    Help with finding a good Wi-Fi 6 router

    The Amplifi Alien costs $379. A bit on the high side (though individual Wi-Fi 6E routers can cost up to $600, so it's not the most expensive). However, I have heard from others that the Amplifi Alien requires a cloud login, that you can't do local-only administration of the settings. Anyone...

    Help with finding a good Wi-Fi 6 router

    It's been a while since I posted on the forums, but I'm looking to replace my aging Apple AirPort Extreme router which has been having some problems, and there are just way too many routers on the market to make an informed decision from just Google searches. So hopefully some of you can help...

    Beta Testers needed for TLAF apps (RipIt, iRip, Tagalicious, Ringtones)

    Our products still work with 10.1.x on G4 cubes, silly! :rolleyes: It's been years, yeah. No time for forums anymore. Unless it involves work. And no, I don't go hacking random forum accounts during work hours. :P

    Problem with enabling/disabling root user

    Actually, this was fixed in the "Security Update 2004-09-30" update which was released on October 4, as the page you linked to specifies. :)

    Problem with enabling/disabling root user

    scruffy, you were right. The "authentication_authority" property simply needed to be deleted from the root user. It turns out that if you have an "authentication_authority" property for the root user in the NetInfo database (use NetInfo Manager to easily check), then the root user will not be...

    Problem with enabling/disabling root user

    The only thing that seems to be different after enabling the root user is that it's password doesn't have an asterisk in front of it. That is, when disabled, it says something like "*3cte7302bjwpc49", whereas when it is enabled, it says "3cte7302bjwpc49". But putting an asterisk in front of...

    Problem with enabling/disabling root user

    I got some recommendations from other places to simply change the root password as shown in NetInfo Manager to '*', which simply means a blank password. Then the NetInfo Manager can enable/disable root normally, supposedly. What's weird is that I did this, and NetInfo Manager does seem to be...

    Problem with enabling/disabling root user

    Before anyone says anything, yes, I am entirely aware of the risks of enabling the root user, and that's why I intended to disable it after I was finished working with it. (Unfortunately, the only easy way to set the keyboard layout of the login window is to enable root user, change the...

    Reviving a dead iPod

    No I have a power adaptor, I just connect it to the computer to charge it. But connecting it to the power adaptor doesn't really help at all, anyway. I think my iPod's completely dead now -- I can't get anything to appear on the screen, and I think it's probably because I reset it after it...

    Port used for Internet Sharing?

    Does anybody know what ports are used for Internet Sharing on Mac OS X? I have my iMac sharing it's ethernet connection via AirPort to my PowerBook, but if I the firewall is activated on the iMac, Internet Sharing doesn't work. I have to disable the firewall in order for it to work. I found...

    Return from Hiatus

    Heh, old timers will remember that I never visited Hervé's at all during my previous stay here. I don't particularly care to change that. :rolleyes:

    Reviving a dead iPod

    So the other day when I connected my iPod to my iMac, the thing stalled on the Apple logo screen and wouldn't get any farther. After that, even when I reset the iPod, it would either give a low battery signal, or it would simply stall at the Apple logo. I figured it might be a battery problem...
