Honestly I’d say iPhone SE 1st gen is still useable in 2024. It may not be the best phone to daily drive but I’d say for a very old person this could be great. It still supports phone calls as it has 4G voLTE which the 5s doesn’t have. For young kids this phone would be perfect as games like Roblox even supports iOS 12 and it would save parents a lot of money. These are probably the type of people who don’t care about software updates but has something that just works for their needs.

By gosh, this is video is... perfect! K, I'm sold. I'm gonna buy an A485

Your camera angle reminds me a bit of Louis Rossman

man i love thinkpads

i play games on my t440p upgraded the ram to 16 gb got an m.2 and new ssd now im just waiting on the 1080p matte screen running and i7 definitely holds up on games but not the newest titles 😂 i mainly run stalker anomaly and project zomboid and a little gta v , gta v i run the graphics on low of course but thinkpads are definitely powerhouses for the price mines came with ubuntu but i tried updating it wouldn’t boot up so i just switched my os to windows 10 and luckily i got a retail key of it for 5 bucks definitely worth the money

2:37 my whole room for 0.2 seconds: ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜

Watching this on my Mac Pro 2013 ( trash can ) i7, 16 gb ram, and amd graphic card running Sonoma. Works Normal, not a single issue.

Yes, I’m using iPhone 7 now. Runs fast but battery is obviously in poor condition but as a spare phone, it’s great. I only recently upgraded to iPhone 14 and to be honest, they both serve me the same, apart from shitty battery on the older 7

what desktop environment do you use?

Where do you get this for 50$? Are prices in the US really that low?

uhh is my alienware m15 r6 good enough to play CS2

Wtf?! 🤣🤣

Now will buy this

This need an egpu

How did you unlock the tdp? How do i unlock my tdp in Windows. I was considering using the clover method but it seems risky and Ryzen adj, controller, master do not work for me.

$50 for this beauty?? Did you buy this off a meth junkie? What a steal! I just ordered a touchscreen T480 i5 8th gen with 16gb ram and 512 ssd nvme for ~$350... Hope it's in decent shape when it gets here🤞

Impressive for the price. Great vids so far Mr Jaxon

Question: Can it perform Doom Eternal well?

Hello,Hows the battery life? And how much does it take to fully charge ?

Crazy how you can play gta V normally without hard lag, I played a small low setting game (roblox) it lagged harder than I ever could imagine wasn’t even playable to be honest 😢

a485 is a rubbish laptop, the worst one i have ever owned by far, there is a still unsolved glitch where when you unplug the laptop and replug it, the cpu down clocks to an absurd 2 ghz, this problem can only be solved by restarting the laptop with the power adapter plugged in, another one is the cpu cooler on my unit didnt mount properly to the cpu, there was a .2mm gap at minimum between the die and the chip, so it overheated, this isnt wide spread but the power adapter issue def is, the performance isnt that far off the t480s 8th gen cpu but the graphics are actually just as bad since they throttle very aggressivly even if there is thermal headroom, the cooling issue on my unit was solved by buying a thermal grizzly carbonaut pad, which took my cpu from 99c @2.1ghz and 400cb, to a much better 84c max 600cb score (both r15 benchmark) overall this machine has no reason to exist, 2nd gen ryzen mobile sucks, and the t480 is a far better buy

Pedro pascal if he does understand technology

I still use this phone every day , I replaced the battery myself it wasn’t hard whatsoever this lil guy can do everything I need from it , all my apps require iOS 13 or lower so I’m set lol I don’t need too upgrade if i can be patient and wait a little with the loading times

Still I had one from my uncle and using as secondary and private using with that SE 1st gen. And had a problem with that. I accidently rip off the touch ID cable when restoring to back to condition. Originally this phone is completely damaged (body panel, Display, Wifi antenna) While Repairing, I accidently rip off Touch id cable. The apple says, If you rip off and trying to transplant from another SE or 5s, you dont have the touch ID feature and only have home button feature. like iphone 5 or 5c. How can I crack the and re-Pairing the new touch ID ? I there any way or jailbreak?

At least it has an XLR output (which I like to call "pseudo-pro"). Philips SBC-3020 anyone...? 😂

Idk but fine

You can do similar on Intel based laptops (unsure the tool for Linux), but in Windows you can set the long term PL to something higher than stock, if you have better cooling you might end up throttling due to the VRMs

Those trackpad mods should work, but you may have to mess with device HWID's in the driver INF file when installing it. I had to do something similar to my T480s and used the website driveridentifier to figure out the device ID with some trial and error

The AK47 of Laptop

Family member used one until last month when it was replaced by a refurbished 12 mini. The SE1 works amazingly well for its age, ours had 3 battery replacements keeping it usable. Very little lag and stutter, apps still run good that can be installed. Miles ahead of any android of that age. My nearly brand new condition htc 10 is completely useless, literally cant play a video or open snapchat without stutter and crashing, meanwhile the SE1 still runs snapchat all good. Amazing.

Make sure you use appropriate cooling and UXTU to unlock the tdp. Its possible to get 20-30 fps in baldurs gate 3 720p w/fsr ultra quality. I have an a285 which is effectively an amd x280.

water cooling when

I'd consider doing something like this but also don't want my battery to be nuked in the process, good video

Don’t use the Core 2 Duo ones! The 13inch 2011 models have a huge uplift running Intel second gen core series chips. Even the best core 2 duo chips don’t come close to the midrange i5 chip in the 2011 models.

i briefly switched to one last year and it was a really great experience. i really miss having a small phone like that

i daily the same one as you (just with the original 250GB hard-drive) and i love it! it's running Mavericks and with the help of Chromium Legacy it seems pretty okay still. i edit photos, and once in a while my own videos, type documents, update my tumblr page, and play tons of ripped CDs!!

Lack of latest ios update compatability for 1st gen iphone SE means apps or app updates are starting to be unavailable (Uber as an example), which is a real issue. Frustrating designed-in obsolescence

Bro you’re so handsome ❤

Watching on a 2008 macbook running OCLP and Monterey. Perfectly usable for basic tasks. I mean, basic, like watching this video and typing these words.

I have a late 2010 model. In recent years I replaced the battery, upgraded RAM and storage. Recently installed Linux Mint, and I’m quite happy with it as a daily driver. But I also don’t ask it to do anything that is processor intensive. It runs hotter than it used to, so I’m wondering if some components are wearing out.

In depth video analysis, I like it!

It can’t be that bad running OCLP Monterey on the Macbook Pro 2009..perhaps its runs quite good in it..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You look like Paul McCartney

Back in like 2017 I picked up a 2008 white polycarbonate Macbook for $89. It's got the 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo. I upgraded the Ram to 4GB...technically it can take 6, but the 6GB upgrade kit is around 70 bucks on OWC, so it's not really worth it. At that time I was still able to use Snow Leopard with updated browsers, but support has all but dwindled. Recently I pulled the computer out of storage and installed MX Linux... it's the only distro in which everything works (except the webcam for some reason). I had a hell of a time with the internal wifi card working on just about every distro. I was able to put in an old Kingston SSD I had lying around, and the OS seems to be responding well to a full encrypted install. To deal with the low 4GB of ram, I made a 12GB swap partition. It'll ensure if I start to hit the physical ram ceiling from web browsing, I'm covered with a huge virtual memory buffer. Most websites are actually not bad to use. Even the ones with heavy video on the homepage still run somewhat smoothly, although the fan kicks up to full blast. As for KZbin, better keep it to 360P. Despite sometimes rough video playback, it doesn't stutter, which makes it great for music playback. SuperTuxKart gives a snarky reminder message every time it's launched "Your graphics card is very old" Thanks guys, I appreciate you pointing out my old ass hardware, haahaha Overall it's not a bad machine, I think this extends it's life by at least a few more years before it's really e-waste. These Macbooks were the ones that were around when I was in college, so it's kind of nostalgic in that regard. I never owned one back in college though, as I don't buy new Apple products. But as a computer hobbyist, it's fun to tinker with older hardware all these years later. I can't wait to bring it to Starbucks and have everyone ask if Apple started making plastic computers again, lmao

It’s actually insane how long the unibody MacBooks last. Still thousands of them out there getting daily use.

I wish I had kept the MacBook Pro 13-inch mid-2012 non-Retina and the iMac 21.5-inch late-2009, but I sold them because I had already upgraded to a new Mac. I miss the old Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

watching this on my macbook air 2012 just got it with a new battery and updated it to mac catalina and its pretty usable, tbh for its age i think the speed and software of it is too good to be true

This video is really nice but can you try using 3rd party software to boost the cpu's tdp to 35 watts? I heard lenovo limited the tdp on these ryzens

I have a MacBookPro (late 2008). I installed MacOS Ventura (with Opencore Legacy Patcher) and latest Linux Mint on a second partition. Both work fine for everyday use (i prefer to use Linux Mint as it is lighter than MacOS and supports even the ancient iSight camera)

i got 15 inch macbook pro 2012 for 80 euro and it has 16gb ram 240 gb ssd and 5150 mah battery but the right speaker is broken i can still use it but at the lower volume i was thinking to use it with headphone anyways i think i got lucky because the cheapest 13 inch 2012 is 85 euro only 4 gb ram tho and core i5 that's the only thing i know about that macbook pro i am using mine with opencore with sonoma it's my first time using mac os i like it for now i am using it temporary as my daily driver because it has very good keyboard and it's almost better from my pc the only thing is the gpu that's little worse but i get vulkan tho
