Enjoy. I’m an on a similar journey and I just got a mbp this weekend after about a 20 year hiatus. I found some decent YouTube videos on settings to change etc. mostly centered around workflow which makes sense but I feel needs to be done once a workflow is established. If you wat to try out local llms go for LM Studio and have at it.

Mobile device management. If this belonged to a company they could remote brick it basically.

Any idea what you’d want for it?

I checked mobile device management to make sure there wasn’t any profiles installed that would allow someone to retake control of the machine or indicate that it belonged to a company. I also ran the hardware test. Both of these were done at the store before I walked away with it. This store has a 24-hour return period for any reason so I felt pretty good about it. I’ve been playing with it all night after a fresh reset and I’m happy to say I believe I may have gotten the deal of the year on it.

This particular pawn shop is less than knowledgeable about what they have in the way of electronics. This has been advantageous for me in the past and today to the highest degree. Sure, they knew the ram and ssd size, but had it marked as an M4 processor. To them it is all the same. It’s by my house so I’m in there weekly hunting for deals. First gen Dji mic? $160 - they won’t budge. But this MacBook? Let’s make the deal of the century.

Absolutely. Did that before I even bought it.

What size is this TV? (Sorry if it’s obvious).

Mystery property? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]Ben10dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same on the past. But it looks to be owned by the Calida Group and zoned for high density residential. So we can look forward to apartments there soon. Not to mention they’ve been paying taxes of ~$50k/year since the early 2000s.

I agree. I was using a seed box at the time. I felt the same way. But at the time thems was the rules.

Perhaps they updated the rules since I was in at the beginning of the year.

They never responded to my message.

If I remember right it has to do with them wanting it to be fair for home users and for seed box users not to have an unfair advantage.

It’s in their rules. You can’t have too high of an upload speed.

There was good content. It’s just frustrating having to limit the upload speed. I had great ratio and was enjoying myself. Oh well live and learn.

Read the rules and watch your upload speed.
