Looks like they turned down Liquid Ass for the second time, boyyos. Looks like regular frosted glass now.

The more I look at liquid glass the busier I think it is aesthetically. This coming from a Windows 7 Aero fan. Maybe with dark mode on it’ll look better but these gradients and such look worse than Vista.

well, it was expected to be tuned-down. more so, i also expect accessibility check-box to turn it off completely and get current ui as is 15.
and, i also expect another layoff of 10k degerates who have fucked up qa of first beta.

Already asked this over in >>>/g/hsg/ but I'll ask here again:

The Mac Mini is available for 555€ right now on Amazon. I might get one and test it out and if I really like it, it might replace my PC which I would turn into a small server.

Now there's a few questions that came up:
>Does MacOS support iSCSI
>Can I still ssh -x into the PC for things like gaming
>Does MacOS do client side scanning
>Is it possible/worth it to retrofit 10G ethernet

>10G eth
you can configure it with 10G port for 100 bucks with apple, or just buy a thunderbolt dock station with 10G port on it.
generally, you do want to pick a dock station, because those not only come with extra ports of all kinds, but they also come with m.2 slot + sd-card slot, which gonna give you plenty of storage expansion combined. don't cheap-out too much on dock station tho, because those can be housefires with random chink garbage

nope, no bullshit like ms recall for activity recording. you also do not have any ads or forced ai bullshit - siri and apple intelligence (built-in chatgpt) can be completely turned off with 2 sliders in settings.
but for legitimate snapshots/backup there is time machine: https://support.apple.com/en-us/104984
i just checked prices on amazon de for 10g~>tb - well, they are gonna offset you by at least 150-200 eur. at this point you might just consider buying it from apple and configuring 10g port, because you will pay same price effectively, unless you are ready to settle with 2.5g or 5g options which are cheaper

I know it's possible to upgrade the nand chips of macbooks, but where can I get it done in Germany and what would it cost me? Theoretically, I don't own a Macbook, but I'm considering buying a maxxed out 14" M4 Pro but the storage prices are insane.

It's not worth maxing out apple laptops due to constant upgrade, you are better off buying cheapest 16 inch MacBook Pro, then sell it 3 years later and buy newer one w hardware update. MacBooks retain value and you can re-sell them easily. Also m5 is coming soon, and m6 will have 2nm chip. Pic, related for storage solution, or even better buy NAS.

Yeah it's not linux, things just work. Also apple has refurbished store with decent discount on their products. Also make sure you actually need MacBook Pro performance for your workload, do you really travel move around a lot, if not just get the cheapest m4 studio, you get more ram in the default config. Also try to find Thunderbolt 5 enclosure for your external SSD, you will utilize full speed of that slot.

eh? I could see the argument for storage if you don't mind the juggling, but it's absolutely worth it for me to get more than 24GB of memory. Besides, I use the thing to make money so the "constant" upgrade of once every 4-5 years (unless I just feel like getting a new thing just cuz) isn't a big deal if it's a few thousand bucks. Either way, absolute base model is ..."not worth it"

Hello friends, I'm in the market for an M2 iPad Pro, I haven't bought a new iPad in YEARS. and have a couple of questions:
1. Is it true that it'd be smarter to get the cheapest storage option and use an external 1TB/2TB SSD instead? How convenient or inconvenient is it? I'll mostly store HDR and regular movies, large image files for drawing reference and my edited videos in there, can apps installed in the iPad even run those files located in the external disc? How do I take advantage of Thunderbolt? I have 0 knowhow of this shit.
2. How's the web browser situation now as of iPadOS15? Can I use a full version of MS Edge already or is it still another mask for Safari? How's the experience while browsing "non meta" websites full of ads, are there built in tools to block all the spamspyware? I spend majority of my time browsing 4chan and shit so I hope the experience isn't trash.
3. For the 12.9" model, can I make do with a bluetooth mechanical keyboard for long essays and the touch screen for more light heared stuff or are those keyboard covers absolutely needed? My use case in order will be: Drawing, taking notes, browsing the web, multimedia and then writing if it's an emergency.
Thanks a lot!

I'm still using the one and only Mac release of Freezer (that Electron pirate Deezer client)
It works on M1

The only problem is, it lacks a dark mode as it was introduced on a later update (which was never released on macos)
Now the thing is, dev settings are enabled and I can see the HTML like I would on a random chrome page (I can literally "inspect elements")

And the code it's full of "theme--light"
If I change it to "dark", it fully converts to a fully functional dark mode
But I have no idea how to save the changes, I know jackshit about electron

I carry 2 laptops (Work/personal) and the combined weight is 8 pounds. I'll sometimes buy some groceries on the way home, and walk legitimately 40 minutes a day some days.

Making 40 minutes with 8 pounds, I'm not going to say it's impossible, I'm definitely going to say it's a burden that literally slows you down. Obviously you can walk faster carrying less weight than you can carrying more weight. If the 14" max had more battery life I would probably buy it instead, the m2 max probably will.

I've heard this "hurrdurr if you strong go to gym carry around a 10 pound laptop is ez sissy man" but this is entirely claimed by people who do not actually carry their laptop any further than between their car and their office.

Thanks, thing is, i mostly edit my simple shit in Luma Fusion on an Air 3, works good enough. And im pretty much using said ipad for everything these days, even shitposting. Youre correct, the file manager is absolute shit but i manage with what i do.
Thing is, if i get an m1 macbook air id probably use it desktop only like my current macbook air and degrade the battery faster. (Which is stupid asking for advice for an m1 ipad air)

I may go for a 16GB Mac Mini. Question is, are they user serviceable at all?

Just replaced myself the battery on my 2017 Macbook air

air m2 faults so far

the m2 architecture is still 5nm (m1) thus just a larger more inefficient version of m1

moreover due to the architecture of the chip and machine, the macbook tends to overheat

the air m2 does not utilize two 128gb ssds in the 256gb version, which means write and read speed are cut in half compared to m1

the "newer" displays of apple all had even more atrocious response times than the ones before them, but further test are needed

there is more, but overall the m2 air is not a straight upgrade to the m1, and considering the drastic price difference in euro land (amazon: m1 8/256 - 900€ versus m2 8/256 - 1499€) it seems more like a bad joke

HDD in my mid 2012 finally died so I have to buy a new macbook since that one probably isn't even worth sticking an SSD into since it's old as fuck and the original battery is at 60%.

Usually I like to get something mid-range so I can just ride it until it dies and I'm not updating every 3 or so years. But I'm torn since apple is making a lot of big updates as of recent.

Should I should buy a base M1 air that's on sale right now for like $800 and resell it in a year or two once warranty runs out or just go all in and get a 14 inch now for $2000?

I mostly just stream videos, shitpost and do some work billing on it. Gaming is pretty casual with just some minecraft, civ, pubg, etc every once in a while.

Please friendly apple fags, I'm new to mac and the scrollwheel feels retarded on my MX master. Google led me to an app called SteerMouse which made things ok-ish but no matter how I fiddle with settings it's just not consistent. Some places the scroll is too quick, on others its too slow. The default setting has an infinitely stupid scroll acceleration.

I bought (and now returned) a 14" m1 mbp. I kept getting headaches, having eye strain, and feeling nauseated when using it. None of the display settings I tried seemed to fix the issue. Did anyone else experience anything like this? I know the display on the m2 air is different so I was considering buying one to see if I still had the issue. Feels pretty bad.

I dropped my iPhone in water a few days ago. When I fished it out, the speakers seemed statically, and I thought it was water damaged. I have AppleCare+ and requested a replacement from Apple. Fast-forward to two days later, the speakers seem to be working properly again. I can't get a hold of Apple to cancel the replacement, and they already put a $700 hold on my card for the replacement device.

When the new phone comes, should I transfer my data to the new phone and then dip my old phone into water to ensure it's water damaged? Should I send the new, unopened device back with a note and hope they don't charge me?

What do?

i switched from android last summer, and it honestly just depends on what you did with your phone
the biggest annoyances are syncing with itunes to transfer music to play on the iOS music app, but everything else works pretty much the same. and you can use a different music player app (like VLC) if you just want to use music downloaded from the internet.
the main reason I switched was because the iphone 13 mini is the only decent small phone on the market, and because i was sick of my android bricking out every couple years. my dad is still using his iphone 7 so i wanted something long lasting as well.
i use windows and mac side by side (windows desktop, mac laptop) and from windows, the biggest annoyance with macos is windows management, but i think theres software that gives you windows like window snapping. maybe someone can give some input here?
anyway the main reasons i switched were because i think apple hardware lasts longer (doesnt get crippling slowdown like my android/windows devices did), the basic hardware is much better (touchpad, speakers, screen) and i like the idea of keeping a device for a long time. my macbook has lasted me 9 years now and hasn't even slowed down a bit.

from a pure usability perspective i prefer windows and android respectively but the other aspects of applel swayed me, at least for portable devices. ill never switch from a windows/linux desktop though.

Could iPad Pro replace/substitute MacBook Air? The newest iPad use M2 chip which confuses me if iPad is still a tablet sized iPhone OR sort of tablet sized MacBook (like those traditional laptops vs. Detachable laptops). Same CPU like MacBook Air but different OS (iOS vs. MacOS).
Still gonna use Windows for main driver though (Windows on ThinkPad X1 Extreme)

Enjoy your 30-40% performance penalty, there’s no way around that since you’re emulating a different architecture.

How does having a locked down bootloader and only being able to install things from the app store sound? So yeah it is a glorified iPad. Save your money and get a Dell XPS and put Fedora on it with Gnome it will be very mac like. And unlike the ARM Macs you can dual boot Windows natively when you need to or use a VM without having shit performance like you will have with the new Macs.

>Based on what?
Apple has always locked things down for ‘security’ that will come to MacOS eventually...gatekeeper already prevents you from running unsigned software by default all they have to do is remove the run anyway option. And with how locked down the hardware will be along with the T2 chip good luck disabling it. Maybe if you pay $99/year for a developer account they might let you run apps from outside of the app store. Enjoy your Apple appliance, it’s so nice having a real computer again after all these years of using Macs.

what's the best way to emulate a PowerPC-era mac? I want to run picrel, but QEMU has shit out on me. The first two volumes are meant for 68K Macs and work fine with Basilisk, but I have particular nostalgia for Blam! 3

No, it's targeted for size, not performance, and it has compatibility issues with GNU libc. Your GPU is irrelevant.

Has anyone packaged yt-dlp on Gentoo (or Arch, etc, so I can see how it's done) with curl-impersonate support?

I'm getting errors downloading but it works with their Github release binaries so I know the issue is that it's detected as a bot when downloading.
