By this point this iMac had seen many iterations of items used as a computer case for one length of time or another: a wooden board, a shelf, and then a drawer from a tossed out table. Why not a proper open air style case? There’s nothing particular which makes this case more […]

The iPhone X is a testament to device longevity, and durability. I gave mine to a family member when upgrading to an Xs Max in Late 2018, who held onto it all these years through a few different protective cases. Today I got it back where it’ll remain in my collection, after they upgraded to […]

There’s the brand-new MacBook Neo, there’s the M1 MacBook Pro, the M1 MacBook Air.. and then there are the M2 MacBook Airs. While they may stand apart in shape, size and even age, what they mostly have in common in Mid-2026 is their value to performance. Today we’re taking a look at a Mid-2023 15-Inch […]

While the project started back in February and was attempted to be finished then, it has finally been done in its first iteration. This means mostly every navigation page (including everything on the navigation bar, tech specs, software index, etc;) can be displayed from bezel to shining bezel, without pinching to zoom.

Whether you’re dropping an OWC Mercury Accelsior AHCI into an old Mac Pro, are replacing a 2.5″ SATA HDD with an SSD, or deal with mostly any Mac made after 2012, Solid State Drives have become the predominant choice as the primary boot drive in nearly every modern computer. Flash storage has been used for […]
