They story I saw said she was able to give them to families & neighbors. They weren't wasted. I would've done the same after eating the first 27 or so.. Cheers!

Perhaps Apple could continue to use Lightening, and include a tiny dongle in the box, Lightening->USB-C (just like when the audio jack disappeared). So for EU-compliance, they can state the Phone+Dongle as "the device that meets the EU requireme…

There's a fun movie-intro with Robert Redford where he's paid to "hack" a bank. He physically breaks in at night, then hacks into the computers, creating fake accounts with $$$ The next morning, in a suit, he goes in as a customer and closes the acc…

Ordered the SE base immediately upon store-opening. Said delivery next Friday, on the 18th. Don't care about 5G. I hope that part doesn't come on. I wouldn't put it past VZW to insist on some upgraded super-plan given that the phone has 5G capa…

The base mac mini with M1 is enough for us. We just need more storage for a large home-photos library. We kept our 2009 iMac for over 10 years until it failed finally. My only worry with an M1 Mini (+16GB & 2TB SSD upgrade) is if 16GB would…

There was a folding phone on display in a big-box store near me. I picked up the folding phone (whatever it was). There was already some screen failure in the fold, in the form of a small pixelated-green region instead of the background white. G…

Thanks to the AI insiders for sharing their personal spaces. To the AI insider with the 1TB external SSD off the Mac Mini: Our Mac life is simple. Web/Mail and a huge photo library, 74,000 phots and counting. When spec-ing mac mini's or iMacs wi…

Desperate for a larger iMac refresh. What does the Armchair-Predictor reveal?

Does AI have any guesses about when a larger ASi iMac might be revealed? More ASi laptops first, then a larger iMac? Larger iMac then more laptops? Mid-Year? Holiday-shopping season? 2022? E.

Any guesses on release-date of a larger one? 27" or 30" or more? This Spring/Summer? Fall? My 27" from 2009 finally died. I took the 2TB-SSD that I had swapped in a few months ago (did I disturb something in there? Thermally-weaken something?)…

I've posted over the years about our 2009 27" iMac with 2TB of 7200rpm storage for $2600. I've watched through the Fusion-drive years, waiting for 2TB of SSD in the 27" for $2600. It happened a year or so ago. This article reminds me it's past 4/…

Have a 27" iMac from 2009 with 2TB of 7200-RPM storage; was $2600. For about a year or so one can get an Intel 27" with 2TB of SSD (no Fusion) for about $2600. Been waiting a long time for 2TB-No-Fusion, but haven't bought yet. When Mx hits the 2…

Hopefully a new M1 iMac will be able to Time-Machine itself from a 2009 iMac running Sierra. I'd be bummed (but would understand) if it can't make such a big jump. The most important thing to us is our enormous Photos Library. I've seen one can …

Java's not that hard. I make some every morning. 4 scoops of grounds in the Hopper, 8-Cups water in the Resevoir. Hit the button. It compiles every time! I usually source the Dunkin Donuts Libraries, and definitely go for Binary output (spouse…

Great machine. Our 2009 with 2TB HD is still hanging on (fine) for our super-basic use-case of lots of home photos. Our 2009 iMac (nearly-maxed) was $2600. I've been watching for years to see when 2TB SSD was near-$2600. The mid-range 27" with 1…

Backstory: I also have an iMac from 2009. Just home use. Int, E-mail, and Photos (66,000 and counting!). I've put SSDs in two old iMacs (20" iMacs from 2008), and an A1283 Mac Mini. All boot in 22 seconds now, and run great, but are stuck at El …

I purchased a 27" iMac the day after they came out in Nov 2009. I didn't know that huge screen was coming and I joke that I almost fainted when it debuted.... It was fairly upgraded, with a 2TB HDD (7200rpm), at $2600. It's still going and we s…

Does this SE have the 2-antenna or the 4-antenna MIMO setup (from the AppleInsider article about the class action lawsuit) ?

A recent AppleInsider story talked about that class-action lawsuit complained about the 2-antenna MIMO on some iPhones being less-good than the 4-antenna MIMO's (

I had a 160GB Classic in Silver, with stainless steel back. $399 I think. I wasn't even a music guy, but lost my mind and HAD TO HAVE IT when it came out. I sealed it up in a silicone-and-then-clear-plastic case and it was totally flawless at all…
