    Simple iMac G4 monitor build

    This is a re-post from Reddit, as I didn't like using their forum options (plus, I just wanted a good excuse to this this screen for a bit)... Anyone else think that the iMac G4 was the best looking desktop of all time? My iMac G4 20-in's PSU went about 2 years ago, just after I installed an...

    iPhone 5 or earlier Apple says don’t use iPhone after 7 years.

    iPhone Fire What surprises me here was Apple’s response to not use iPhones after 7 years. I know many people who use older phones, do they all risk fire? BTW - the phone was being charged with the original Apple charger.

    For a little while, I’ve been working on a project over on the PowerPC Macs forum, collecting serial prefixes on Apple gear going back to at least 1983 and making a list of where Apple hardware components were assembled. I’ve been doing so mostly to have as many known Apple assembly...

    2001 PowerBook G4 Titanium vs 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max

    I recently found my old TiBook while at my parent's house over the holidays and thought I'd grab some shots of it along side my new M1 Max MacBook Pro.
