Kev has his Mac mini from who knows when. 2012? 2010? I have my mid 2012 MBP. We have a Linux machine too. Kev might try to build a hackintosh but I don't have faith that hackintoshes work since the last one I built was an utter failure. We desperately need new computers but this is ridiculous.
Mid-2012 MBP here, reporting in from San Francisco. You guys wanna hang out? I'm here until Friday afternoon for AGU. edit: randomuser
Were in Los Angeles. So if you're end up heading south definitely.
Aw man! I met up with 'bl00 a few months ago down there, I thought you guys lived up here in SF. Mah bad. I'll bother you next time I'm in LA, probably a couple years from now, but it'll fly by. With any luck I'll have more time to contribute around Hubsk in the interim.
The 2011 Mac Mini is an awesome little box. When the 2014 one came out they briefly went over new price on eBay because the specs on the 2014 mac mini were so underwhelming. But I think they're assed out of OS after this one. I ran a Hackintosh for a while. I wasn't happy with the fact that you're basically preserved in amber until the hack community catches up with the software updates, and they may not be using your sound card or motherboard or whatever. I mean it was fun'an'all but what I needed it to do? You can do it on one of these for $80: What do you have in the land of Mac that doesn't exist in the land of Windows? I'll miss Logic when my Mac Pro gives up but Avid hasn't been supporting Logic on the HD Native card for three years now anyway. Pretty much everything else I need is cross-platform at this point. Know what's decadent? buying a phat M.2 and triple-partitioning it production/testing/gaming. And spending 1/4th as much on the whole rig while you're at it.
