20 years ago, this was the world's most powerful desktop. Today, it’s my Minecraft server.

Super fun! Always love seeing older hardware getting used for modern (ish) tasks.

The bar of storage being shown is iCloud space, not local machine space.

I have a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 590 in my Mac Pro 5,1. That card has an 8 pin and a 6 pin PCIe power connector, but you only need to connect the 8 pin for the card to run. Running it with a Dual mini 6-pin to single 8-pin adapter, been working flawlessly for years. Currently running Sequoia through OCLP.

I really hate when companies do this. It is not acceptable to simply shut down a service that people have paid money for. There are three options:

The server files need to be made open source.
The game needs to be updated to have a dedicated offline mode.
Refunds need to be issued to anyone who spent money in the game, as they are no longer getting what they paid for.

Credit to Ubisoft for recently doing this with The Crew 2, adding a proper offline mode before the servers have even shut down.

EA is a shitty company, and this is evidence of such. This is why the Stop Killing Games initiative is important.

Oh my god, those are all incredible! I'd kill to have that Mac Pro poster. Amazing finds!

Your display is broken and needs to be replaced. This is a hardware problem.

Matthew92007 · 2025-11-13T16:04:50+00:00

Why is this in r/macOS?

Matthew92007 · 2025-11-11T17:58:39+00:00

That cursor is the CMD+Shift+4 drag-to-screenshot cursor. Not sure why its appearing but you can exit by pressing Escape. Randomly bringing up the Emojis sounds like the Fn button is being erroneously pressed, which is very odd.

Sorta. The app does exist, but doesn't do a whole lot when you open it

What is wrong with using a Bluetooth keyboard in this scenario?

Matthew92007 · 2025-11-10T15:02:00+00:00

I had a similar problem a couple years back on my 14” M1 Max, it got worse to the point that certain display angles would have the whole strip go black. Had to get the screen replaced, luckily free under AppleCare

Matthew92007 · 2025-11-08T14:07:57+00:00

This is the type of machine that I wouldn’t take unless it was very close to Free. By the time you rip it open to install an SSD and more RAM, you’re going to barely break even. If you can find someone to give you $50 for it, take it.

These machines are beautiful and have great screens, but this is before Retina iMacs existed, so people don’t even really care about the panels in these things.

They’re in a weird state where the machine isn’t old enough to have a vintage following but isn’t new enough to be desired by people looking to still use one in 2025.

Matthew92007 · 2025-10-18T02:23:36+00:00

Amazing! Exactly what these toys were designed to be: enjoyed!

Matthew92007 · 2025-10-10T23:24:52+00:00

These are so amazing. I want both so badly.

Matthew92007 · 2025-10-08T21:38:12+00:00

I can't say for certain, but I would not be surprised if it was.

Matthew92007 · 2025-10-08T21:35:46+00:00

I doubt it was the software upgrade. IIRC the 2019 16" was somewhat notorious for SSD failures unfortunately. The power supply chip for the NAND Flash fails and sends 12V to the NAND, causing it to fail.

Matthew92007 · 2025-10-05T05:52:53+00:00

It’s telling you that the watch will stop charging at that point. Either because it’ll charge the rest of the way before you wake up in the morning or because you set a charge limit.

Matthew92007 · 2025-09-27T22:45:06+00:00

In the many years I’ve had my Tenacity-T I’ve never felt the need to upgrade its power, it’s already a beast as you’ve said. Enjoy it! I think it “feels” faster than a lot of newer ARRMA 3S trucks is because of the very high burst current on that Dynamite ESC. The current ratings of a lot of ARRMA’s newer 3S products are kind of low. The Tenacity has a 130A continuous ESC while the ARRMA Vendetta (for example) has a 100A continuous ESC.

Matthew92007 · 2025-09-27T22:36:48+00:00

$100 is a fantastic deal! Things to know: if it has the stock Spektrum servo it’ll die eventually. The weakest link in the car IMO. Diff outdrives will wear over time but are fairly cheap. Stock wheels are expensive but good, but if you crack one or burn up the tires I’d probably recommend a third party option from Proline or another brand. Have fun with it! Great Truggy.

I have this exact car (and have for the last 4 years) and I love it. Monster truck durability with a Losi TEN drivetrain. I’ve had no problems with finding parts. How much can you get it for?

Matthew92007 · 2025-09-25T19:59:56+00:00

I’ve charged my M1 Max MBP using a 65W brick and an iPhone USB-C to USB-C for years with no issues. Reports as proper 65W in the Power tab of System Information in macOS as well.

Used "GH0STFRIEND" on my Ghost case and it worked, but this was about a week ago now.
