Just brought a Mac from a friend last night (to see what all the fuss has been about!)

1st gen Intel mac mini

Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz (T7200)

1GB DDR2 667 RAM (soon to be upped to 2GB)

Airport N card

60GB hard drive (soon to be upped to 500GB)

Combo drive (soon to be upgraded to a superdrive)

10.6.4

The first thing I did when I recieved it was to rip it open and change the core solo chip and the old airport G card. I cannot believe they squeezed everything into that little box.

So far I'm liking it :cool:

    • Universal USB Installer 2.0.3.7 by Razvan Serea The Universal USB Installer (UUI) is a powerful bootable USB software tool for creating USB boot drives from ISO files, perfect for installing Linux or Windows, running live systems, or building diagnostic toolkits. This versatile ISO-to-USB software makes it easy to boot from USB and create Live USBs for Linux distributions, Windows setup installers, antivirus tools, and system diagnostic utilities. Whether you need a multisystem Windows Media Creation Tool, a Live USB Linux installer, or an all-in-one PC diagnostic toolkit, UUI offers a reliable and flexible Linux and Windows bootable USB creator. Effortlessly carry your favorite portable operating systems and essential troubleshooting and diagnostic tools on a single flash drive or USB boot stick. Take your preferred Live Linux distributions, Windows installers, recovery software, backup utilities, and diagnostic tools with you, all bootable from a single USB drive. No more juggling multiple USB sticks or complicated bootloaders, UUI consolidates everything into one flexible, multiboot solution. Using this open source USB boot maker software is easy as 123. To create a Linux or Windows bootable USB drive, you simply select your target flash drive, choose your distribution from the list, browse to the ISO file (or choose to download the ISO), and then click Create. Once finished, you should have a ready to run Live USB containing the Live operating system, Windows installation media, or system diagnostics utility, or advanced system cleaner tool you previously selected. Universal USB Installer 2.0.3.7 changelog: Expanded the distro and tool catalog with additional popular Linux ISO entries. Updated: several distro homepage and download links, including Ubuntu Unity, Garuda Linux, Arch Linux, Fedora, Manjaro, and SystemRescue. Fixed: ISOs added via drag and drop (or manually copied to the drive) are now listed in the removal dropdown alongside normally installed distros.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
