You won't like me for saying this, but I'm going to admit to having never done a USB port map!.

My favorite brand of M.2 storage manufacturers are having a bit of a clear out and I spotted this little chestnut. $40 for 1TB SSD, that's a bargain in my eyes, oh!, there's also a $5 Newegg gift card valid for a year, bonus...

If you're a fan of Nintendo Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games, then this is for you. The Epilogue GB Controller is a small piece of plastic you plug the small game cartridge into and play on your Mac, genius. Via iMore https://www.epilogue.co/product/gb-operator

The best looking temp, Herz and power App got an update yesterday. AMD Power Gadget is a resource hungry beast still but at least it's not locking the MHz to stock speeds. I think just sat in the menu bar it's perfect, but as soon as you open those windows resource use goes well up...

Interesting end to 2024 for both Intel and AMD, especially when news like that gets leaked. Intels 15th gen will require a new motherboard, but Ryzen 9000 slots into the existing AM5 platform. https://apple.news/ADirV9b6jTaq5Q0FcarEG9Q

Micro Center just informed me it's World Backup Day on Sunday!, I can't think of a better way to spend my Easter than eating lots of chocolate and backing up my Hacks!... There are some deals to be had though, like this 5TB WD Passport for $119!, ooof...

I missed this, announced last week apparently, Walmart are now selling the M1 MacBook Air for $699. Apple discontinued it on their site but you can now get a new one from Walmart. I think this is deal of year, the M1 Air is an incredible machine, my battery will still go for 5 days!. Not only...

I bought a pair of Pebbles from Micro Center last year, I really enjoy the rich and deep sounds you get from them. They also remind me of the the original Mac Pro speakers, fortunately they’re considerably cheaper!. LINK

As reported by some Tech Press at The Weeknd, prices have dropped on AMD processors!. Here are some of my picks from Newegg, the 5900X looks good at under $300. We also have the new 8000G series in AM5 flavor, the 8600G is tempting. Also new GT variants from 5000 series, which according to AMDs...

I've been reading a lot of opinions from the Tech Press about the Apple Macintosh which celebrated its 40 anniversary this week. Ridley Scott's '1984' Super Bowl commercial introduced the Mac's graphical interface to the masses, a distinct alternative to IBM's lines of code. The Computer History...

I remember this came up recently with another user, but I can't find the thread!. My Ryzen 7 5700X doesn't want to boost past 3.6 Ghz, it seems stuck, I've tried enabling/disabling 4G Encoding and using/not using ncpi=0x3000 boot-arg!. hmm...

What does this mean?. I get a kp just after selecting the disk from OpenCore boot picker.

So we're kind of still waiting for Apple's gaming renaissance to kick off really, I'm sure in the background there are a lot of people on their backsides going blah, blah, blah to each other!. With the unfortunate loss of 6,500 within the game industry this year, now would be a good time for...
