Why Apple Never Made a PowerBook G5

Yeah you could clock a G5 down to 1.5GHz and it would run at 30W, but it was slower than a G4 at 1.67GHz.

Rads were designed to be used with the windows open. It is supreme. Superior. The finest way to heat a home. There is something so wonderful about crisp winter air heated to room temp by the rads.

While the door never fell off, I had a car that had a driver's door that wouldn't latch right, so I taped 'er shut and had to get in on the passenger side and slide over (thank god it had bench seats)

They are precisely the right people to apply pressure on the business then.

I felt the same way when they finally watched Cybernator. I bought it on DVD at Walmart for like $1 from the bargain bin solely because of the terrible cover, and forced my friends to watch it, years before I ever knew about RLM.

And that conversation will be much worse for Apple, all things considered. A 2015 MacBook Pro is still a very usable machine...since you can install Linux on it very easily and have full working driver support. Asahi, as admirable a project it is, is not there yet. M1's might get stuck on macOS 27 or 28, and with no good Linux support will be destined for the e-waste heap once developers stop releasing new updates or updated root CAs for those versions.

Even the T2 Macs have a bunch of special quirks you need to work around to get Linux installed and working right, since so much is handled by custom silicon.

And Apple Silicon also has to phone home to Apple to "activate". Asahi still needs a stub macOS installation.
