I just found this old girl while cleaning out my old desk. Hunted the house for an old connector to plug it in. I can't believe it turned on! I also can't believe how small it is compared to my iPhone 17 Pro Max. I remember getting this in 2007 and the screen felt so big at the time.
Me, also realizing this phone is almost 20 years old.
I saw this for sale on Etsy and I couldn’t resist attempting to make it myself. Found a high quality image, printed on some cardstock I had laying around, put it in an old photo frame. It gives me a laugh every time i look over at it.
tl;dr: Scored a M4 Max Mac Studio on Facebook Marketplace, plan to use 2019 Intel Mac Pro as Virtual Machine, Storage box, and Content Cache. Daily driving the Mac Studio now.
Ive been using an 2019 Intel Mac Pro for the past year and it's been great. It's of course no Apple Silicon but it handled everything I threw at it without issue. I was pretty bummed when Apple recently announced the end of Intel support. Knew it was coming but I know I can get more years out of this Mac Pro.
I've been on the hunt for an M4 Max Mac Studio and I didn't want to wait weeks from Apple. Took a risk today but it thankfully paid off. Was able to score an Unopened Apple Refurbished base M4 Mac Studio for $2200 off Facebook Marketplace!
I paid a higher price but this was the first M4 Studio I've seen in my area. We met up at the police station, The Mac Studio was indeed unopened, seller arrived with original purchase receipt and all serial numbers matched when I opened at the police station.
I was still nervous that I would arrive home, plug her in, and be greeted with Activation Lock or MDM. Thankfully everything worked out. Writing this on the studio now! I was even able to add it to my AppleCare One so she's protected now!
I now plan on using the 2019 Intel Mac Pro as a Content Cache, storage box, and Virtual Machines since I can still run x86. Already set up a Time Machine drive for my M3 MBP to backup to!
Here's the specs of both machines below:
2019 Intel Mac Pro
2025 Mac Studio
What is the source of truth for iCloud? is it iPhone, iCloud.com, Mac?
Example:
When I delete a folder from the Mail app on my Mac, the folder will reappear after some time. If I login to iCloud.com Mail, delete the folder, it remains deleted.
or
I use rules a ton in the Mac Mail app, but when I login to iCloud.com mail I don't see any of my rules listed.
Should I be making rules and changes via iCloud.com, and then it will properly sync across all my apple devices? Do the rules I have created apply to my iCloud mail, or does the rules created in iCloud.com override what I have on the Mac Mail app?
I've also noticed there are times when my rules randomly stop applying, or they're all disabled in the Mail app and I will have to re-enable them. Should I recreate all my rules in iCloud.com Mail?
Thanks for any help!
