Ellen's Very Southern Voice<p>Y'all, I need help. I can't get my deleted emails off my MacBook Air. I have watched the YouTube videos, gone on all the forums. I've deleted the trash, the archives, the ultimate trash. Waited 48 hours (it's been weeks). My storage setting won't move, and it's all email. Suggestions?</p><p>UPDATE: After a talk with Apple Support, I managed to find thousands of 8 year old emails in my Recovery folder, deleted them, and finally cleared up some storage.</p><p>Tx to all who responded!</p><p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mac</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Macbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Macbook</span></a></p>

@jbqueru Also I hope for #RISCv to be the #ISA of the future for long-term #OpenSourceHardware and support.
#ARM64 - just like #amd64 - is yet another proprietary ISA and almost all devices with it in terms of #Laptops have #AntiRepairDesign like #Apple's #MacBook|s that self-destroy their #SSD|s which also contains it's #EFI / "#BridgeOS", making machines with fried SSDs 'braindead'…
And yes, #RAM to also fails and making it not fully replaceable and upgradeable is inherently bad and I'm still mad at @frameworkcomputer for their botched #FrameworkDesktop #PC!
- Cuz it's neither necessary nor beneficial for a #Desktop PC, unlike with the #Framework12 where the #SoC used only supports single channel and a single SODIMM so it makes sense for them to take that into account.
I really hope Apple offers a feature to limit MacBook charging to 80% in the next version of macOS. It’s done wonders in iOS to keep my battery healthy.

I’m belatedly getting into this geeky stickers on laptops thing - there are some on the outside too, but here’s my attempt at an #ErgonomicKeyboard #KeyboardLayout on my Japanese #MacBook 
I have a 2006 MacBook 1,1 that originally came with OS X 10.4. I'd like to install the original OS on it, however I don't have any of the original CDs.
I've *acquired* (ahem) an ISO of 10.4.5 from archive.org (https://archive.org/search?query=os+x+tiger+intel+10.4.6) and naively dd'ed it to a USB stick. (making sure I got the intel version)
It starts booting but then displays the circle with a diagonal line through it symbol and doesn't go any further.
So, how would I go about restoring this computer to its original OS? It's currently running 10.6.8, and there's no recovery partition on the disk.

#Krunner froze my entire #KDE Plasma desktop just from writing up a 'long', simple math equation while I was calculating some of my expenses lol. My desktop is completely unresponsive now and I couldn't do anything about it, not even Caps Lock on my keyboard respond. All I can see is my applet that monitors RAM usage last reported to be at 97%.
I'm sure about half of it is probably #Firefox, but I'm also certain the rest was caused by Krunner since I wasn't really doing anything else - as much as I love KDE Plasma, time and time again I'm getting closer and closer to upgrading to 64GB of RAM, which sounds hellllla ridiculous for a regular ol' desktop and not a homelab server.
Forreal tho, as much as I despise #macOS, how is it that my #MacBook Air M1 can fly with pretty much the same workflow with just 8GB of RAM and never encounter any types of freezes, at most it just feels sluggish (which is just a regular macOS thing), meanwhile this much more powerful machine with 32GB of RAM just freaking... dies from doing simple math calculations on Spotlight?
MacOS users, this question is for you!
Do you use your personal MacOS device as an admin user, or do you setup a standard user outside of the admin user and then just provide the admin username/password when needed?

…die erste Frage ist, welche Aufgaben und Probleme stellen sich überhaupt, wenn ich auf die Dienste von #Apple, #iOS, #iCloud und #Macbook / #MacOS einmal verzichten werde?
Mal sehen was mir selbst dazu eingefallen ist, worüber ich bereits grüble, und was euch dazu noch einfällt. Bin schon gespannt. Mal sehen wo es dann echt weh tun wird. Und wo es kompliziert wird.

I have a loaner Macbook to aid in troubleshooting some issues one of our fully remote people has been having. He is the only person on the team with a Mac.
Holy shit after not using macOS for a decade I find it nearly unusable now.
For instance by default the only way to view your home folder in finder is through a keyboard shortcut. That’s STUPID.
I just want to figure out this guy’s problems and give this POS right the hell back to IT.
