From near bankruptcy in the 90's to most valuable company in the world at over $1 trillion $$.
All time high in $300's (split adjusted)
- Marketcap $1.33 Trillion. Maybe first to get to $2 Trillion too.NBQ00
- if it hadn't split 7:1 a few years ago, it would be $2,100 a share I think, whoahmonospaced
- This is gonna handle a significant portion of my home down payment ... thanks Apple!monospaced
- ^ that's rad. how far back did you invest?inteliboy
- I got a bunch about 12 years ago when they released the iPhone. Lots of people said it would flop. It was about $20 a share then (adjusted). Earned about $20k.monospaced
- damn. well done. jealous!inteliboy
- Thanks, but it's just one of the big no-brainers in my opinion. My healthcare investments did almost as well, as did everyone else's.monospaced
- If I had just bought the FANG (Facebook, Apple, Netflix & Google), I'd be rich. We all are jealous of something :)monospaced

In case anyone is still having issues with the "play" keyboard button playing youtube tabbed videos instead of spotify (or whatever you're using for your music) you can disable chrome's playback entirely by navigating to here:
chrome://flags/#hardware-media-k...This will give you the option to disable hardware key playback completely, it's not a perfect solution but I find it a hell of a lot less annoying to deal with.

This is why Apple is starting to switch its Mac‘s to their ARM based AX CPU‘s this year and next years.
A14 chip could make the iPhone 12 as powerful as the 15-inch MacBook Pro: https://ww.9to5mac.com/2020/01/1…
- Phones are already too powerful for what we do with them... its just selling punch lines.. in the end, we scroll instagram and facebook with 18Gb of RAM ...Bennn
- Signs your getting old, BennnNBQ00
- Bennnnn. iOS is arguably the biggest gaming platform around. People use them as primary entertainment devices and more and more work too. No it’s not just web.monospaced

Check out the free Apple computer I scored yesterday:
Macintosh Plus
I powered it up and it works perfectly. Now all I need is a mouse, keyboard, and a copy of MacDraw and I'll be on my way to an exciting career as a graphic designer in 1987. :P
- That looks like it's in really good condition.
For free too? I'm a bit envious.Nairn - It probably works better than their latest model.utopian
- haha totally free. Neighbor was about to toss it and I asked her if she was sure. I mean, it's a piece of computing history.GM278
- I power mine up every now and then. Fun timeGnash
- I'm going to set it up at the office for the designers to mess around with. I need to get a copy of the original Oregon Trail. :PGM278
- a keeper.umbee54
- Its like playing old Nintendo games, after 5 min you're going "well. its boring af"Bennn
- the plastic looks like it hasn't seen light, it's pristine!monospaced
- Somewhere I hear a SO saying "What have you dragged home this time?"garbage
- do some design work on it and post back on here!Krassy
- @garbage hahaha you'd be as surprised as I was to hear my GF was stoked and wants me to source a KidPix disk for her.GM278
- add a 4K display and report here :)api
- In a studio I used to work, a guy made one of these into a mini beer fridge (although it never seemed to get real cold)********

- I learnt Aldus PageMaker on this. I was the coolest Desktop Publisher in my neighbourhood. TBH, it actually IS what set me on my path into print design.Luda
- haha... you just as bad as me at hoarding!necromation
- I'd pay some good money for 20 minutes of Mac Paint on that thing.nocomply
- I have my Macintosh LC II from 1995 in the loft. Thought it might be cool to use one day or valuable. It's neither. Haven't touched in 25yrs. Except when movingHayzilla
- I also have a Performa 5320 from 1996 in the loft.Hayzilla
- Show us photos of this loft you speak of.CyBrainX

I've just got an iPhone X. (Fancy ain't I).
Can anyone recommend a wireless charge pad? I see hundreds available ranging from £5 - £40. And 7w-15w.
I just want a bedside one for overnight charging. Anyone got a good one at a good price?
- I saw an ad for one with tons of charging coils inside so you can position the phone wherever. Look for that feature.monospaced
- ^ Thanks what is that feature called? Tons of coils? LOLHayzilla
- Dunnomonospaced
- Are you laughing at me??? It’s he coil count is the primary spec for these.
https://www.makezens…monospaced - higher wattage, faster charge. If it’s for overnight then it doesn’t really matter.
Although I’m told that overnight charging isn’t great for the batteryGnash - I stopped charging overnightGnash
- I’ve used a wireless charger with my iPhone 8 for a couple years now. It’s so damn slow it almost seems pointless.monospaced
- ^ same. I thought they’d be quicker. But it’s good to have by the desk, one less cable getting in the wayGnash
- I do use one at work because it keeps my phone propped up and charging without any cable.monospaced
- If it’s just for overnight, ikea has a couple that are cheap and okay. 5w only though, so sloooow.ben_

- I've seen folks with "trash cans" in forums comment that they're not selling theirs anytime soon, even if replacing. So his comment on that is kinda weak.evilpeacock

Woke up my Mac this morning to the Catalina Green Screen of Death.
- i_monk-1
Since upgrading to Catalina, Time Machine gets stuck "preparing to backup" and then never backs up, and whenever I try installing anything Finder gets stuck on "preparing to copy" and I have to restart to get it to work.
- inteliboy0
smashed my phone. first time :(
Should I go to the Apple store, or do it on the cheap? Voids warranty, though can they even tell?? Google search brings up all sorts of answers, though seems majority say apple store is the way to go...
- They can tell, but chances are you won’t need the warranty anyway.monospaced
- shit ok. might do it the legit way. warranty has saved and replaced as-new multiple times over the years - still on the 7, still runs A+.inteliboy
- i_monk-1
Oh, and if I go to Restart through the menu it never gets past ~5% on the loading screen and I have to do a hard reset.
- You might have a legit hardware issue.monospaced
- Hardware hasn't changed, just Catalina.i_monk
- I understand, but what you're describing sounds more than just software. Have you considered a clean install vs upgrade?monospaced
- Need Time Machine to work reliably before I consider that.i_monk
- no, you don'tmonospaced
- In a perfect world where nothing could go wrong, I wouldn't.i_monk
- just back up your files and do a clean install. Then retrieve files. You don’t need time machine unless you want to guarantee the problem persists.monospaced
- Time machine even backs up glitches and system settings. That’s it’s fault. So when you have issues like this it makes sense to try a clean install.monospaced
- Obv I wouldn't restore system settings unless the install was a total failure, but I can't even get it to back up my other files atm.i_monk
- When I get some time I'll just wipe that drive and backup manually and hope for the best.i_monk

Who sits this close to their screen? And think of the ergonomics—monitor stands were created for a reason.
- only if the keyboard is detachable. That's way too close to the monitor.dbloc
- * just saw what you wrote under it : )dbloc
- Thank god this isn’t an Apple design. It’s just shit fan art based on a purposefully ugly patent application. It’s not Apple design ffs.monospaced
- Someone at Apple thought this was an idea worth patenting.i_monk
- 'Purposefully ugly' is a fanboy interpretation of their intent.i_monk
- People use laptops with keyboards that close though right?Hayzilla
- People with 27” laptops?deadsperm
- Purposefully ugly is a way to submit a patent without giving away any real design hints, actually.monospaced
- https://cdn.vox-cdn.…monospaced
- The ONLY thing that's a fanboy interpretation is this horribly weird rendering you posted.monospaced
- https://pdfaiw.uspto…i_monk
- Don't just look at the diagram, read the description above it.i_monk
- Oh please. The language is intentionally vague. They speak of "portions" and use words like "may." The patent is for the integratoin, not the final form factormonospaced
- IF you really believe apple is that out of touch with design, then sure, go ahead and believe (falsely) that this is a design patent. It's not.monospaced
- Apple has never, in their history, revealed an actual design before intended. They NEVer would in a public patent. These aren't product pipeline docs ffsmonospaced
- "IF you really believe apple is that out of touch with design"—the puck mouse, Magic Mouse 2, multipart headphone adapters, those early iMac clunky keyboards,i_monk
- Apple Pencil, the iPhone 4's antenna locations, and I'm sure more I haven't even heard of.i_monk
- Now try drawing what this patent describes, at iMac/desktop proportions, in a way that looks nothing like the render above.i_monk
- Because unlike other patents, this one isn't for the technology but the form itself: a continuous curving glass housing.i_monk
- does it come with a cheese grater?utopian
- One advantage of this is you could more easily fit a Wacom in front of your setup.CyBrainX

I'd loooove a 17" Macbook Air.
- Nothing wrong with a 15'' but as thin as the previous MacBooks that got discontinued. And with Apple A14 ARM Cpu's.NBQ00
- I just want a laptop that will allow all applications to run 1/2 screen horizontally. iTunes / Music is one that extends and their is no way around it. :(ideaist
- They JUST released a 16" which is basically their best laptop at the moment.monospaced
- ^ Had it occurred to you that I didn't want to pay for an 8‑core i9 machine? But would rather save nearly TWO THOUSAND POUNDS on a lower spec version?Hayzilla
- Calm down. I thought it was about size.monospaced
- I think I was rather calm dude. It was about size. But want it as an Air so I'm not paying for processing power and disk space I'm not going to need.Hayzilla
- The all caps and insisting I should read your mind made you seem anything but calm. Seriously. relax.monospaced
- All the stuff it’s REALLY about you didn’t mention in your post.monospaced
- They being said I 100% understand and would never have suggested that computer had I known what you were thinking. Cheers!monospaced

Finally got the new box delivered today:
This is going to take my powerpoints to the next level.
- nice cheese graterutopian
- Can I borrow it?grafician
- Phenomenal computing power... but what’s with the monitor? That’s next right?brandonp
- Looks good! Shame they don't make normal priced apple displays with glass panels anymore.mekk
- whats that small toilet brush near the mousedrgs
- ^ Looks like a tablet pen in a holder.Hayzilla
- Very nice. You aren't going to keep it on TOP of the desk though right?Hayzilla
- Nice********
- lolz at small toilet brush holder :)pedromendez
- it's not a toilet brush, it's a hemispherical wiper to get dust out of the cheese grater's holesNairn
- Hides his pens because Brenda always steals themmisterhow
- No money in the budget for pens for the rest of the year after buying that thing.Nairn
- The only thing the IT guy said to me was do not put that thing on the floor LOL.zarkonite
- ... and yes, that's the iBrush for the grater holes. We went for that instead of their monitor, figured it was more useful.zarkonite
- Why not put it on the floor?CyBrainX
- I think he's afraid of static, doesn't make sense to me. I'll get a piece of mylar or something to rest it on.zarkonite
- I think mylar would just make static worse, eh?Nairn
- LOL, I don't actually know what mylar is! I ended up cutting a presentation board and putting it on the ground.zarkonite
- I just googled it and mylar is what they use for static proof bags, I guess it attracts the static and prevents it from travelling into the electronics?zarkonite
- It's a great insulator, but you want to ground something you don't want building static up :)Nairn
- This computer seems above your pay grade ;-)Hayzilla

Apple Bans Bad Guys From Using iPhones in Movies, Says Knives Out Director
- I watched that last night. Enjoyed it.Gnash
- Arrogant Fucktards Appleutopian
- Arrogant to preserve brand appearances?monospaced
- M&M’s fucked up with ET
Big booboo
https://www.snopes.c…Gnash - Yeah, pretty arrogant. Makes the hero look like an entitled punk if he's the only one using one.formed
- This only applies to media that Apple supports - if you want to cast FuturePaedoHitler using an iPhone, you're going to have to buy it yourselfNairn
- Which, y'know, seems fair enough. It's like car manufacturers sponsoring movies and not wanting their vehicles getting smashed to shitNairn
- Exactly. And any company that values a product's brand does exactly the same thing. Want to license a phone for a movie? Gotta make a deal for it.monospaced
- Apple can do what they want, BUT, this is going to spoil so many endings. Now we know who the bad guy will be (or won’t be, in this case).Gnash
- This is like black hats / white hats in old westernsGnash

This is the problem I was having with Catalina unable to reset or shutdown; had to reset the System Management Controller:
- That’s not too bad. An SMC restart. That’s what you do first since it addresses some hardware issues (as noted)monospaced
- Nm, it didn't fix anything.i_monk
- Damnmonospaced
- https://support.appl…
May as well try this one, tooGnash - zap the PRAM!ok_not_ok
- Tried that already.i_monk
- I'll be trying the Apple Hardware Test when I get a chance.i_monk
- DiskUtil also found problems with disk image snapshots, not sure if that's related to this.i_monk
- Is this still the time-machine issue?Gnash
- I'm not sure if there are two problems or if they're connected somehow.i_monk
- Apple Hardware Test failed to run. This just gets better and better. But on the plus side, I've managed to get Time Machine to do a backup. Somehow.i_monk
- Try running disk utility and AHT while in safe mode, if you haven’t alreadyGnash
- Then I’d look at the extensions folder, As well as rebuilding the finder.
Check out #2 and #9
https://macpaw.com/m…Gnash - TM has been stuck Preparing since 3AM, but did backup twice yesterday. How random.i_monk
- I'm going to finish this freelance job before digging any deeper into this (full reinstall).i_monk
