The 128gb ssd’s are typically slower than the 256gb and larger. Im gonna order. 512 kodak today. Great video

I went to the Apple Store and they told me it couldn’t be done in a recent iMac, but I tried your method and it worked 🎉 🙌 thanks a lot!!!

This is a great video! Yes, you should update to the latest update you can but theoretically as long as you're not stupid and follow the advice in this video, you will be fine (people will hate me for saying that). I am very guilty of running older software. For example, my iPhone 13 Pro which I daily is still running iOS 15.7 from 2022. People tell me I need to update but it still works fine and I have not had any issues. Now apps are starting to not be supported but most apps I need work. Now if I were a celebrity and people were after me then I would definitely update. But I'm just a nobody so I'm not too worried. My home file and time machine server which is only accessible inside my network runs OS X Yosemite on a 2010 Mac mini. Now obviously if I was going to make it accessible online I might update it to High Sierra but I'm not too concerned. As for my secondary 2014 macbook air, I run the sonoma patcher. However, the patcher isn't completely secure as you have to run with system integrity protection disabled (the only issue I've seen this causing is certain apps like those annoying proctoring apps schools make you install require it and don't work). However, as long as you're not stupid you are totally fine. So overall, it's about following some simple guidelines and not being stupid. As long as you're not a celebrity people are after and are not being stupid, you are honestly fine running old software. However, you should stay up to date if you can.

Do i have to back up the data first before I format the external hard drive?

humble and honest review, exactly what I was looking for, thank for making this videos!

I lost my mint condition refurbished 2016 iPhone SE in the beginning of April. I loved that phone, because it was so small, and still getting updates from Apple. Anyway, I bought a refurbished mint condition iPhone 13 Mini for 450€, and love it. It´s slightly larger, bzt still very small, and the battery life lasts me 24-28 hours. :) Very happy!!! :)

Can you upgrade iMac 2017 to 5k screen and what upgrades would I need to enhance my KZfaq editing

20:43 tuning in from Singapore. That building does look unique, but we've got something similar over here-the Apple Marina Bay Sands. It's this futuristic, spherical structure that seems to float on the water, offering 360-degree views of the skyline. Its all-glass design reflects the cityscape, making it blend seamlessly with its surroundings during the day and glow like a lantern at night. Truly a standout piece of architecture in our city!

Stress meter? First it's Microsloth spying on everything you do and now Apple is wanting to spy on your behavior? Do I really need to ditch everything and go Linux? I hope not.

Hi, How to do incremental backup using Automator (to do continues backup for modified files), is that possible?

thanks for sharing the datacenter experience knowledge :)

T-Mobile has bought or is also buying Mint Mobile

The screen that you are showing on screen says 13inch Mac for $1399. I heard you say 15inch for $1399. What am I missing?

If the put the tandem OLED in the new macbook I would buy immediately

Ho comprato una di queste da 1tb gran bella chiavetta. Dopo un anno ha smesso di funzionare con 600gb di dati dentro senza dare avvisaglie, dati irrecuperabili (me ne servirebbe una piccola parte). La parte usb funziona ma la parte sata ssd no. Ho chiesto supporto alla SSK, non mi hanno mai risposto. Comprate altro più affidabile tipo Adata o Kingstone almeno si faranno vivi col supporto. Secondo consiglio, comprate un disco affidabile e una enclosure con adattatore, almeno dovreste riuscire ad avere meno possibilità di rotture e più possibilità di riparazione non essendoci componenti saldate.

One perk of Apple Silicon is once you updated to 14.5 I think it was, you get a patch that does security updates even if you can’t update macOS any longer (so they say). That’s great for me cause I have kept my last 3 laptops 7-10 years each. I’ve been having some software issues but not entirely sure that’s Apples fault. With all that said though, I don’t think I’d use any computer that doesn’t have OEM security updates. Just to risky.. someone changes my passwords or gets a bank account and you’re screwed. I don’t have extra money for that big a hit. Ends up being cheaper to own a system that’s current w security updates.

I am already going to buy the iMac 27 inch

Good review! I'm wondering if you could also review on OWC's ministack STX as well? I've been debating about purchasing that because it got both HDD bay and NVME slot and expansion of Thudnerbolt 4 (three TB4 ports) in one device.

Don’t forget Apple has always created, designed, sourced the materials, calibrated and optimized all their displays. The phones should basically be identical when Apple is dealing with a high level manufacturer. They do not pay any company licensing fees for display technology, Apple pays for the company’s manufacturing component, the actual building of the display. Apple does not manufacture any product. Most American companies do not. I think that’s a bad idea but china won that cheap labor argument decades ago.

I grew up in Hawaii, near that beach (Kailua). Very familiar to me and know Buzz’s well. Brought back memories.

ApplePay is just as secure, perhaps more secure, than using a credit card. First you have to swipe your phone at the payment terminal. The phone then asks you to double click the side button and you have to hold it up to your face to be recognised before you scan it at the terminal a second time. I guess if someone held a gun to your head they’d get your money, but people don’t carry guns where I live. If you’re really worried, just use a debit card with a low withdrawal limit for ApplePay purchases and leave your credit card in a safe place at home where it’s less likely to be scanned or stolen.

I was just an ipad / iphone user. In the last two months went hard core. Ipad air gen 4 trade for ipad pro M2. A macbook air m2. Watch series 4 to an ultra 2. iphone 13 to iphone 15. Blue iMac. Airpods pro 2nd gen. I have a question about the mac on your desk. I thought it was a studio display because of the base. but you mentioned iMac. If so, what is at the base of the iMac? Is that a hard drive or a dock?

I can’t remember which iPhone it was but we made a big deal about the Apple logo shifting down to basically dead center vs it originally being like 2/3rds up 😂

I’ve been playing job simulator for 50 years! 🤣 We called it work.

It's a bad news, it means that Apple can't deliver own version of AI tools. Yes, developing AI stuff isn't easy, but when Apple was scared by difficulties and challenges? Apple, think different and do not go through common way!

All of these companies will have you sign away on AI scraping your data in order to have an account.

12:02 I permanently deleted my Facebook account five years ago and haven't missed it or felt the urge to reinstall. Definitely no Instagram or TikTok for me either; it's nice to be free from the endless scrolling and social media rat race. KZfaq's been great though, especially informative channels like yours. Oh, the KZfaq premium fo sho to eliminate all nonsense advertisements popping up 😂

CN- ✌🏾

15:50 apple’s trade in & resale value is second to none.

My iphone 13 PM still works like its brand new so Im sticking with it until 17 PM easily. My secondary iphone XS Max finally got a little glitchy with the keyboard. Got it used on ebay. So broke out my iphone 8 s plus and popped the SIM card in. original battery still at 90% and the phone work amazingly still. FYI cause im a nerd the past few years Apple was sending out security updates for older iphones. Finally stopped a bit ago but my 6 S Plus was getting special little security updates a year ago. My 8 s plus finally stopped getting any in 2023. I got it in 2017-2018. great video bro

I said the samething about Grand Theft Auto Role Play that is so hot right now. They will work in the game but not in real life

That renewed Mac mini is a great deal for folks that want to get into the Apple ecosystem. 8GB of memory is a hot topic at the moment but I don't think it will be an issue for the non-techie user.

My M1 MacBook Air was such a step up from my Intel iMac that to this day I haven't felt any need to upgrade. Its 16gb with a 1tb drive so I didn't skimp on that... its as fast as can be

When the day comes that I can no longer upgrade any of my old intel Mac I'll turn it into a Linux box

I am starting my PhD, and most of my usage entails downloading and reading articles/books, writing essays, research papers etc and browsing the internet. M1 Should be a good choice right? It fits perfectly in my budget.

very nice review, thx. i m thinking to buy 3 of them for my music studio and connect them to a mac studio m2 ultra.

Great video with informed, intelligent analysis! I love how you advocate for older Macs. I now want to buy an old machine and tinker with OpenCore again, even though I have an M1 Air. Thanks again!

Hey, is the number of charge cycles 45, battery health 66%, and full charge capacity 8220mAh is this bad for a 2015 Macbook Pro 15 inch?

Nothing creepy about it. The Mac has been doing it with Time Machine for a while. It’s a thing you can decide to turn on or off. Same way you can decide to turn off your computer and not use it and rather use pen and paper.

I use the one from Orico , it has builtin fan , SSD never overheats . I get consistent 3500MB read write with WD SN580

El problema es que te compras un disco duro de 1000 pesos y una extension con conectores de 400 pesos y te sale 1400 y si compras este producto te sale en 4 pesos y hacen el mismo servicio

Over the years, at work and at home, I've owned a 2009 24", a 2013 27", a 2017 27", 2019 27", and now a 2020 27", and the 2017 still is totally usable for everyday things like web-browsing, watching video, and Office work. I did have to start running it off an SSD because the Fusion drive was failing (those things were dogs). The 2017 had Thunderbolt 3, BTW.

I still use mavericks for music production. It works great.

Do you use chrome? that basically does the same thing for google. The recall feature is on device. Do I believe them? No

This is why everyone is moving to Linux. Linux golden age is coming. Soon, Microbloat will go bankrupt and Linux will filled the void left by Microbloat’s demise.

Install Linux.

Bought today, only problem I found is we can see pixels clearly.

What's with lack of security updates? The ADVANTAGE of using a newer unsupported OS is that I still HAVE security updates. If I were still using Mojave, I would have no security updates.

I guess Apple screening all photos on your iPhone is not creepy? 🤷🏼 Btw. Apple collecting “device analytics” without users consent and selling it to the highest bidder is not creepy either 🤷🏼
