    just scored a 2006 MBP for €36. the keyboard is faulty but I can work with that, it'll be a nice addition to my collection. I plan to replace the keyboard to make it like new again and then I'll have a new Mac for running Snow Leopard on...

    don't you hate it when consoles you grew up playing are now "retro" and "rare"? I own an original Xbox and was just looking for some games on the used market and my god... people are charging €50 for games that aren't even good. that's close to new AAA game money. like come on....

      At least with optical media based consoles you are likely to get a actual retail copy of the game, meanwhile if we look at like Conkers Bad Fur Day for the N64, there are more fake carts than real ones. Not only do I see them online, but also in local used game stores.

       

      For pricing, it is kind of insane. I've sold PS2 Games for up to $150 USD and in box SNES Donkey Kong Set Console for $150, just because that's what the used market is willing to pay. That's also at under current used market value for quick sale, the console for instance was relisted shortly after they bought it for around $300 USD. So even if I don't sell it for a insane price, someone else will grab it and do it.

       

      These are just more reasons why emulation and illegal rom distribution has become so popular.

       

       

      With that said, that original xbox is probably reaching near death if you haven't replaced the caps. The main one of concern being the clock capacitor, which can just be cut off if you don't care about keeping time when it's unplugged for short periods.

      I doubt that, it's still running just fine. it's also a crystal edition so it was made in 2000, just before the capacitor plague. I have also opened this up a few times to clean the dust out and to reseat a loose cable. the board looked fine...

      Its just a pretty common issue so i thought i would mention it.

    she's more capable than Tarja, and I just like her voice more. Tarja just sounds like a good singer, Floor in certain songs sounds like some kind of Valkyrie goddess, or a siren of sorts. her voice to me sounds almost like an angel.

      I mean, technically what you like is entirely subjective and can't be objectively wrong, but it's wrong. 😄 

       

      Have you listened to the live version of Sleeping Sun from both of them? Floor sounds a lot flatter to me. There's more power in Tarja's voice and she can reach much higher notes, that she sings a lot cleaner too. Makes sense of course, as Tarja also sings operas.

    if this is your view why did you want Windows 11 to begin with? doesn't make sense to me...

    i didn't say it's the best tool for completely illiterate people. however, i think you can recommend it in a video or written tutorial if you post screenshots of what to do. regardless you have to agree with me that it's more reliable than the MCT, even though it has a UI from 1992
  15. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    rufus actually is valid, the media creation tool is trash. it's often more reliable to make a windows installer using rufus and a .iso if you know what you're doing.

      I'm looking forward to some of the new iOS features. Unfortunately my iPad upgrade has taken a back seat to my iPad upgrade, so I'll have to wait a while to see the iPadOS 16 improvements.

      It really does look nice, not sure how much I will use the new customization features or widgets though, especially since I have an Apple Watch. Look forward to having that option though.

    i've downgraded my MBP to Catalina, i've noticed that both Big Sur and Monterey are a lot slower, presumably because they are more optimized for M1, leaving my older Mac behind a bit.

      Yup my 2016 mac is almost unusable on them. Had to restore it via internet where it installed the original version (Sierra or High Sierra?) and it was flying there.

      Fun fact: that's the retina MBP with a single USB-C port. Wanted to install from USB install media of course, but it won't let you do without the charger plugged - and if I used any kind of hub to be able to plug both it wouldn't find the USB drive 😠

    wouldn't this have the same problem as those portable AC's with one hose? in that it'll create negative pressure that'll cause warm air to come into your appartment and heat it up?

    maybe not spend so much that you're no longer profitable...? 99% of what i watch is animated so... pretty much yeah.

    notice how i specified "LMG Channels" in the OP. that means LTT, SC, MA, TQ, TL, all of them. i'm not saying all channels are affected, but to avoid stuff like this i kept it broad.
