    Ok update on this. Pretty sure its an urban legend. I cannot find any reference to it at https://www.apple3.org/Documents/Manuals/Apple III Owner's Guide.PDF Some websites do reference it but no official apple sources.

    That cant possibly be true.
  4. When you have 2 sticks one 8GB and the other 16GB with all the other specs being the same you still run in dual channel mode. Its only that the after the first 8GB of the 16 GB module is used you would run in single channel. For your use case I would suggest going with the 24GB of ram since it also gives some overhead for more applications/intensive tasks that you might later use.
  5. Ok so this is kinda like a last resort solution. If nothing else works get him an absolute nugget of a computer. I am talking like single core atom processor from 2007 or something. Make the computer/laptop so terrible that they wouldnt want to reset it. Just make sure it works for only what he needs to do for school. If that seems too extreme just get him an ipad with a keyboard and setup a child iCloud account for him and restrict alot of settings in screen time. Its practically impossible to break apple's child lock and screen time restrictions on an iPad or iPhone without access to a computer and using settings in screen time you can lock the device down so hard that he would not have a way past. DO NOT USE AN ANDROID TABLET FOR THIS. It is stupidly easy to factory reset those even without a computer.

    You could always just restore the phone in recovery more. Enter your iCloud password and restore it again. Its longer but since you were trying to mess around in places you were not supposed to that just seems like a you problem.

    I had to buy a TI-84 and the only one in stock was the ti84 plus ce. I paid like 120$ for it and it is the most overkill calculator I have ever bought.

    This is one of the reasons I will most likely never use an Android as my primary phone. I am a type of person to upgrade my phone after like 5-6 years usually so it makes sense to use an iPhone for those insanely good update cycles.

  20. Ok so I just found the stupidest solution to a problem which is the best kind of solution.

    Basically, in that core 2 duo system I put a 256GB SSD in it which is what I have spare, but the thing is that every restart that system tried to poll the SSD for the current spin rate for the drive. Now since its not a hard drive and did not send a signal the system thought it was dead. But if you hit f1 it skipped that check and booted up just fine.

    This wont be good since I want to have that box just sitting without any peripherals or monitor so having to plug in a keyboard every time it restarts or I restart it through SSH is annoying.

     

    The solution to this is telling the system that there is no drive in the sata port. This is an option in the ancient 2007 dell bios for some reason and toggling that stops the system from polling the SSD asking for the spin rate in the start because there is not supposed to be a drive in that sata port. But when it sees that there is a drive there it just skips the initial checks and boots straight into Ubuntu.

  21. Yes I have but nothing quite as new as yours. My quadro P4000 sounds like that and so does my CPU fan for that matter.
  22. There are a million different reasons. Maybe they use a different internal fan layout or they use a different bearing structure. From what I can tell there is no reason to worry about your GPU fan it is performing as expected.
  23. Yes even when spinning normally though it should be a volume difference during idle and while under load or during startup.
  24. Yes that's perfectly normal. That's how fans sound.
