Only do this when your G3 is broken beyond repair!
This particular example shows how to shoe-horn an Apple Silicon based Mac Mini into a the very first incarnation of an iMac: a classic iMac G3 case restoring both plastic, and using 3D printed mounts to ease assembly/disassembly.
Still cool as it is flexible so also allows for other Mac hardware like a Mac Studio.
The screen is a 14 inch 16:10 screen which is very expensive over here:

Likely a 4:3 OLED screen has less visible bezels.

On my research list: running Anrdoid apps on Apple Silicon.
I wonder if using the Anrdoid Emulator from Android Studio the only straightforward option.

Now that I have had an Apple silicon for a while, which has enough cores to perform parallel work, this is how I calculated a bunch of hashed from a lot of large files:
find . -type f | xargs -P 0 -n 1 md5 -rfind . -type f | xargs -P 0 -n 1 shasum --algorithm 1find . -type f | xargs -P 0 -n 1 shasum --algorithm 256
I contemplated about using GNU parallel, but that is not installed by default on MacOS and I was already familiar with xargs.
Argument meanings can be found at these locations:

[Wayback/Archive] How to use two or more monitors to M1, M2 or M3 MacBooks | Macworld will likely hold for M4 based ones as well:
- higher-end MacBooks with M1/M2/M3 Pro and Max chips support multiple external displays
- get around Apple’s annoying M1/M2/M3 Mac single-display limitation via software and adapters
The solutions we explain here will also help M2 Pro and M3 Pro MacBook users extend to three external displays.
Recommended reading, despite the extra hardware and software you will likely need.

I needed this for some Windows ARM VMs on VMware Fusion for running on my M1 MacBook Pro: [Wayback/Archive] oobe\bypassnro removed from Windows 11 24H2 dead/hidden ? – YouTube
In the end this combination works:
- before booting, remove the network adapter (physically, or virtually from VMware Fusion or from Parallels)
- after boot, as soon as the Shift-F10 combination works, run
oobe\bypassnro (or add the registry entry, see below)
After this, Windows detected no network, and offered an install with a local username/password indicating the choice “I don’t have internet”.
If that ever fails in the future, I can use this trick from the comments:

The winter after I bought my first ARM based (or Apple Silicon powered) MacBook I noticed that often about half an hour after sunset, within 10 seconds all the screens (the built-in and external ones) would get a red teint on them.
[Wayback/Archive] MacBook Red Screen Issue – SimplyMac was the very first search result, and mentioned this:
Adjusting Night Shift and True Tone
Night Shift and True Tone features can affect the color temperature of your display. Night Shift reduces blue light in the evenings, which can make the screen appear warmer. True Tone adjusts the display’s color temperature to match the ambient lighting. If these settings are misconfigured, they could contribute to the red screen issue. Check your Night Shift and True Tone settings in the Displays section of System Preferences to ensure they’re set correctly or turned off.
I had to turn off both Night Shift and True Tone to get rid of this artefact, though for some people that didn’t solve the issue: [Wayback/Archive] Screen has red tint at night (True Tone and Night Shift are Off) – Apple Community.
I fully agree with [Wayback/Archive] Am I the only one who prefers True Tone?* : macbookpro
The only thing I like about true tone is how great it looks when I turn it off.
…
I was soooo disappointed with how crap the display was on my M1 Max that I thought about selling it as soon as I got it. Decided to play around with display settings and found True Tone. Turned it off and felt immediate relief. That’s how bad I think True Tone is. Absolutely flabbergasted that Mac’s come out the box with it enabled.
My 2015 MBP screen looks better to me than a M series screen with True Tone on.

After installing my Apple Silicon MacBook, I found out my machine had gotten named automatically in two different ways:
- readable name Jeroen’s Macbook Pro
- full name Jeroens-MacBook-Pro
- local hostname Jeroens-MacBook-Pro.local
- actual
hostname Jeroens-MBP
- HostName from
scutil
A few reasons I dislike that:
- Having 5 different names for the same machine creates a mess
- They chose for me where I like to choose myself
- They use spaces, quotes and hyphens where I like single a complete word
- They use mixed case where I like single case (preferably lower case) as not all other computers handle mixed case well
Finding out how to fix all this was a tedious job as I had to keep refining queries:

How I use Linux to write software for multiple target platforms – Kris Kamil Jacewicz – Google+
WINE has come a long way. Many things do not have a native look and feel, but so do many Delphi FMX or Lazarus LCL applications.
In fact I use quite a few tools (including Mikrotik WinBox) through Wine on Mac OS and it runs a lot more stable than quite a few of the FMX applications I’ve tried and ditched.
So for business applications not requiring a platform specific look and feel this indeed is quite acceptable direction to follow.
