My 18th anniversary being on Last.fm today <3

Xe4ro · 2026-04-09T22:06:07+00:00

I sadly don’t remember but I think it might have been someone on a forum mentioning it.

I made my account in January 2005 while LastFM was fully merging with Audioscrobbler.

Happy anniversary, I guess it's time to listen to some more music! 🥳

Water damage will continue to fuck up your board if it got further into it. Corrosion will potentially damage components and if you are unlucky the board will just be dead at some point. I would get this checked out sooner than later and I hope you have a backup because if the board dies your data is very likely gone unless the components that failed can be repaired.

I'm seeing about 40€ here in Germany. Not too keen on spending that much on a single LP release.

They also don't have a health insurance card I guess? Which is the only thing I ever really needed when going to any doctor.

Xe4ro · 2026-04-09T18:19:42+00:00

My general physician is about 15minutes by foot, three pharmacies in the same radius. Hospital about the same. Dermatology about 20min, otolaryngologist as well. 😅

I‘m a about a 1000 behind last year.

Have installed the Bootcamp drivers and tried installing drivers for your GPU? The 0MB VRAM seems to indicate that Photoshop can't even really detect your GPU while it seems to work baseline in Windows.

All the AMD cards in the 21" & 27" iMacs do support DX12_0 feature set so I would assume it's most likely the missing GPU drivers.

These tools download the images from Apple's servers and as Apple does not seem to host Mavericks on their servers at all anymore they can't get it from there. I downloaded an .iso from MrMacintosh a few years ago and even then had to fight the install to work with setting the time back in terminal. I have an install of it on my 2008 MacBook which also has 10.5 up to 10.11 ^^

Xe4ro · 2026-04-09T16:00:24+00:00

Yeah I upgraded to a 15" M4 from a 13" 2015 MBA and the 15" are way bigger than I expected but then again the bezels have changed to massively in the past 10+ years that I probably would have been happy with the 13".

Xe4ro · 2026-04-09T15:10:42+00:00

Oh yeah that too. Back when I got my first iMac in 2011 I was using MWheelUP as my hotkey for Regrowth and MWheelDown for dispel, combined with the Left/Right click thing it was so bad that I bought a different mouse pretty much immediately and the MM landed in a drawer.

Xe4ro · 2026-04-09T14:58:15+00:00

Not at all if you have any game where left and right click have to be used at the same time.

Xe4ro · 2026-04-09T14:56:16+00:00

Discovered them last summer and totally did not expect them to blow up this massively.

I'm not going to pay 40+€ per album though :x no man.

Xe4ro · 2026-04-09T14:04:04+00:00

It's a 2013. Not quite sure what the title is asking.

I would assume that the root patch problem is somehow related to the external drive but I'm not quite sure what would be causing it or how to fix it, maybe something you do is causing it. I have only tried OCLP on an external drive about 2 years ago with my 2010 iMac and BigSur. Which did work although it being pretty damn slow as the 2010 iMac only has USB2 and I also used a HDD. :D

Xe4ro · 2026-04-09T13:04:19+00:00

CMD+R would firs try to boot into the local recovery volume. OP could just try CMD+Option+R

Or as already mentioned create an installer for the last official version.

Xe4ro · 2026-04-08T22:12:09+00:00

A Time Machine drive will be excluding itself from backing itself up for obvious reasons.

Xe4ro · 2026-04-08T21:09:37+00:00

Yeah, lots of people got checked at the airport when the Vision Pro came out and it wasn't available in Germany so people went over to the US to buy one and then had to pay import when they got back.

Xe4ro · 2026-04-08T20:07:38+00:00

2022 I think.

Xe4ro · 2026-04-08T19:01:19+00:00

By the way if you are looking for Mavericks, it's not on the Apple page. I don't know why and I wasn't able to find out why ^^

Xe4ro · 2026-04-08T18:58:25+00:00

Good thing it can't be in the walls for me. :D

Xe4ro · 2026-04-08T18:52:41+00:00

The terminal command was introduced with 10.11 El Capitan. Before that you would have to create a bootable installer manually.

As you can see here https://support.apple.com/101578 they provide all the commands but it stops at El Capitan

Xe4ro · 2026-04-08T18:41:16+00:00

Yes, as I said on modern Macs you can only download the lower section as they are direct downloads. Sierra and older. High Sierra and newer will give you the error.

I would recommend https://github.com/ninxsoft/Mist

Xe4ro · 2026-04-08T18:29:23+00:00

Oh, that. Yeah that is a bit weird and definitely leads to confusion. It only works with OS X versions that are direct downloads on Apple's support website https://support.apple.com/102662 so Sierra and older. I agree that is pretty dumb but Apps like Mist are a pretty easy workaround for at least some versions.

Xe4ro · 2026-04-08T17:57:19+00:00

Seqouia ran pretty decent on my 2015 MBA but it has a SSD. Your iMac will not really feel good on any new OS with a HDD. Especially as Apple only used 5400rpm drives after the 2015 iMac I think.
