April 28th, 2025 I finally gave in to my long coveting of the cylindrical Mac Pro. I bought one on eBay for $69, upgraded it to 12 cores and 128gb of ram and spun up a home AI server. I named it Jai. You can interact with him just like ChatGPT or Claude or whatever via a chat interface.

We just put up a page that lists the items the Old North End Repair Cafe is looking for. If you have any items on the list you’d like to donate please bring them by! Thanks!

List of things the lab is looking for

We realized we hadn’t updated the site to note that open hours have resumed!  Come hang out with us every Thursday from 7pm-9pm (and probably later) at our space at 12 North st. (up the stairs at the side of the building.

Folks will be there working on personal projects, fixing things, chatting, eating, playing games and just hanging out. Come through!!

The post Weekly Public Hours Every Thursday Evening! appeared first on Laboratory B.

Join Lab B every Thursday night at 7pm for FOSS (free + open source software) (or sometimes closed source but free) game nights. Meet up on our discord and we’ll go from there. If we’re planning on a specific game it will be listed on our events page

EDIT: regular (weekly, unstructured, in-person) open hours have resumed!

Next Old North End Repair Cafe is Saturday September 19th from 11am till 3pm! Come by with your stuff and we’ll see if we can get it fixed! If you’re interested in volunteering (or just being alerted when these are happening) please fill out our volunteer interest form.

See ya there!
