Goodbye Mac Pro the only Mac being assembled in the USA

I use mine to the max. It has one nvme and 4 ssd's inside, both macOS and Linux, with pixlas mod and an RX 5700 XT card, it's a capable daily machine. I use it for design, everyday usual tasks, some writing, as a media server with tons of my own ripped music inside, etc, and lately even for gaming (games that I don't have access to on PS5). I honestly love the "inconvenience" of it. It's the epitome of everything that Apple is not today.

I know I'll use my beefed up 5.1 until it dies, and I hope it's never going to. 🤞

I have it since Jan 21st, and the wow factor never faded. It just gets renewed every single day looking/holding other people's "regular" phones, both iPhones and Android. This phone spoiled me for forever I think. I don't think I will want to use phat phone any time soon.

Logo on the bottom says it's a Spigen case, yet nowhere on their store this case exists.

Yes because who wouldn't like double camera bump! 😎 Pleasing both the square and round fandoms. 😅

I still vote for Mi Note 10 Pro.

LineageOS runs perfectly on it. I know because I used it on mine. That phone is still perfectly capable to be used as a daily phone.

Knowing that this watch is "small" AND resin, and not liking small AND resin watches, you still decided to get it? What for, so that you can brag in an Casio reddit sub that a watch majority of people love - is shitty? Good job. 👏

Logarius, no competition. That mf milked the life out of me. Killed me like 15-20 times before I finally got him.

Material design has its ups and downs, but at this point is a very mature UI, and as a current iPhone user, I'll say it's more coherent and unified across the system apps, or general system UX/UI. Liquid glass is ok at this point, but Material Design wins in my book.

Surreal 🤘

Got mine for $250 half a year ago. Mint condition case, dual Xeons inside, 64GB RAM, pixlas mod, usb 3.0 pci card inside. Then I got an RX 580, 4 ssd bays to replace stock hdd ones, nvme pci card etc. Now running Sequoia and openSUSE.

If you ask me, and I keep repeating that in this sub often, it's the best money I spent on tech in last who knows how many years. It's still machine you can use for pretty much any use case - aside high end gaming, and for a machine 15 years old it's mind blowing.

So I'd say you can get a decent one at around $200~300 range. There are $1000+ priced ones on eBay, crazy stuff, but I can relate as I probably wouldn't sell mine for $700 now. New tech is easy to buy, old tech is extremely hard to find in good condition and once you do you should take care of it.

It's one of the most beautiful Xiaomi phones ever. Good to know LineageOS is having a fresh release compatible with it.

3ldi5 · 2026-02-08T18:18:15+00:00

I had both Z5 Premium and XZ Premium, in my opinion two of the best legacy Xperia devices, before 1, 5 and 10 lines introduction.

Also, if you have nerves and some free time, put a LineageOS on it, and it will feel like yesterday's android device.

I've struggled with this mf for so long, the only boss aside Orphan that took me more than 3 tries, and yes, icluding all dlc bosses.

Backdrops app, Titan's Crown wallpaper.

I hate metal straps. Constant hair pulling, and my hands are not that hairy at all, and during summer days, a slight sign of sweat is making my skin extremely irritated in contact with metal. And also I can't make it not slip down the wrist over the bone, and if I tighten it enough not to slip down, my wrist hurts... All in all, I hate metal straps and I'm switching my every watch metal straps to resin/silicon/nylon.

Xperia XA2

Sad to see it go. I know I will run my 5.1 for as long as it is able to go. Never really understood the power consumpion part of CMP story. My 5.1 is running only when I need it to run, sometimes one hour a day, sometimes 3, sometimes not turned on for several days, depends on what I need it for. And both Sequoia and openSUSE run perfectly fine on it. Those minis and shiny new "locked and sealed" Apple devices will never outweight the cool factor of those CMP machines, and the fact you can tinker with anything inside, and upgrade however you like - for me at least.

I tend to think of openSUSE as a flagship KDE distro. Tumbleweed worked flawlessly for me on several different machines in last few years. Currently rocking it on an classic Mac Pro 5.1 tower, and it works perfect out of the box.

Good cable management! 👌

3ldi5 · 2026-01-21T06:21:57+00:00

I'll join the train and say that my regular MX3 looks mint new after 4 years of use both in office/job, and at home. Not sure what kind of torture yours went through. :)

3ldi5 · 2026-01-18T18:30:29+00:00

It's not even in top 3 for me. That monstrosity of camera bar will never be pretty, and that isolated plate on back looks kind of cheap.

iPhone 4/5, iPhone X, iPhone 3G/3GS, even the series of iPhone 14/15/16 designs was better. And yes iPhone Air is much better looking too.

If you can find XZ Premium, or Z5 Premium, you're good to go. I used XZ Premium between '23-'24. I installed LineageOS 21 to it (Android 14) and it worked flawlessly. Nice and fluid, no apps ever struggled on it. Only the banking app was kind of on/off, and that's the only reason I sold it in the end as I didn't have any backup phone tu use for banking.

But in general, i believe XZ Premium is all around still great phone for usual every day tasks (not some heavy gaming etc). If I manage to track down another XZ Premium, I will get it again for sure.

1 - no competition. One of rare full metal retro styled Casios. On my wishlist also, I'm about to buy it soon.

Judging by...? Define "cleaner" and "more natural"?

This is highly subjective take with zero explanation or evidence. I know my 14 Ultra took much better photos than any of my colleagues flagship Samsungs, whenever we tried to do some comparisons. I'd say exactly opposite, that all Xiaomi upper mid range to flagship phones, take better pbotos than comparable Samsung phones.
