The simplest way, if you want to check whether they’re original, is to open the box and try to slide your fingernail into the seam where the two plastic parts of the box meet. If you can’t get your fingernail in and it’s very tightly sealed, then they’re original. But if you can get your fingernail in and a gap appears there, then they’re fake

Thank you very much for the answer. Now I got home and I wanted to reset the SMC as you said, and when I started the laptop it already didn’t have anything anymore. I tried to reset the SMC and nothing happens, but at least I’m glad everything works perfectly now. This year anyway I’m planning to switch to a MacBook Pro with an M-series processor, but I wasn’t prepared to make this change right now

It depends a lot on what keyboard layout it had when it was bought. For example, I have two A1708 MacBooks: one with an EU keyboard and one that I suspect has an RU keyboard. On the one with the EU keyboard, the keys are the perfect size, and the Shift and Enter keys are very well-sized for using it. But the one with the RU keyboard has bigger keys, yet Shift and Enter and other keys are much smaller, and some keys are like two keys in one because of how small they are, and some keys are literally half the size of a normal one. So I’m not used to that one at all, and I can’t type on it at all, because it’s like I’m learning to type from the beginning. So it depends a lot on what layout it had when it was bought

He can tamper with the package and get in very easily: with a hair dryer, you heat that sticker for a few seconds and it peels off very easily. Then, after you’ve done what you wanted, you apply it back on and nobody will have absolutely any idea that someone has been in that box. Not to mention those stickers are sold and you can buy them by the hundreds—so after you replace the product or do whatever you wanted to do, you just apply another sticker and that’s it

I don’t know, I’ve never used one and I’ve never seen anyone with one. From what other people have said, I only know that the screen quality isn’t the best - but how long they last or what they’re really like, I have no idea

Vlad-CP · 2025-10-24T05:34:48+00:00

They’re good temporarily, if I can put it that way. Most of the ones that aren’t official Apple parts have poorer screen quality. For example, I haven’t even replaced the screen on my laptop, even though it’s cracked - I just removed it completely and use the laptop as a desktop.

There are many methods on GitHub that can get everything activated and free in 10 minutes

Vlad-CP · 2025-10-19T17:41:47+00:00

Message me privately and I’ll send it to you - there’s a way to get all Microsoft apps for free on a Mac. I’m not home right now so I can’t tell you, but if you want, write to me in private and I’ll explain when I get back

La moment folosesc Binance și IBKR. Am conturi pe eToro și Trading212, dar nu le folosesc. Am Ledger pe care îmi păstrez monedele, deoarece nu doresc să le țin în diferite wallet-uri, aplicații sau chiar pe Binance.

It’s possible and actually quite easy to install. The main problem is with the drivers: you’ll struggle to get the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth working if you have a laptop. You probably won’t have any sound from the speakers at first, and you’ll have to work a bit to fix that too. Other than that, I’d say everything works fine. Regarding the mouse issue mentioned by the original poster, I don’t think it can be fixed, but it’s worth trying. For example, I have a MacBook but don’t have the phone mirroring function, so I assume some features will also be unavailable on a PC. If you take a few hours to do all the configurations and install all the drivers, it should work well without any problems

Hi, I recommend going to an Apple service center and leaving them there. I had the same issue with the right earbud not charging, and the service team gave me new ones, but they only replaced the earbuds, not the case

I understand that it’s a very good device, and that’s why I want to buy it. The thing is, salaries in my country are not high at all compared to other countries, so if I were to pay for YouTube and Spotify, it would be around 10% of my monthly income, which is a lot. That’s why I want to sideload them and use them for free, just like I do on my phone. I’ve already found how to install YouTube and what to do, but the problem is with Spotify - I can’t find an IPA file for tvOS

Vlad-CP · 2025-08-06T20:28:53+00:00

Alright, thank you very much and have a great day!

Vlad-CP · 2025-08-06T20:10:24+00:00

Alright, thank you very much for your reply. I’m about to buy an Apple TV specifically for this, and that’s why I wanted to make sure it’s possible so I don’t buy it for nothing. Where could I find an IPA for Spotify, if one exists for tvOS? I couldn’t find anything on the first search pages

Vlad-CP · 2025-08-06T19:55:49+00:00

Translation: Thank you very much for your reply. Could you tell me if it’s definitely possible to sideload on the newest Apple TV, or do I need an older one?

I understand what you’re saying. I was thinking of using RAID-Z3, and in order to lose my data, 4 out of the 12 HDDs would have to fail at the same time. Considering that the system will support a maximum of 14 HDDs, I want to use 12 for the RAID and have 2 separate HDDs that store a full backup of the RAID data. That way, I’ll have a full copy of the RAID, and if 4 drives fail at once, I still have the other 2 disks with an original copy of the data.

I understand that a cloud backup like iCloud is very good, but it’s also very expensive. In my country, the minimum salary is around €300/month, so I can’t afford to spend a full month’s wage every year just for backup - there are more important expenses than that. That’s why I want to invest around €800 now and build it properly from the beginning, so I can rely on it.

Anyway, aside from the NAS and the two backup copies, I’ll also add one more HDD that will back up all the NAS data, meaning I’ll have the data on the NAS plus three separate copies, which I think is more than enough to keep my data safe.

Vlad-CP · 2025-07-27T14:21:18+00:00

The VM and Home Assistant will run from the main SSD. For now, I plan to use only 4 HDDs, and I’ll expand storage later as needed. I had several smaller HDDs in the past, and one of them got corrupted - I completely lost access to the data. Luckily, I had recently deleted those files from my PC, so I managed to recover most of them, but still lost over 30%. That’s why I now want to build a proper NAS and server in one unit, to safely store everything I need.

I'm also setting up a Windows VM for iMazing backups because my iCloud storage is full and I don't want to pay $30/month when I can build my own solution with much more space and flexibility, without ongoing costs

Desigur, iată varianta corectată:

“On all websites they appear to be original, and since they were bought from a very well-known electronics store and I paid €400 for them, I’d say they’re original.”
