New Mac user here. I've been on Windows comps since Windows 3.0. Used Linux Red Hat and Mandrake for a year, but didn't have enough usablity for what I wanted at that time, so went back to Win2000 (yes it was a while ago). Been using XP since it came out, and don't plan to downgrade to Vista. Not worth it, as XP works just fine.

Bought me the following for my own music recording, and I needed a laptop:

Macbook 2.0GHz Duo Core 2 White

1GB Ram (soon to be upgraded to 2GB)

80GB hard drive

13" screen

I basically got the basics that you can get. At the moment, I don't need any bigger hard drive, and once I get my Mac Tower, thats where the majority of the music I'll be recording will be stored, not on the Macbook. And if the harddrive starts getting full, I've still got a 200GB harddrive in my XP machine that I can just drag things over, via my network.

I am so far very happy with my purchase, and just bought a book to learn the complete ins and outs. I think I will fully convert once I buy the tower in a year or so. My XP machine will probably be kept for my wife. Though she likes Mac's, she admits she can use the XP easier.

Started off with;

iBook G4 12-inch

PowerPC 800MHz

30GB Hard drive

640MB of Ram

CD-RW

OS-X Panther

This was used for about a year, I customised it and filled the 30Gb with Mac Zeolot documents, e-books and styles. This was then passed onto my father as his first Mac, while I upgraded to;

iBook 12-inch

PowerPC 1.2GHz

40Gb Hard drive

1Gb or Ram

CD-RW

OS-X Panther

I used this laptop to develop my Macintosh skills, this was the first Mac that I actually bought 3rd party apps for. Shapeshifter and Candybar helped with the customisation. I researched the power of Macs by downloading hundreds of unix and Mac e-books. I then updated Panther to Tiger. Again this laptop was passed to my father, he returned my 800MHz iBook which was sold on eBay for ?350. I then instantly upgraded to;

1.83GHz Intel Core Duo

1Gb Ram

60Gb Hard drive

CD-RW

OS-X Tiger

My plans are to keep this book for a while longer, upgrade it to Tiger in October and continue to use it as my main notebook. When I feel like I require an upgrade this again will be passed onto my father and I will look to Apple.com to find out what options are available to me. This upgrade is scheduled to happen within the next 3-4yrs, so plenty of time for Apple to astound me.

    • 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'. Fixes Fixed extension-opened tabs not being created with the correct container (#14100) Fixed a bug with the Boosts editor having the wrong theme colors (#14099) Improved overflowing space icons being inaccessible and improved the feeling when hovering over them (#13747) Other minor bug fixes and improvements Download: Zen Browser | 89.8 MB (Open Source) Download: Zen Browser ARM64 | Other Operating Systems View: Zen Browser Home Page | Screenshots 1 | 2 | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • 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.
