A wip. I am waiting for my dad to run power to it, hence the reason why the bottom part hasn't been plastered and I havent painted yet(Well, i havent chosen a colour either..). I am also going to move the monitor up a tiny bit, and the speakers over a bit. I love DIY, even though im rubbish at it :D

Surprised to see the ageold laser printer Cara ;)

Would have at least expected an glossy black Canon or Samsung

HP LaserJet 5. Pagecount is over 200k and it is still stronger than the brand new HP a friend of mine got the other day. 10k pages in and the fuser is already acting up.

Need any more laptops? :laugh: And I like the new sig you have (Y)

I don't even have my WhiteBook or MacBook Air up there, let alone the Dell D600 or XT1 or 630 I have...or the Lenovo T61 or ... Oh, and thanks!

No way. Those HP's are built like tanks. They'll outlast any of the 'pretty' ones out now.

Amen to that!

I had Macs on glass too. Don't the masses of cables ruin the "Mac" aesthetic?

They so do, and the white power adapters for all...blah! Need Black for Black and Silver for Pros.

*peachey steals some of cara's many laptops >.>

why do you even have so many?

*peachey steals some of cara's many laptops >.>

why do you even have so many?

I get one of each model the day of release incase I ever need it during the course of my day. Of course, as we all know the same things designed on a MacBook Pro will work the same way on a MacBook or Air because of the Unified OS and not having to worry about odd drivers like on Wintel so they just tend to end up in use randomly throughout the house. : winks :

Cara have Laptop fetish :s

Why not, I have enough other fetishes...

Main workstation (red one), and secondary server machine for folding@home, in fact it's currently running Neowin's Folding@home. Also, check out my super expensive mousepad, it's 1337! ;p

Also, sorry about the mess, for me it's functionality>aesthetics. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I think the Trinitron monitor is an antique. :p

Is that a 226BW on your wall because mine and as far as I know everyone else's 226BWs have terrible viewing angles especially from the bottom - isn't that a problem for you since you got it wall mounted pretty high and say you're going to move it up even more?

Yeah I know the HP's are beasts .. I have 2 lasers downstairs and also a good ol' Laser2100 .. still phurs like a kitten after 10 years ... also exhauts mass amounts ozon just for fun...

I never thought I'd see the day MacFans prefer the function over beauty ;) j/k

Hey...for those of you have the (glossy) iMacs, do you have any screen issues? Mainly, I am speaking about the reflection of them. I am deciding to buy the older white iMac or just go with the newer ones.

Thanks for any replies! :)

Sadly reflections is the largest down fall of the current generation iMac, many people (myself included) prefer the Matte screen style which is no longer provided as a product option on the iMac.

That being said, the technical advances of the current generation iMac over the old White models makes it hard to say you should consider the WhiMac versus the AlumiMac.

ps .. Cara.. it that the Logitech Revolution mouse? What's your take on the mighty mouse?

Perhaps throw that pos back in the reality distortion field back at work on monday?

Sure is a MX Revolution. :) I love my MX. ;)

The Mighty Mouse is a wonderful product, for an absolute base in product. That being said, Apple truly needs to adopt a little more Function into the form and get rid of the Whipple and go for a wheel, it was a cute concept but it doesn't work.

Great minds think alike ;)

I think the mighty mouse wouldn't be that bad it had a wheel, 2 buttons were activated by default, has a seperation between the button making it clear it has 2 buttons, had a better ergonomic shape...

oh woops .. i just described about every other mouse out there ;) haha

Too bad Apple won't dump the mighty due to it's "being differentness" and it's one 1 click (altough it sucks). I wonder .. is Jobsy really actually using it or just a Logitech like everyone else.

(Gotta give Microsoft OEM Hardware credit tough .. all their keyboards and mice rock .. except for the tobos with the seperated layout for ergonomic reasons which is just weird .. maybe better but weird...)

My Home Office.

Delish..... I love to see pure Mac homes :)

I am flirting with the idea of dropping a bit of coin on a new Mac Pro with dual 30's. It is one of those things that I have wanted ever since the PowerMac G5 came out years ago. Bump it up to 4GB of RAM (enough to run a couple of VMs) and I would have no excuses to ditch the last of my Windows PCs.

Currently running a standard 15" MBP that I bumped to 2GB. I just picked up an 802.11n Airport and daisy-chained my 4 500 GB drives off it. Yummo, 2TB of storage and no computer required :)

Oh, you just gave me really bad ideas with that setup...my husband is going to kill me. I need to get a set of those shelves for my office to clean up the 'graveyard' corner in my office. :p

    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything? 
    • Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Playground Games gave fantasy RPG fans a new look at its Fable reboot last Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase. While that was a short cinematic trailer revealing the main villain of the storyline, played by Hayley Atwell, today, the development team released an entire gameplay demo to show off the game in action. There is some combat and action near the end of it, but most of the demo is focused on the game's NPC simulation, relationships, choices players can make, and the complex reputation system. The studio is touting over 1,000 hand-crafted NPCs who have jobs, homes, routines they follow in their villages and outskirts, and a memory of what is going on in the world and what actions the player has done. All of these are voiced by real people too. The demo begins with a short interaction with a butcher who wants to kill a talking pig named Colin. The protagonist chooses to save Colin by paying the butcher a bunch of gold for his troubles, giving the hero a rise in reputation for being shrewd, merciful, and virtuous. There were also options to simply let Colin get killed or even fight the butcher for the pig instead of paying him. How NPCs judge the player depends on how they interact with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV0yq4kAP0 Later, the demo shows off how purchasing and managing businesses work, where players can hire employees, change their wages, tweak the price of the shop items, and reap profits if they do well. Different NPCs react differently to each type of reputation the player is touting. One shop owner jacks up prices by 80% just because the player is rich and owns businesses. The demo even shows the player deciding to attack random villagers and causing a ruckus in the streets, turning the hero into a criminal. This is where the magic combat systems are shown off, where the player can teleport, turn enemies into chickens, sword-fight, and more. "This is how you’ll build an extraordinary life in Fable. It’s all about shades of grey – it’s not us or the game telling you what is good and what is bad," says Dan Greer, Lead Game Designer. "With the Living Population, it’s the NPCs themselves judging your actions." Fable is releasing across PC and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2027. Premium Edition owners will be able to play starting on February 18 instead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to jump in at launch for no extra cost.
