Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Im tempted to get the JBL's, are they that good? I want something which has a bit of bass to it, since the iMac speakers are pathetic for what i want

Yeah I these speakers are quality, they look like they are just your standard speakers but they really do kick some ass.

I'm listening to my brand new Creature II's and I have to say, they were worth every single cent I spent on them. They look amazing with my PowerBook and they sound insanely great. Crystal clear sound, powerful bass, a punchy mid, and all for 100 dollars US (I believe Amazon still has them for 60 or 70 though). Ill post some pictures soon :D

My new setup :)

No macs in this pic but there is my iBook hiding in da background :p

I know , it is missing wall art! New lamp and desk from Ikea from yesternight :)

Uuggghh, makes me remember how much I love the old iMac G4's, my favorite out of all the line, lol. What did you do with it?

ATM my brother is using it because his windows laptop hard drive died, when hes got that fixed I'm having it back in my bedroom as a really expensive ornament :laugh: cant really bring myself to sell my first mac especially one as nice as the iMac G4 :)

is that an ipod nano dock or a universal dock?

It's a nano dock, would of got the universal dock if it was out when I ordered all my nano stuff :cry:

I think the nano dock looks a lot better since it's smaller. I'll probably get one with my nano. :)

Ahh gotcha, I would use it, have it up and running and maybe use it as a media device, you know have movies on it for viewing while you do other stuff or even a sort of media server if it has built in airport (can't remember if those came with it standard) I have my old iMac G3 still up and running, thats right, the original little 233 mhz Bondi Blue, lol

    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
