Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Don't count Intel releasing 64 bit chips. Apple went 1 step backwards when switching to Intel and this could hurt them further. Heck Intel's Mac processors are not supporting 64 bit while their desktops are, which is quite strange and Intel dual cores are not that great of an offering.

The Intel iMacs are stuck at 4GB of RAM while the G5s could use more than 4GB. Too bad Apple didn't go green with AMD.

EM64T, Intel's solution to the 64-bit IA-32 extension (which is all AMD64 is), also addresses more than 4GB of RAM. As well, most Intel chipsets support faster RAM (DDR2 667MHz) than AMD-supporting chipsets.

Merom is out iirc 2H of 2006, so we may see 64bit macs on the horizon.

Perhaps, the Yonah chips are an interim before the 64bit chips as the Napa platform is interchangable with Yonah and Merom afaik. The Napa platform is used right?

This way, not much reengineering has to be done ALSO Apple gets the boost of power and profit for another 6 months to a year while Intel sort out their chips.

Good work imo, may as well get the codebase to x86 earlier than later.

OR...

They have Intel some how disable the 64bit extension. ;)

All I have to say really, I'm waiting on 64bit a MacBook (or pro) or at least the next revision and a more mature Windows installation package ( I need/want Vista, but can settle for XP. I work with Visual Studio 2005 ).

I posted this on Workstation thread but forgot to post it here. >_< Anyway, it's a very typical PowerBook + iCurve desktop. :laugh: That black laptop on the right is a Thinkpad.

I will post pictures with better light conditions when I have time. I took those pictures at 1:00 AM because I was too bored. T_T

:D Hey ZZOOzzoo! looks great man, nice and clean....my desk has so much stuff on it you can't see the desk :pinch:

Hey Toastyone! >_< Thank you. I just saw pics of your awesome workstation too. (Y) Yours might be a bit messy :p , but it's your 1337 Dell monitor, PowerMac and awesome DVD collection that really count. T_T

That is super hot. If I wasn't ass broke because of university right now, my next toy would be a Macbook Pro :). What's the dealie with the "week 12" thing? After it was released for 12 weeks it had a revision already??

Apparently, they did a quiet revision that fixed the processor whine and the unbearable heat some people were experiencing

Also in picture: Windows XP Box (Packard Bell Machine) and Ubuntu Box (Dell PowerEdge).

OS X, Windows and Ubuntu all run through two KVM's - so I can have a combination of any OS on the screens.

And yes... that is Front Row on the PB, controlled by the white mobile (SE T630) via bluetooth. Run's fine through the TFT in closed-lid mode too :D:D

My Dorm room.. Simple really. The PC is connected to the Powerbook via Synergy, I'm going to bring my LCD and just have that rather then the entire laptop there. External drive, only 120GB atm (connected via Firewire 800.. so nice)

oh, and last revision G4 Powerbook, 80GB HDD, 1.5GB Ram and whatever else.

Cheers,

    • Zen Browser 1.21b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.4 Added 'Space Routing', a new feature that allows you to route links to a specific Space. To get started, click on the three dots in your Space name and click on 'Space Routing Settings'.

    • I am currently using a 4tb stick in combination with a 4tb 9100 Pro. It's only been six months since I bought them but the 990 has already dropped 1% health. Fingers crossed it doesn't go any lower.
    • But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)
    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
