Your Mac Hardware Setup

It's a full size keyboard  :huh:

Its full size in that it has all the buttons that other laptops have but its small in the sense the buttons on it are quite tiny (See the Enter button the arrow keys are half there normal size) this is because apple use that same keyboard on the 12inch and 15inch Powerbooks. the iBooks also have the same keyboard (just its plastic/white).

@andrewfee: I had the same problem but I know what caused it. When you install OSX and iLife '05 is in the options, you have to tick iPhoto and iMovie HD together, but it also installs (I think) 78MB or so for iDVD. If you untick iDVD completely (this isn't the gigabyte install), you'll end up with that question-mark problem.

You think you're installing iMovie, but you're really not? Just make sure iPhoto is ticked, and then check the box for iMovie HD, and LET it half-check the box for iDVD (you'll know you're not installing iDVD when the size is fairly small... not the 1.2GB or so that it normally takes up). Hope that does the trick, because it did for me. Installing it after getting OSX off the ground works too, but I just do it in one go and that was something that happened to me too. :)

where did you get that desk?!

From IKEA Amsterdam, it's called GALANT Desk and ships for ?225,-. I got it for the discount price of ?99,-, two weeks later the prices went back up to ?225,-.

Thanks for the tip, but I chose to install all of the iLife '05 steuff, lol. I did deselect one and re-select it by mistake though, so maybe that's what caused it.

That is crap to live in bad country :pinch:

no macs, no licensed software, games, ... no new products from a major companys.

:(

In Ukraine there is no iPod Shuffle. I saw it only in Russia for $119 (512 mb model) :ninja:

iMacG5 1.6GHz at US - $1299;

in Russia - $1719 :pinch:

I thought that was GA:DNT. :D

It looks really nice. I'm going to pick up a GALANT combo for my room in a few weeks.

Ikea has something like 200 stores across the world. Including some down here in Australia too! :)

wow, not bad for a Swedish company! :p I just saw they opened a second store in the Amsterdam area. I guess there's no stopping them! :omg:

Yeah, I quite like the company in fact. Furniture that looks great and affordable too. :) Of course you comprise the quality, but they generally are fine for me.

Yeah relativity cheap furniture that doesn't look cheap. ;) Let's just hope they don't become the furniture version of Microsoft :p

@joseph0324

The store located in Amsterdam South-East is also huge, haven't visited the one near Haarlem but I guess it will be somewhat the same size. :)

The guy who owns Ikea is now the richest guy in the world so his already became the new Bill Gates. I think Ikea has become the new Microsoft but in the furniture sense of course.

Yeah I know, I bet he doesn't get his furniture from IKEA anymore :laugh:

Wasn't that for a while only? Bill was still the richest guy last year according to the Guinness Book of Records. Anyway, the way I see Ikea is Apple for home furnishings, except Ikea stuff is extremely affordable.

Let's see... the only reason you would wanna use a Bittorrent is to pirate software, movies or music... why don't you simply quit stealing and go and buy it?  The hardware thread is not really a place to be asking such questions, nor is it a place to be giving responses...

When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.
    • Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by Sayan Sen For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Chromium contributor Andrey Bershanskiy shared details about recent Chromium changes and according to comments from Google engineer Devlin Cronin, Chrome has now started removing the flags that previously controlled MV2 availability. kExtensionManifestV2Disabled, the Chromium feature flag that allowed controlled disabling of MV2 add-ons, is now completely removed, which means you will likely no longer find uBlock Origin in your browser extensions list. He wrote: "The kExtensionManifestV2Disabled feature has been default-enabled for over a year. Remove the feature and the effectively-dead code. ... Any tests that relied on being in the "warning" phase (i.e., with the kExtensionManifestV2Disabled) for their sole behavior testing are removed, since this stage is no longer reachable." Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns. He wrote: "MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in any supported version of Chrome, and we are removing support for them and the associated functionality. We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). Of course, other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire. Unfortunately, we won't be putting code behind a compilation flag ... We won't be removing all the MV2 code wholesale right away, so many of these things will continue working for awhile (but they will go away eventually, and some may go away sooner than others)." What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151. Here is a rundown of the changes coming in the final such releases of Chromium releases: Chromium 150 lost ExtensionManifestV2Disabled option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Availability option Chromium 151 will likely loose AllowLegacyMV2Extensions option Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February, and Opera could also stop the functioning of MV2 add-ons, even though it had committed to support MV2 for longer in October 2024. uBlock Origin developer Raymond Hill (gorhill) apparently stated the following: "For Opera I did submit 1.70.0 rather late, but this was weeks ago. A while ago I received an email from Opera that they plan to abandon MV2-based extension so maybe they are no longer allocating resources for reviewing such extensions." The email which developers like Gorhill mentions was received from Opera last year. Here is what it seemingly said: Hence for now the only Chromium browser that seems to be on-board fully with MV2 support is Brave, and perhaps Vivaldi as well. Meanwhile if you want to ditch Chromium browsers entirely then Mozilla Firefox is an excellent alternative as MV3 and MV2 are both supported. Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version.
