This guy must be trying to earn major brownie points here.

It don't know if anyone here knows this, but bit torrent can be used for other things than pirating :-P

Also, find me a torrent site with more than 10 mac torrents :-P

I like using headphones over speakers. I have a printer and scanner but connected to another computer.

As for other people you could check out the spymac gallery? All these setups show speakers and other stuff like printers etc...

damn, y are so many people buying powerbooks now, i thought everyone was like "wait for the g5"

i know it's got the new touch pad and better design but i thought everyone was going to wait for tiger

Everyone is realizing that it'll take Apple two tries to get the PowerBook G5 just right, and that'll be a while. The first revision will probably have horrible heat problems, that they'll probably fix in the second revision.

i disagree. it seems they have the powerbook perfected. if they can just put a g5 proc in there, without my lap getting burned to **** and change nothing else about it i would most deffinatly get one.

Some of us are happy to have them stick with a G4. I don't think heat is the only reason they've not got G5s in them.

The 1.5GHz G4 in that Powerbook is pretty much neck-and-neck with the 1.8GHz iMac G5, but remember the newer Powerbooks are ~12% faster.

Of course the G4 isn't faster in all tasks, but when you take the extra 12% into account, they're usually about the same if they're not faster. I've definitely noticed a slight speed increase over my iMac G5 in Photoshop. (which is the main app I use on my Mac)

A G5 Powerbook isn't for the speed. I am sure many of us are dying to see a major form factor change for the Powerbook, not just a 'faster' processor. Apple said themselves a G5 runs better with 2 processors.

Okay, Heres my iMac. I am selling this baby off. If you are in Australia, and want an iMac or know someone who does, PM me ;) Its a 15" model.

      I gave up on browser ad-blocking extensions a few years ago, replaced them with Adguard. Not perfect but overhaul is a nice app that does the job on both Windows and Android with the respective versions.

      "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.

      Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
