Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Here's my iMac:

im000108621.jpg.xs.jpg

Loving every minute of it.

what size? and wouldn't it be more comfortable if you took out the stand (looks a bit high)?

i already posted that answer (its in the mac hardware show your desktop), but no...i didn't. i always go through memoryamerica for my ram because they are the lowest price and with my company i run i get an even better deal. they retail their 800mhz ecc-fb ram @ ABOUT $60 a gig. macsales.com isn't bad at about $65 a gig.

i didn't even notice the sig was that big i've seen people with pictures and letters that were as big or bigger.

the new sig looks better anyway

OOOO lovely :D specs ? :D

Sure is!

Its the high end 20" of the older iMac range, with an extra 2GB stick of Ram totaling to 3GB.

They were clearing out the old models for real cheap at my work, and thought it would be better value getting the old high end model over the new low end model.

Already whored mine out in the general hardware thread but might as well do it in here too. Really happy with it so far :)

Specs as per my signature :) On the desk is also my Sennheiser wireless phones, a set of better quality BeyerDynamic wired headphones for when i'm at my desk and my Seagate Freeagent 320GB drive which I use for Time Machine.

Holy crap

What exactly will you be working on with that beast?

I needed a total of three. One on each side (1 & 2), plus an extra one to support the curve (3).

I love that black mat you have at the round of your desk.

Is there one for a straight edge desk? I really like it and im trying to find one but I can't seem to find it.

    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
