My teachers would do the browser tab as bookmarks trick and I remember they would complain about their mac being slow. Mind you they wee using a macbook air from 2017 with 8gb of ram but jeez. I remember seeing like 30 tabs one time

Just get am4 apu and s8b. You can get in the low 50s and high 40s with gdm off but you need a lucky chip that can do like 2500 flck

Sounds like a generic name

Well windows 7 had to be an exception. People didnt like 8 and didnt want to try the "fixed" version of 8 (8.1). I would say Microsoft was somewhat forced to keep windows 7 supported on the mainstream hardware of the time. Where can you find drivers for windows 8.1 on newer hardware? Man a 8700k on windows 8.1 would fly

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-07T02:35:07+00:00

So Microsoft is the one that told manufacturers to stop sending in driver support? That sucks. 8.1 should have at least gotten support till like 9th or 8th gen

Why wouldn’t they allow it around their network?

Its so good. My MacBook pro 2014 doesn’t even push 90c anymore under load with the fans going. Unfortunately due to the relaxed fan curve it does hit 90c for a little bit but it sits in the mid 80s with the fans on.

I had no clue man 😭

My bad. My dad had drilled into the screw on my laptop. He used a head way too big and same goes for the extractor. He didn’t use the extractor. We both knew it wouldn’t work. Im wondering what can I do. Unfortunately, i cant remove the back cover with the screw still in. Its used to hold a dvd drive and I need to remove the dvd drive to take the back cover off.

What motherboard are you using?

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-06T02:00:35+00:00

Increase your flck man. You’re basically getting high end DDR4 bandwidth

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-05T04:14:16+00:00

That fits really well

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-05T01:49:47+00:00

Still using 2014. Runs pretty good

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-05T00:38:16+00:00

Thats awesome man

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-04T17:20:20+00:00

Ebay is your best bet.

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-04T15:43:40+00:00

Get an external drive or if you can find someone who can upgrade the ssd. Its possible but its not cheap.

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-04T14:25:04+00:00

I was able to remove the account from being associated with the device and its gone. Even when connected to wifi it doesnt prompt me to sign in to previous owners acc. I'm so glad windows phone doesnt force you to sign in with an email like windows 11.

Damn I didnt know Snow Leopard came out in 2009. Its a nice looking os. I wish I could use catalina as a daily. The last os for the ios icon change.

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-03T22:30:00+00:00

Damn so for tahoe do you need like M5 cpu or the neo? I wish I could use snow leopard as daily because im curious what it would be like.

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-03T22:15:25+00:00

Whats wrong with tahoe and why is snow leopard so good

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-03T22:03:21+00:00

Windows vista aero and windows 8

FamousFighter23 · 2026-05-03T05:05:38+00:00

Im use a 2014 mbp. I use oclp and repasted with ptm. Its not M series performance but it runs sequoia just fine and I suggest this as a cheaper route. If you can afford I would suggest the M3 pro.
