May I suggest buying an entry level Mac mini? is what I did and while yeah it's not a blazing computer, but for coding and messing around with it's perfect and will be a hell of alot better then an iMac G4 (going by what everyone else is saying). As for getting into the guts of it, well you can't really tinker with a Mac anyway and unless you get your hands on a Mac Pro not much you can upgrade either. Mac mini is your best bet I think, I love my little late '09 Mac mini and don't regret buying it at all. Worth every cent and is a great way to expose yourself to OSX and Macs in general in my humble opinion.

EDIT: I see you already got the G4 :p oh well, guess I'm a little late to the party :laugh: enjoy your new Mac!

Ebay right? My guess, they calculated the postage wrong, got to the shippers and then decided to send it the slowest way possible to not lose money. It happens, some times. I just bite the bullet and pay up if something heavy or oddly shaped ends up costing more to ship than I planned on, but I've definitely gotten things that were listed as going "First Class" shipped cheapest-option ground.

Granted, they should still have a tracking number, or at least write back.

This.

If I make a mistake, client comes first and I bite the bullet.

Not everyone acts like that, which is sad, but it's bearable if you're not choleric haha :laugh:

I finally got a reply. They said that there tracking manager was on vacation. They also said if I don't get it in the next few days to email them again and they will figure it out!

Dude, they reply and still don't give you the flipping tracking number?

Prepare to contact Buyer Protection... (well, but here's hoping that everything turns out good! Maybe they just forgot to add it to their email or something :p)

I think i will give them the beifit of the dout but i am ready to contact buyer protection just in case. :shifty:

That's what I would do, too.

Note: BP doesn't have to be started when you gave up on the seller. :)

Can do it before.

Date of claim is important.

In Germany at least it's at least a month or so...

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
