> Cylindrical "Trash Can" Mac Pro

My favorite Mac, by far. I upgraded the RAM in it. Can you even imagine a Mac that has upgradeable RAM? Pearl clutching. I also tried plugging 4 different 4K monitors into it just for the novelty. I miss my trashcan

Also, if you were to serve your get.sh (et al) as text/plain it would enable browing them versus them downloading and having to open it locally. Or, as your footer implied, linking to GitHub would also be super handy

Well now I feel old. Not only can I imagine it, I used to routinely buy RAM upgrades for my Macs because it was more affordable than getting a Mac with more RAM in the first place. As I recall one of the early aluminum PowerBooks even had a really thoughtful design that made it easy to access and replace the RAM, battery, and hard drive.

Yeah, back in the day they used actual Philips head screws, I presume for that purpose. The user hostility is just outrageous, IMHO

I've been thinking harder and harder about https://getupgraded.com/macbook/ to really get it in my mind that I don't own any Apple product, I just lease it from them for a while

		They also used Torx screws for a long time. Honestly the process for upgrading RAM was always variable. Power Macs had a door with a hinge, but the original iMac needed a lot of disassembly to get to the RAM slots.

Thanks, I'll look into this! I'm not immediately sure how to do it. The site is hosted via a very minimal Cloudflare worker, because it's free for static assets but unlike e.g. Github pages supports unencrypted http (which is useful when bootstrapping a new Mavericks system). I haven't changed the content type of anything.

My Github is https://github.com/wowfunhappy but you actually won't find either script there, the website is the canonical version! This type of thing is why my github isn't linked!

https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/static-assets/head... alleges it honors the c-type of the asset when it was uploaded, just like S3

		Thanks--I think I fixed it!
