Intel CPU Macs can have a life well extended past their lack of OS X support from Apple. Install Linux, or Windows, or some other Intel compatible OS. I picked up a 2011 Mac Mini with a bad 500 gig hard drive, got a dual hard drive kit and a 2TB drive, put that and another 500 gig drive* I had in it, then made it an Open Media Vault server.
*I pulled it from a laptop a few years ago with a password on it. Finally got around to setting up an old PC with XP and the SATA controller in legacy mode so I could run password removal software. After all that it was one click of a "remove password" button. I'd tried everything I could come up with and got nowhere, figured I must have at least wiped the data on the drive. Nope, it was 100% all there. On Saturday, October 1, 2022 at 10:25:56 PM MDT, Chris Albertson <albertson.ch...@gmail.com> wrote: The Mac has an Ethernet port, does it not? You say it is an older Mac, so it likely does have one. Some of the newer Macs lack the port, and you have to buy a USB-C to Ethernet dongle. If it has the built-in RJ45 jack simply connect it. If not buy the Dongle on Amazon. At some point, you will want to install Linux on the Mac. Running from the USB drive is very slow. It is odd to say the Mac acts like a Raspberry Pi. No. Any computer boots to Linux looks like a Linux PC On Sat, Oct 1, 2022 at 9:03 PM John Dammeyer <jo...@autoartisans.com> wrote: > I used my wife's old laptop now no longer supported by Apple.
