujitsu Scansnap SV600 First Impressions

June 8, 2019 by chikorita157

For awhile, I have accumulated a bunch of physical manga when I started getting interested in reading them. I didn’t buy digital since I didn’t have a good tablet computer. Also Surface Pro 2 is cumbersome to use as a tablet due to it being heavy. When I finally obtained an iPad Pro 9.7 first …

The Intel X99 Hackintosh Experience, Two Years Later

May 27, 2019 by chikorita157

Back in early 2017, I decided to build a Hackintosh for some reason since I want something more powerful. I decide to take the x99 route. I considered building something around the Intel x99 platform back in 2016 since there is more cores and memory expandability. Of course, installing it have become easier since the …

Gacha Results – Kirara Fantasia – Kirima Sharo Banner

I’m at it again as Kirara Fantasia finally adds the remaining girls from the main cast of Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka.Aside from adding Chiya, there is also her childhood friend, Sharo which has a crush on Rize. She is my favorite character from the series. With that in mind, I wanted to summon her. …

Gacha Results – Kirara Fantasia – Archive/Sugar Banner

April 21, 2019 by chikorita157

In most instances, Gacha mobage games can become brutal with very low rates when it comes to the rarest cards. Sure, you may get lucky and pull a super rare card on the first try or be very unlucky and not get anything, requiring several rolls. I have to admit that I was aiming for …

Jumping Ship or Why I am Ditching the Surface Pro After Five Years

February 1, 2019 by chikorita157

Back in 2010, I bought the first iPad when it first released. While it can’t really replace a laptop computer,  it was good for web browsing, writing short documents, reading eBooks and PDFs, and gaming. Also, these new tablets last longer since they used ARM processors opposed to Intel or AMD processors found in laptops. …

Goodbye Nvidia, Hello AMD Radeon

August 1, 2018 by chikorita157

It’s official. I have went over to the red team for video cards. It doesn’t come at a surprise given Nvidia’s anti-competitive behavior with the whole Geforce Partner Program fiasco, which they ended up killing after massive opposition. Aside from dealing with terrible Nvidia Web Drivers on macOS High Sierra and overall glitches with my …

Plans to Create a Mascot Character

April 2, 2018 by chikorita157

Back in January 2017, I planned on creating a Mascot character which will serve as my blog’s (Chikorita157’s Anime Blog) main identity and replace all those header images. Of course, the idea didn’t go anywhere since I do not have the funding for it. A year later and some crypto mining on the side later, …

OMake: Märchen Mädchen Production Woes

March 31, 2018 by chikorita157

Kyouko walked into Rie’s bedroom. She saw Rie crying in front of the computer. It appears that she watched episode 9 of Märchen Mädchen on Crunchyroll. She is a big fan of this show since she likes the characters and magical girl shows in general. Kyouko: What is the matter Rie? Rie: The animation in the …

The Continuing Comment Woes

February 22, 2018 by chikorita157

Since 2016, I have been struggling in getting more comments on my main blog at chikorita157.com. My main blog focuses primarily on Anime. Sure, I overreacted in April 2013 when I complained about the lack of comments. I basically cried wolf since 2013 is a very good year for comments with 637 made in total. …

3DS Capture Card Get

October 30, 2017 by chikorita157

Some home-brew is not quite a great way to capture since NTR capturing is buggy and doesn’t support DS /virtual console capture. Also, there is now a risk that Nintendo can ban your consoles if you use certain home-brew. Since I got a Vita capture card from Katsukity and still works after hours of streaming …

Passing of My Grandmother – A Short Reflection

March 8, 2016 by chikorita157

The past three months have been somewhat rough. Although things are going well at work, excluding social networking and blogging woes, it’s obvious that I have an actual life. The past weeks was rather tough since my grandmother has passed away yesterday at 91 years old from an untreated sepsis. While I got to visit …

Vita Recording Setup Relives

January 20, 2016 by chikorita157

During the Fall, my HDMI to Component converter has kicked the bucket just under a year. With that, I couldn’t record any Vita footage with my current setup. I thought about upgrading to a Game Capture HD, but it will pretty much render my HD PVR collecting dust forever. Not only that, the HD PVR …

Finally HTTPS

December 20, 2015 by chikorita157

I have planned on switching to HTTPS for various reasons not because Google now gives a small boost for sites that implement HTTPS, which implements encryption. These days, people are worried about privacy and HTTPS fixes this by encrypting HTTP traffic with a SSL certificate. This insures that traffic is not being snooped by hackers. …

Mac mini as a Home Server – Final Thoughts

October 3, 2015 by chikorita157

For awhile now, I have been thinking about getting a Mac mini as a home server since my WD Mycloud isn’t cutting it anymore. Before I moved, I used an old 2007 Dell desktop as a home server, which ran Windows Server 2012 Essentials. While it did the job as it serves as an active …

Daisuki is after your Posts Apparently (Update)

August 24, 2015 by chikorita157

Just today, I came back from work to find a usual message on Google Search Console that they removed a result to one of my posts on my Anime Blog. From the looks of it, Daisuki apparently removed some blog posts while attempting to remove links to illegal fansub downloads: Hello, Google has been notified, according …

iPhone 6 Impressions

June 20, 2015 by chikorita157

It has been over 3 years since I got a new phone, which was an iPhone 4S. It was a sizable leap from the 3GS as it sported a faster processor, solved the antenna issues, introduced Siri and vastly improved on the camera, which is okay, but still inferior to the Canon Powershot S110 I own. …

SSD in a PowerBook G4 Titanium

April 12, 2015 by chikorita157

You might be wondering, why would put an SSD in a 13-year-old PowerBook G4 Titanium? I happen to found one in good condition aside from a few chips from normal use with a reasonably strong hinge (hinge problem is common on the earlier models). Not only that, there is not that much wear on the …
