Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Finally became a Mac user... :laugh:

My PowerBook is 15" one with SuperDrive, with iPod 3G that almost died... :cry: (thinking of getting an iPod photo soon... unless there are any other mac-compatible good music player)

The mouse is Logitech V500, and I love it, that "touch scroll" thing is really convinient.

The speaker + CD player is Bose Wave CD+Radio.

Here are some more pictures of my desk.

I love PowerBook's glowing keyboard feature, although my other laptop (IBM Thinkpad T42) has a similar function.

iPod and PowerBook glowing together:

This is my Logitech V500, a wireless mouse designed for laptop, and it has some nifty features.

I love how you can store USB dongle inside the mouse and close the mouse so that it becomes very thin.

There I finally have my setup. Yes I know about the wires in the corner and they are as clean as it can be. Its quite hard trying to have it look clean when the hubwith 5 network cables, multiple power cables, speakers and etc.... i wish invisible wires existed (other then wireless!!)

Got the desk last week so there is still a drawer to the right I need to sort and put in the filing cabinet.

Yup this thread gave me the idea on that desk and it was just meant to be after they had one in stock at my local staples for $69.99 (instead of $79.99). Picked it up the day my mac arrived.

    • Just for anyone reading, AdGuard (the free, standalone MV3 extension) is quite good now, a direct competitor to uBlock Origin Lite and much more built-out than it.

    • Yeah, when I saw that, I wanted to find the nearest nose. You can't find a good nose these days when you need one.
    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.
