Had my first Mac since late July:

Macbook Pro (15.4 in)

Intel Core Duo - 2 GHz

1.5 GB RAM

ATI x1600

Ubuntu Edgy Eft (with XGL, all other features working dandy)

I want to purchase an external hard drive. The standard space is just not enough, I don't think. Anybody have any good suggestions of a not very expensive, 160 GB, Firewire standard, reliable external hard drive? (PM me please :D) Thanks.

I've had an iBook since October 2005:

iBook 12"

PPC 1.33Ghz

512MB RAM

40GB HDD

ATI graphics

OSX 10.4

Ubuntu 6.06

Currently broken thanks to the usual iBook logicboard problems that seem to plague the whole product line, so I'm considering getting a MacBook once it's back from repair.

Here: iMac since November 1st, 2006 (shipped exactly on 11/1/2006 :D :p)

iMac 20"

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz

1Gigabyte RAM

250GB HDD

ATI Radeon x1600 128MB

Superdrive

OS X 10.4 Tiger

Windows XP SP2 (XP MCE soon, then Vista Home Premium and XP SP2 (if possible to have 2 OSs with Bootcamp either by default or by hacking around), final stage Vista Home Premium (ideally 64bit, when all the software I use and games run on 64 then, but even appart from that I hope MS finally fixes the 32bit-app issues with Windows 64bit, I mean, C'MON!))

Soon: DamnSmallLinux in Parallels and maybe SUSE either one day I got rid of all that data on my HDD (4GB free on my OS X partiton -> Downloaded a LOT in one month ^^)

25 DVD-Rs ready to be filled :D (I'll need more and more by time :D) -> CD/DVD archive case for up to 80 discs :)

Will buy a projector thats HD ready and

a Dolby Surround (Hopefully ProLogic or ProLogic II) system

I'll also add an iPod to my system one happy day I have enough money lol (around my 80th birthday LOL)

and maybe an external HDD one day (gotta be like 2x 500GB or 1TB, they'll be cheap one day ;) )

I absolutely don't regret buying this thing, as since it runs like a charm and works 100% perfectly with XP and games are a plain beauty

still have my old PC either, just for having a 32bit system in worst compatibility case and stuff like that or for doing stuff parallely or when a friend's over at my house and we wanna play something, or for him just having an own Internet and Gaming access when he's waiting for me to come back from a meeting. stuff like that.

OR for my girlfriend who I'm still working to get to have an account for when she's here.

100000 possibilities.

I can tell you guys: having two systems is a dream sometimes, and when one system doesn't run your not totally f**ed up ;)

ENOUGH FOR NOW :D

read on!

I'm the proud owner of a 15" Mac Book Pro (Intel) since December. I still use windows for my home desktop and at on my office desktop, so Boot Camp was a real selling point. There are pros and cons to both o.s.'s, but having both on one machine is truly awesome.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By duhk · Posted

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
