Finding a 27-year-old easter egg in the Power Mac G3 ROM

news.ycombinator.com Doug Brown 2026-03-04 04:06:45

I was recently poking around inside the original Power Macintosh G3’s ROM and accidentally discovered an easter egg that nobody has documented until now. This story starts with me on a lazy Sunday using Hex Fiend in conjunction with Eric Harmon’s Mac ROM template (ROM Fiend) to look through the resources stored in the Power Mac G3’s ROM.

Mosyle announces AccessMule to solve a major blind spot in SMB security

9to5mac.com Bradley C 2026-03-04 10:00:00

One of the most common blind spots in small business security is access management for various company resources. Today’s IT teams are moving fast (and often understaffed), solving customer problems, and juggling shifting responsibilities as the business grows and evolves. Many SMBs also don’t have a dedicated IT team. They might be fixing things by committee or just trusting that vendors have these problems solved. Behind the scenes, there’s usually little visibility into who still has access t

NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System

Apple Research just unearthed a forgotten AI technique and is using it to generate images

But Apple just released two papers that show how there might be room for a third, forgotten technique: Normalizing Flows.
