Swapped out the Core Solo for a T7200 (2.0GHz) and gave it 2GB RAM, replacing 512MB.

Currently still going strong, has Leopard on it running fine. Talks to my Windows network fine, plays all my media fine - best HTPC you can get!

Well I just got my first Mac. I've always been a PC user but with the recent advances in battery life plus the price reduction on their 13 Inch models got me switching over to MAC OS X.

I purchased the 13 inch MacBook Pro, 2.26 GHz; 4 GB Ram; 250 GB HD

So far, after playing with it for two days I can say that I am absolutely satisfied.

Yesterday I was measuring battery life, I had NeoOffice open, FireFox with 8 tabs, and running three ssh terminal sessions to some of the servers at work.

I tried to simulate a regular working condition and instead of working on my two desktops at work I did most of the work on my new MacBook. I got amazing 6:23 out of the battery :)

Since I tend to travel a lot Mobility and an extended battery life are a great plus for me.

Also I have to give Apple credit for the great case design. Is light and sturdy, and it looks great.

I also installed VirtualBox with Windows Vista Business 32bit, and it works great.

I needed the Windows Vista just in case I needed some of my work applications.

I was thinking of partitioning the drive and installing a separate partition of Vista, using boot camp, but I dont think I'll be using Vista that much and is just more convenient launching Vista out of my desktop without rebooting the system, just to access and app or two.

Cheers

    • 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.
