Druaga1's PowerBook Curse

[@AdamBGames]

druaga1 video in 4 words : Simple idea, convoluted outcome

[@TheRedCap]

Sounds an awful lot like Apple to me

[@lilstonedfoxplayground4182]

blood sacrificed has been made. you have appeased the computer gods.

[@frank668]

If I recall correctly, Yellow Dog Linux was what the US Air Force used for their PS3 supercomputer cluster, that's probably why they have a PS3 build.

[@noahdejesus5601]

Thanks KZbin for randomly recommending this to me.

[@Fesiug]

no prob

[@heytherecool]

+LightOnOff (Fesiug) hi youtube

[@1300l]

Hey smoker, welcome ;)

[@retimarci]

And you enjoyed this video and Druga's sarcasm? ^^

[@nurullahaksay]

welcome, smoker

[@itzspencerr1403]

I'm in Journalism class... But Druaga1 made a new video thus I have to watch it in it's entirety, because Druaga1 is my religion.

[@derpinbird1180]

Hey you have already got journalism 101 down packed may as well watch it up.

[@albertcazares9092]

In Soviet Russia...

The future of the nation... Another Smoker :P

[@caharkness]

@Joke, You make it sound like getting a job is destiny or something. The fact is that you will never get rich working for somebody else because you are helping them get rich. Journalism is definitely on the other end of the "work force" spectrum and is usually freelancer work. Successful freelancers often hire people like you so you can have a "job".

[@paincreatesfame]

spending my entire sick day off school watching druaga1 is the only proper thing to do

[@ProtoMario]

Confirmed 31:07 Duraga1 is Scarce

[@burgerindividual]

ProtoMario holy shit ur right!

[@mehrabuddin4497]

LOL

[@nyxiehero5979]

since I am scarce............when it comes to dvds

[@user-fc4so8of8o]

Eating cooked eggs and watching Druaga destroy ancient art, what a life.

[@PhaQ2]

Thanks Druaga1. I have had more than my fair share of complete failures and much shedding of blood on sharp PC case edges. I thoroughly enjoyed and shared your pain.

[@advancedsimpleness6345]

You didn’t physically break the PowerBook, you mentally broke it. It was positive thinking holding it together, and when you gave up hope, the computer broke.

[@wielku]

You literally shed blood to make this video :D

[@loganbahm]

skipped school yesterday and today to watch, thanks 4 upload bro

[@SenkJu]

logan dont do that

[@darkmagnet21]

I'm going to tell your teacher Logan

[@Antonio-he4oh]

logan good

[@DyoKasparov]

That's how it's done, my man xD

[@fancysnake1]

Same but I had surgery :)

[@RubyIsBored]

previous video: no more weed jokes, This video: a weed joke in the intro

[@tOSdude]

1. RW discs can be erased and re-burned. 2. Try plugging in the drive you were using instead of letting it run on magical thoughts.

[@SOF006]

You don't understand, Druaga makes videos under the intention of doing things the most difficult way possible.

[@SilverBlazeBrony]

It's true.

[@Kritical_Fail]

number 2 OMG XD

[@Kolroling]

I second that!

[@LightyNourT]

Finally, a Druaga1 video I can waste my time with. :D

[@TheRedCap]

"Oh boy a druaga video! eh, I didn't need to sleep anyway" every damn early druaga comment...

[@studiopapa5874]

That trackball looks like a horrible cyst growing out of that poor machine.

[@mspeter97]

What Druaga1 didn't know was that PPC Macs can't *normally* boot from USB. At least not when using the boot picker. But you can always do some magic using the OpenFirmware command line to boot from USB.

[@jbrooks4282]

Le Docteur "boot usb1/disk@1:,\\yaboot" or something like that.

[@iGuy7777]

yes I could install Linux on a g5 from USB with this guide: ben-collins.blogspot.ch/2010/08/booting-your-ibook-g4-from-usb-stick.html

[@jdpruente]

On top of that, he should have used dd on the G4 to write the image to the USB so it would actually have the boot blocks and not just files on a file system.

[@EdwardJamesBickels]

The usb drive should have been using the apple partition map. I believe all ppc macs require this to boot

[@iGuy7777]

he did write it in rufus using dd mode, that shouldn't be the problem

[@davidbosilj]

When he said we might use compact flash, my heart stopped for a second

[@frozensys]

The axle of your Conner hard drive is blocked. I revived mine by opening it carefully, giving the platter a gentle rotating move (not touching platters, touching the center), and while I was there, putting a couple drops of bicycle lube. It worked for some times, then the power adapter broke (you can apparently open those non-destructively by clamping them on a vice, check on the 68kmla forums). Also, macs boot from a floppy by default. To eject the floppy, keep the mouse button pressed whilst booting.

[@Essometer]

This is exactly how all my hackintosh projects go, every time. Your Sunday is over and you haven't get shit done.

[@Bp1033]

guy tries to computer, everything breaks.

[@corygreen1895]

Laptops on the carpet and OLD? This is why I love you Druaga

[@DrFoxter]

Hey Druaga1 I'm a fan of your videos and don't worry, i still liked this video a lot as it made me laugh many time. Keep on making them, they help me relax after a hard week. Thank you and keep on smoking.

[@dragom3417]

LOL, one of the best videos yet! Everyone who has been a tech for any amount of time has had these kinds of days.

[@Pilotgeek]

Whenever I feel like I'm not an idiot, I listen to your videos. Just to know that there's someone out there literally exactly like me.

[@AiOinc1]

The difference between the new MacBook Pro and the PowerBook 170 is that System 6.0.8 will start up significantly faster than Mac OS X could ever hope to *dream* of. It doesn't matter about raw computer power - it's efficiency. Intel proved that in the early 2000s with the Pentium 4 vs. AMD's Athlon series.

[@AiOinc1]

That CMOS battery isn't soldered on, it's spot welded!

[@sithsiri]

omg it's because of the os, not the "efficiency" of the cpu

[@ethanruckert3871]

Doofus Industries dude your so right!

[@24kben]

Rufus is awesome software that works perfectly. The problem is that PowerPC macs with "old world" boot loader don't support USB booting

[@jonmahashintina]

This episode sponsored by Ireland. Curse of the Powerbooks! You must slay the Powerbook gohst and free yourself!!

[@averyoriginalname1547]

i like gohsts.

[@NepgearGM6.1]

t'is fellow wtf ghosts are dangerous

[@bnmc]

DRUAGA1 VID LES GO Again, don't care what you upload. I will probably be here until you quit, if you do. Don't care if you don't upload anything at all for a while, I'll still be here. You can at least count on having one reliable viewer. -BNMC0919

[@everythinggtav621]

a druaga1 video always brightens up my day

[@stanstrum9920]

Taking apart and reassembling (especially) is the most terrifying and scary thing you will ever do

[@spectrHz]

omfg this video represents every single time I install OSes.... so much back and forth... Awesome video though :3

[@MaximNightFury]

"Who wants to use their DVD like a flash drive?" _laughs in DVD-RAM_

[@loxyx781]

Never have I been so happy to click on a youtube recommendation.

[@hipolitosegismundez]

Surprised he didn't name the USB drive "yellow dogg"

[@HarryMimigiannis]

I really admire your patience. Keep up the good work

[@whiskeyjuliet]

Hope you didn't cut yourself up too bad on that powerbook. That OpenArena flashback comment really got me tho.

[@animedudevid]

I keep hearing how wonderful Mac designs are. But that tear down was ridiculous.

[@amanguver]

I still have my unopened Lightscribe CDs from 2006

[@AEX10]

amanguver Send me one, I have a lightscribe drive

[@applepinez]

AEX10 Buy a pack from Amazon

[@AEX10]

Duffel Bag Full of Tech I'm joking lol

[@BenEsherick]

except that wasn't last week

[@iMarbot]

One of my like 10 laugh for minutes till I choke moments at the end. 10/10 Would Powerbook again!

[@jakesbase5657]

At 45:39 I started bawling

[@benjaminbrady2385]

The all-new Macintosh Paddybook 170

[@NepgearGM6.1]

Benjamin Brady introducing the MacBook 420

[@TheOnlyITPro]

+Druaga1 I recently had to reinstall OS x for a customer on a PowerBook g4 and it turns out it doesn't natively have support for USB boot only firewire. The way to boot to USB is you have to go into command line and do a bunch of commands in order to make it recognize the USB as a bootable device and boot through the command line. Hope this helps, love your videos keep up the good work.

[@adwaitagnome]

10:42 those words prove that Druaga1 will try to put an SSD (or some form of NAND storage) into everything.

[@howl3098]

Make a series called "Will it Compact Flash" That would be amazing

[@bobmanuk]

next time, destroying the bastard laptops that cut Druaga1

[@NepgearGM6.1]

bobmanuk yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

[@ScottBeebiWan]

Please don't give up on the PowerBooks.

[@kylehues8465]

It hurts me to watch you do this. More! I NEED MORE!

[@MasticinaAkicta]

Sometimes old stuff just doesn't wants to work. Of course sometimes NEW stuff doesn't wants to work either.

[@ItsPyrus]

I love how you do all this computer stuff on the shaggiest carpet known to man. Ballsy stuff.

[@5speedfatty]

im sitting here stoned watching you take apart this 170 and it hits me, LOL i have the exact same screwdriver set from ebay! thumbs up for that homie

[@ducttapeanddreams]

Powerbooks are IDE, you can try putting CF cards in them with an adapter. There are some steps involved, but it's not impossible. I have a couple CF cards spare so I can do it if I need.

[@ELECTROHAXZ]

Thats why I wear rubber gloves when I repair computers, I would have destroyed the glove, not my finger.

[@AniketKumar-ye9hh]

druaga1 video= leave studying, time to watch

[@BladeMaverick]

Get an Android device, root it, and get DriveDroid. Load your android with ISOs and use that instead of burning CDs. Your computer thinks your phone is a CD drive with the ISO and loads even off OS.

[@SenkJu]

BladeMaverick lol thats cool. never heard of that

[@NAKGRR]

It was the first powerbook that was ever smoked!

[@thekidd7860]

When Druaga has a rage moment and throws flame at his only life style of collecting spare disks xD.

[@yjk_music]

I heard that someone tries to boot off USB using OpenFirmware command prompt.. But that's just what I know. So... It looks like you cannot directly boot using that menu.

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

dat power brick. hate them it takes up two slots for no reason

[@lpphoenix131]

Released on my birthday! Yay!

[@SenkJu]

lpphoenix131 do you want me to wish you a happy birthday?

[@jacoboblandonpineda]

Senk Ju Let's do it together. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Ipphoenix131! Hope you have/had a nice day.

[@mg86_]

happy birthday

[@sparticus214]

You know it's obsolete when a MAC is used for comparison.

[@thevividyoshi]

By the by, I recently picked up a PowerBook 140 that... didn't work. Or so I thought, until I grabbed a multimeter and realized that the power brick is dead. From what I've read, these power bricks are fairly fragile and die if you blow on them too hard, so you might want to try getting another 7.5v power supply, and splice the cable across, or just buy an aftermarket supply

[@darkwatersband]

i have a powerbook 170 and when it does that with the hard drive it means its broken and should be removed asap

[@6Diego1Diego9]

what happen to the new content

[@IchiarFiul]

Best Wishes man, hope life gets better

[@meowcat2854]

I am not done with the vid yet but at one point when the PowerBook 170 wont boot is becuse the rom is stored on the Hard Drive.

[@pizzaboxer]

Exactly, when I saw that the hard disk had an EPROM label on it, I knew why it wasn't booting up.

[@CattoRayTube]

RIP in peace Druaga1, 19xx - 2017.

[@SuperMario1005]

I have at least a hundred of both DVDs and CDs, you can find them literally everywhere.

[@chrismax99Gaming]

You should check if you got the extended warranty and contact Apple support.

[@cb1671]

I have a PowerBook 100 just like that in my basement. Unfortunately the Hard Drive is long dead, and the only replacement is either another ancient hard drive or a CF adapter that costs like $115.

[@cyber_pirate]

It sounds like you have the same luck with installing things as I do It never goes your way

[@trent245]

Damn if that powerbook 100 was on criminal minds or something they’d never get a confession outta him

[@Fretslapper97]

Ive got like at least 5 of those in my workshop that may or may not work. Id test and fix em but i dont have power supplies for them

[@ahmadaamer6]

If you completely kill a led acid battery, it is completely dead and will never work no matter how much you charge it.

[@mousegeek]

Gotta sue Apple for that cut!

[@IBEGDL]

you can save the powe mac that not turn on maybe is the power button. you need to brigde just a little where the power buttonn is just the point where is solder the button

[@vkoskiv]

Those were actually released at the same time. The 100 is just the slim, light model.

[@AiOinc1]

the year of compute time on the Powerbook 170 would have been spent doing useful work vs the 5 seconds of browsing tumblr at starbucks on the new Macbook

[@BigBangClips]

Some Bios, expecely old ones, don't support USB boot, you can use PloP from any Hirens CD that you have, then you can boot from USB on an unsupported Bios

[@nilswegner2881]

BigBangClips but that only works on x86 and not on older apple ppc macs

[@HSmasteryoda]

To boot usb from powerbook g4's hold down option, cmd O F, type in boot usb1/disk@1:,\\yaboot. and hit enter.

[@brentdamage1520]

This is what it was like with my Macintosh SE EVERY... DAY.

[@rewbycraft]

Hey druaga, linux person here to put a few notes down about RUFUS and bootable ISOs on USBs. You may find it useful if you ever need to make bootable USBs in the future. When RUFUS says DD-image it's referring to the program dd. All it's really doing is taking the iso image and copying it byte for byte to the USB. For a majority of linux and BSD isos (as well as many other bootable isos), this will result in a bootable drive. (Assuming that the BIOS of the target machine, unlike the powerbook's, *can* boot from USB) A thing to keep in mind is that after using DD-mode that you can't always reformat that USB properly, your OS and partitioning software may not detect it properly anymore. HOWEVER, there is a way to undo this. (the internet seems very convinced that DD-image is permanent, it is not) You do, however, need a linux install to do this. (might be doable under windows or mac, but I don't know how to do it under those OSes) The basic idea is to zero the first few MB or so of the drive, which removes the ISO signature that fucks up detection by partitioning software. I tend to do it with the command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ bs=512K count=1 (that is zero, not null. Important difference.) If that doesn't work, try running it without the bs= and count= arguments to just zero the whole drive (I've found this needed in a few rare cases, but it's very slow and zeroing the first 0.5MB tends to work fine in 95% of the ISOs I've tried). As to what the ISO mode of rufus does, it finagles around with filesystems and messes with the ISO to make certain types of ISOs work without needing aformentioned trick to make the drive usable again afterwards. I know you probably won't see or read this, but I figure I might as well put it out there in case someone finds it useful. I want to note that I always enjoy watching you screw around with (older) hardware, even if things don't always work out properly.

[@ab.3800]

on screws like that 6:53 u pry in between the case to put tension on it then they usually come out btw

[@danielfouke1823]

if that is the worst thing that happened today your day was pretty good

[@sugna82plays61]

Is it just me or did The PowerBooks look like giant nes game cartridges. I might just be having nostalgic flashbacks.

[@hakim567]

Love watching 40 minutes of something.

[@ansonx10]

I had to use "open firmware" mode (command-option-o-f on boot, I think) and some commands from the Ubuntu site (I think) to make an old TiBook boot from a USB because the disc drive is broken. I'm sure the same would work on this. I had those commands memorized for a while, because of all the reinstalls I did.

[@Blackandfan]

rest in pease druaga1

[@NepgearGM6.1]

Blackandfan he didn’t died

[@ZoopZoop]

I think he genuinely nearly died at the end there

[@kris5451]

Someone buy him a few iFixit plastic opening tools/spudgers so he can open things without breaking them

[@joeconti2396]

Fairly sure you can only boot Firewire drives off those old G4 Powerbooks. I could be wrong. May be thinking of Target Mode.

[@drgusman]

Druaga posted new video? Time to stop working!

[@dylc413]

is it just me or did anyone else notice the screen on the more modern powerbook was off center to the rest of the computer when he opened it?

[@DearHalo_lover]

Did you know rufus has a small timer in the lower right hand corner?

[@DiamondProAlpine]

yes Druaga that does mean the PlayStation 3 as it has an install other os button thats been removed from the PlayStation 3 os

[@cynic5581]

Hey Druaga, great video as usual. Hope your wound doesn't leave you terribly disfigured. About those old Apple laptops. Could the cord (and/or power brick) you were plugging into them have failed toward the end? Seems like you went from getting something going on to absolutely nothing. Thanks for the vid!

[@weelebaseknowles4410]

Man where has he gone?

[@TobyCowles]

Just so you know you can reuse DVD-RW disks as many times as you want, so after you write to it once you can write to it again and again so you don't waste it
