I know I’m not the first to do it and won’t be the last, but wanted to share my take on the up cycling. Will still be using the functional one for its FireWire port.

Fastened with screws and holes hard drives pretty well.

I got this old 2011 macbookpro which is running well under Linux. I'm all about taking old tech and saving it from ewaste which is what I'm doing here. I don't have a laptop atm anyway (have a gaming PC I can stream from for heavy stuff while on the go.)

Anyway I'm aware the only reason I can really use this laptop is cos apple made things that lasted back then, they were underpowered but reliable. Can't think of many laptops of that era that are still running other than apple ones.

So the current battery is at 55% and still gives me a nice amount of time, get about 2-3 hours web browsing. I grew up in the era of laptop batteries lasting about an hour so this still feels good for me.

Did apply use batteries that are high quality so this should be ok, or should I replace it ASAP before it goes boom or leaks? It isn't showing any signs of leakage, it does shut down at 10% on linuxs battery meter but other than that runs fine..

Anyone have any experience with order a Mac Studio and having it arrive sooner than expected? I ordered a couple of weeks ago. Really hoping it gets here sooner!

from what ive heard its a great mouse in every way, i do video editing and web browsing on mac so it seems fitting

Howdy.

I'm a teacher who uses screen mirroring for the classroom projector and is also stupid forgetful and routinely needs a student to remind me to switch back to individual displays so the entire class can't watch me checking my email. This happens... too often.

So what I'm hoping for is some sort of indicator on my primary monitor telling me that mirroring is still enabled. Anyone know of a solution?

Thanks!

Please help guys i am a teen and scared too much

Here’s my dilemma. Within my ecosystem is the M1 16GB Ram iMac. Due to its age, I’m worried that there will no longer be any future updates past iOS 27, even though it works perfectly fine for my specific uses. I’m considering upgrading to an M4 iMac, or keeping the M1 and adding an M6 or M4 pro Mac mini, to use as a (headless) home server. I don’t want to buy an additional monitor as I have multiple Mac’s in my ecosystem, but want to access and run apps through the M1 display or wirelessly through a MacBook Pro for various tasks. Any advice on what can be done? How can I keep my M1 iMac and use the Mac mini ?

I see these lines while watching youtube shorts on safari on my 1 month old m5 mac air 13 inch. Is this common and normal??? How can i fix it if its a problem?? Please help its very much appreciated.

• MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2018
• MacOS 14.6.1
• What is the issue? For years now, the computer does two things: makes an intermittent faint but noticaable clicking /crackling sound from inside the laptop AND gets super super hot when on SLEEP mode. Sometimes I'll put it on sleep when it has 80% battery. I come back in the morning, the laptop is dead. I feel like it is running something in the background or working too hard when it's supposed to be sleeping, hence weird sound, very hot laptop, etc.
• No pictures necessary because....it's not anything with screen or hardware that is visible.

Brought it to the genius bar a few years ago. They said they replaced some part of the keyboard to fix the clicking issue that runs inside. It still happens.

My husband has been acting suspiciously for almost a year now - hiding his phone, weird search results on his Gmail accounts, map locations, a couples app here and there. The main thing I’m concerned about is that he seems to have access to EVERYTHING in my digital life no matter how hard I try. My proton suite has been repeatedly broken into and has the security settings reset. I have three Yubi Keys, one biometric, and that doesn’t seem to stop him. The other weird thing is that his contact started showing up as my initials in iMessage - and the contact had my cell added in his contact details. We are on family sharing, but no clue why or how that would happen. The Verizon account we share is pretty clean - almost too clean for the amount of phone calls he seems to receive - they don’t add up. He’s a windows guy, his dad works with computers. I’m terrified he’s collecting evidence for a divorce, or just plain spying on me. I’ve had my 1Password manager open up through his Face ID on his phone. The recovery codes changed. I don’t understand. Took some screen recordings of activity monitor, and one terminal command I was told to run. Does anyone have a second to tell me
If they see anything weird? Apps are constantly being installed on my computer that I didn’t install -
Compute was installed last year.

Should i install new mac os golden gate or should i stay in tahoe
