Your Mac Hardware Setup

My first mac :D Little mini connected to a Dell 2405. The PC is under the table ... getting a lot less usage nowadays.

Need to figure out a reliable way to have a wireless keyboard and mouse with a KM switch. Any recommendations?

Nice set up bob. Is that the 2007 or 2407? Any banding issues with Front Row :)

Are you running any keyboard/mouse switch to control the mac and the PC? Which one are you using if you are? Any issues with it? I've been thinking about going wireless with the K/M but heard of some issues using a KM switch with the wireless configurations.

It's a 2007FPW, I had an original Rev A00 and that had banding, but my Rev A02 has none, or at least so minimal that I don't care about it (and less than my last 2 LCDs when I run the same test).

I am actually selling my PC, it is on eBay as we speak. Going to use the proceeds to pay for a new console, not sure which one yet. So I don' tneed the KM switch at this point, and very happy with the BT Apple Keyboard and MM.

Might grab an iSight soon, but I have questions on mounting it and adjustment options that I just can't seem to find answer too.

My latest mac arrived today finally! (dang fedex-- they held it over the weekend and I couldnt even arrange to go to their depot to pick it up on my own =\)

I need to get a new LCD, this 2005FPW is starting to bleed(?), i don't know what the correct term is, but it's slowly dieing.

I can't get used to the Bluetooth Mightly mouse, so i might be in the market for a new laser mouse, my mx1000 doesnt hold a charge like it used to.

I need to sell my Core Solo Mac Mini to help recoup the cost of this thing =) .. Coming to neobay soon!

Not really a 'fun' mac, it's more of a pro machine - who hopefully don't use their time browsing movie trailers =p.

The same logic more or less applies to the MacBook Pro.

I know a fair amount of people that own a PowerMac for doing their "power" processing as well as listing to music, play a movie or showing an slideshow. And, of course, Mac OS X Leopard will ship by default with Front Row.

Oh well, maybe the next gen Cinema Display will feature a build-in infrared receiver. ;)

That is something I have been wondering about. If it comes with Front Row, what are those of us that are still on PPC machines or those with a Mac Pro supposed to do about a remote? I could see them shipping leopard like with a bluetooth remote, but then that would make the IR receiver useless on the new intel macs.

Well I guess they could always sell a remote control and IR dongle type combo with the OS or as a separate buy. Hmmm...

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
