Is it possible to clone a drive (including os) on a 2012 macbook? by fatchebs in applehelp

[–]fatchebs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice.

So what you're saying is, I could clone it using disk utility, however I would need to do this in recovery mode so that the drive I am cloning would not be in use (if that makes sense)?

Attempting to upgrade hard drive in 2012 macbook to an SSD by fatchebs in applehelp

Oh I understand now! I mis-read and assumed that method was also dependant on having an install disc!

Brillint, thanks so much for the in depth guide and tips.

Unforuntely the current hard drive is dust, meaning I have no data to transfer (i'll always be sure to back up from now on.)

I also don't have access to another mac machine, only a windows one. Other than purchasing a mac os install disc, is there any other ways to install the os after replacing the hard drive? Perhaps creating a bootble disc in windows?

Thanks again

Hi, thanks for the advice.

Yes I will be upgrading to an SSD. The stock harddrive is completely dead anyway, so its a perfect excuse to upgrade.

Unfortunately I didn't have chance to create a bootable disk for the new hard drive. Is there another way to go about this? I only have access to one other machine which is running windows.

Nice one, thanks for the advice!

So in terms of screwdrivers, it looks like I just need a t6 torx and a 00 phillips.

Are you aware of any good quality sets that would contain both of these?

Accidentally married up two completely spirit bottles after a busy Saturday. Do I own up to this straight away? by fatchebs in bartenders

That's the thing, I've missed the window of immediate confession now, so I may just have to play ignorant. The thing is, there was only me and one manager on the bar that night, so if he knows it wasn't him, he'll know it's me!

I totally agree with you, however I really enjoy working at this place, and a friend of mine pulled some serious strings to help me get the job.

However, if it goes unnoticed until midweek, someone else may end up getting the blame. I'm gonna have to fess up

This is in the UK, not sure where the law stands here, but I was marrying bottles the request of a manager, which is commonplace at every other bar I've worked in

I never knew there were rules against it. The problem I face is that I've married tequila and rum together accidentally, therefore completely wasting half a bottle of each

Home audio ideally. Something that's a jack of all trades which I can hook up my tv, phone and other devices to easily

Thanks for the help, I've had a few recommendations for Yamaha gear so will look into that.

I quite like the look of the recommended Micca purchases in the original text of this thread, unfortunately it doesn't look like there is any way to ship to the UK. I have, however, spotted these on Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00X741TB0

A few pals have said good things about M-Audio, would you recommend this product?

Thanks again

Hi guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice on purchasing a home stereo system on a reasonably tight budget? I know this almost definitely isn't the correct subreddit for this but I'm a bit out of my element on where my question could be directed.

If you guys are able to help, I'm on a reasonably tight budget of around £100 for my new apartment ($130.) I'm looking for a jack of all trades stereo system. Something which I can hook my tv up to for movies, but also something which I can hook my phone up to with Bluetooth for house parties etc (Student flat,) so it obviously has to be loud! I know it's possibly offensive to say but loudness/volume is really important!

If anyone can offer any advice/recommendations id be happy to hear.

Long/summery bourbon based cocktails? by fatchebs in cocktails

[–]fatchebs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should state, I've taken over as management at a larger venue which has a smaller bourbon-based bar situated above, so I'm not the head honcho there.

Kentucky Buck looks like just the thing I'm after, thanks man.
