* IMPORTANT NOTE * At the 10-minute mark in this video, I take a jab at Apple trying to show how they support diversity and inclusion by featuring ONLY female developers in their 2022 Mac Studio video. That's the OPPOSITE of diversity and inclusion, Apple! Some thought I was implying that adding more gender diversity ruined the keynotes. That was not my intended message and that is not what my channel is about, so please don't take it that way. Losing Steve Jobs and forgetting the fun, rebellious soul of Apple ruined the keynotes. The only "drama" I want to stir-up on this channel is with grizzled Windows loyalists trying to propagate the platform wars from the 90's. ... or anyone implying Marathon is a 'Doom-clone'... OK, that's it.

I use a PowerMac G5 ATX-converted case as a TV stand. The TV's base fits *to the millimeter* the Mac's footprint. It's stylish, more stable than anything I could afford now, and I even rescued it from being trashed! Absolute win. EDIT: It was already dead and gutted when I rescued it. Although someone committed crimes against computing, at least I gave it another chance of living. Sad that I couldn't enjoy it.

I love the running theme of Michael Spindler being the constantly referenced, often unseen, villain of your video reviews. There's always at least one jab to him or that era of Apple in your vids. And I think it's cool you're one of the few to recognize how important Gil Amelio was to Apple. He saved the company and brought back Steve Jobs.

@65scribe

16 күн бұрын

Yes, even though I was a fan of Macs in the 90’s, the company itself didn’t interest me and I took Amelio’s ousting as an indication that he failed to turn Apple around. Once I started digging into what actually happened, it became apparent that he was one of the heroes in Apple’s story, completely overshadowed by Steve Jobs manipulation of events. I don’t blame him for writing a book. In the same research I could not find any redemption for Spindler. My impression of him just got worse the more I looked into events. Thanks for your comment!

Really enjoyed this. Thank you. I once owned a 1.6ghz single G5, circa 2008. Used it as a bit of a media center. One day when I came home, approaching the front window I could see the curtains waving wildly inside the house. My now wife and I exchanged glances, no one was home. Went inside to be greeted to the sounds of the fans at full speed. When a G5 crashed or the software locked up, it seems the PMU or whatever lost contact with the rest of the machine after going "hello? Hello??" for awhile, and hearing nothing back from the temp sensors, it would slowly ramp all fans to max. I have two G5's now, I think that's enough. A working dual processor of some sort, and a non working but not leaking water cooled model of some kind. I forget now. Electricity is expensive here. I calculated that running my Xserver 3,1 with all cores maxed costs more per year, than buying an M2 Mac mini at full retail.
