    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.

Suppose that's the game. Anyways, next cheapest...

    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. While internally, the differences are night and day, externally, it's eery how similar they are, especially with the new design's callbacks to...
