| My recent build: an og xbox fitted into an old iMac G3 Posted: 01 Feb 2019 02:22 PM PST I may receive some hate for this but.... Modded original Xbox shoved inside a lime green iMac G3. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the guts inside, I was too excited to get it all together and working yesterday. I have some finishing touches I want to do inside this weekend. I'll post more photos and videos if y'all are interested! It has a WiFi antenna, built in speakers with powered amp for volume control(the blue led is the soundboard/volume nob), extra fan, leds, also the monitor and Xbox is wired to the iMac power switch for central on/off capability, dvd drive delete and 500 gb hard drive. Disregard the blue led. Its the soundboard/amp I used for controlling the internal speaker volume, it has a blue led. I need to desolder it. Will do this weekend. I wanted it to be able to just plug in power and a controller and you're good to go. I've succeeded! https://i.redd.it/p1kvq83u61e21.jpg https://i.redd.it/j2l9083u61e21.jpg [link] [comments]  |

| Dear Apple, Thanks for the Mac Mini Posted: 02 Feb 2019 12:28 AM PST TLDR; The 2017 macbook pro was a hardware hell for me and it took out all the joy out of using a mac. Finally switched to a mac mini and this device is a pure joy to use and I love it. I have been a mac user for quite sometime now and i love macos. Being a developer it gives me the best balance between linux (has everything a developer needs, but often lacks quality apps) and windows (well i honestly cant code here, but the app selection is huge). I was so much in love with macos that honestly i would have given up any of my other devices before I would give up my mac. But the 2017 Macbook Pro honestly pushed me to the limit of frustration and inconvenience. I was so fucking frustrated with that hardware that it took out almost all the joy of using macos. I mean you way up one day, go to a meeting and you find that the backspace key is stuck, or the space bar or any of the other keys. Then the next week is about finding time to go to an apple store, waiting in line if there are no appointments, then spending the next 4-7 days unable to do much work (while the mac is being repaired). It was not just the keyboard, the screen broke, the trackpad broke. Then the issue of the 13 inch models not having enough power for work (I know the 2018's are way better). Anyway finally i reached a point where I decided to give up on the macbook and get a linux laptop. And then apple released the mac mini. Overall, I was never comfortable with switching from a laptop to desktop setup. And the iMacs never appealed to me because I dont need a 5K monitor, or a 4K one. I dont play games, watch netflix exclusively on the ipad and I just need two 27 inch 1080p monitors to read web pages and my code. Which also means that I dont need a GPU at all. Even now i cant even fully utilize my internal graphics. So the mac mini was like a device that was designed for me. Lol. So i decided to shift to a desktop setup to see how it would go. So I sold my macbook, bought a 6 core mac mini with 8GB RAM and then upgraded it to 32GB using third party ram (overall the money i got from selling the macbook pro more than covered the cost of the mac mini). Since then it has been amazing. I need as much single threaded performance as possible as im mostly compiling code and running scripts that process huge amounts of data using a single thread or something like that. And the mac mini has good single threaded performance compared to laptops. And because of its larger body and the low temperature at work (we have servers with 4-8 GPUs in the same room) the mac mini is able to maintain its turbo speeds for a long time for me (even the 2018 macbook pro cannot do that here as the body is too small). So after a long time Im happy with my mac again and it feels so good. I dont generally make long posts anywhere but i love this thing so much that I felt like I had to do this. Finally for travel, i bought the new 13 inch ipad pro. I got to say, having to use the ipad is the only frustrating part of this equation. I use the ipad to check things over ssh, make presentations, take notes and write documentation in latex (this is somewhere the ipad pro is able to show its power). Its useless for any other real work (from my perspective). But hey at least it does not have to be repaired every 3 months. And overall the joy that the mac mini gives me more than makes up for the disappointments from the ipad pro. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Feb 2019 04:00 PM PST Read this article that Nintendo's Mario Kart Tour game coming to iOS was due to be released by the end of March this year, has been delayed until this summer: https://www.macrumors.com/2019/01/31/nintendo-delays-mario-kart-tour-for-mobile/ Part of me can't help but think this may have something to do with Apple's upcoming iOS game subscription service? Maybe it will be a key app launching on the platform. Perhaps we will hear about this being announced at an event in March, and released as an iOS 12 update during WWDC. Or even announced and released at WWDC. [link] [comments]  |

| Anyone else noticing they're having to enter their password more frequently to unlock their iPhone? Posted: 01 Feb 2019 09:05 AM PST It's been happening multiple times a day where my iPhone disables Face ID and requests I enter my password. I don't know if this is something Apple did where they increased the frequency of this request as an added security measure or if it's a bug - but it's really annoying. I feel like it might have something to do with Face ID repeatedly not being able to recognize my face while it's on my desk at an angle, but it didn't happen with my iPhone X last year.

| Apple Pencil 2 leaving scratches on iPad Pro Posted: 01 Feb 2019 06:51 PM PST https://i.redd.it/tc0arrvek2e21.jpg For the past couple of weeks, my Apple Pencil 2 has been running out of battery faster than expected. There have been a couple of times when I accidentally knocked the pencil off the side, and when it was reattached, the battery indicator displayed 60-70%. I hadn't thought much of it until I noticed a scratch along the charging side of the iPad. When I investigated, the pencil itself seemed to have an exposed metal contact that had pushed through the plastic casing. When I look online, most of the concerns are about the nib scratching the screen, so I thought I'd post this here. If anyone else is noticing similar battery life quirks with their Apple Pencil 2, I'd encourage you to check the flat side for exposed metal. Hopefully you catch it before it scratches your iPad, but I'm sure you'll have no issues getting a replacement if it's too late. [link] [comments]  |
