Yo I'm actually watching this on the new M1 Mac mini!
11:06 i swear that sounds exactly like DankPods
UUUHHHH WERE GOING ALL THE WAY
australian accent :)
That's the aussie accent mate
auxilary mode
nano
2:26 dankpods would've said : "someone's been in here" In his even more than usual Aussie voice
Bro lol
@Ghost GamerX Oi mayt, sumwans cracked this puppy open before aye
They should do a collaboration
@Ryder Ryght no u are
Someone's been in here... SOMEONES BEEN IN HERE Fun fact the angrier aussies get the heavier the accent
11:06 I'm sure you and Dankpods should make a Cashies adventure video together
Definitely, that sound 😂✌️
Sorta
got that aussie sound.
Yep
jir
The "Sick airtime bro" really cracked me up! The fact that you had gotten an injury is terrible news! I'm glad that it has healed enough for you to continue. I really enjoy your content as it has helped spark my new hobby, programming, which I love so much. Enjoying the videos so far! Good luck from Lithuania!

"I'd be curious to know if Apple is going to introduce their own silicon processor in the next Mac mini this year"
Well he guessed that right
Should we.... should we tell him?
He wasn't wrong. 🤓🤓
@@brandanheasley9608 yep
Pretty sure it was already out by the time this video was released
I literally did this same exact upgrade earlier this year when the COVID lockdown first happened. I decided to put Ubuntu on mine and discovered that the most recent version that has an installer compatible with this Mac Mini is the 2014 version. So, I installed the 2014 version, then upgraded to 2016, then upgraded to 2018, which is where the machine currently stands.
Aaa amazing, perfect for web browsing and word?
Assuming you installed a Core2Duo: There’s Linux ISO’s that can install 64-bit versions on Macs with 64-bit processors but 32-bit EFI. Might be worth a shot. Google “Matt Gadient Linux ISO” and it should be the top result. Running Mint 20 on my C2D MacBook thanks to that iso
That’s the same as the original intel Mac Pro. Have one of those and now it’s just my Linux pc. Just the 32bit efi weirdness.
Yep. Upgraded 64-bit Core 2 Duo processor, firmware upgrade, maxxed out RAM (4G, 3G usable), 2T SSD, and now it's _our_ plex server.
It supports latest elementary linux
11:07 DankPods doing Mac stuff be like
11:07 This made me chuckle 😂
funni aussie accent funni funni hahahahahahahahahahahaha
4:23 the Intel processor is like "mate, I'm outta making those Tony Hawk moves"
eBay China Australia's CPU Intel
You can almost hear the special trick sound.
11:38 10/10 TH-cam thumbnail making
"Computational power" thats the best aussie accent i ever heard
I feel like Psivewri’s main slogan should be: “Bababooey"
Baba bowie*
*bababooey, dont disrespect howard stern m8
Was it his first word tho?
@@AKXNA its from howard stern
@@Frostbite.. bruh its bababooey its from howard stern ya dunce
I have one of these, it was my first Mac. It's a great little machine!
My first Mac is a 2006 iMac I hit recently. I did pretty much the same upgrades to it as he did to this Mac mini, although it has a 500gb desktop hard drive instead of an SSD. It also has windows XP installed trough bootcamp.
The real magic starts at 10:27 😍 Please keep making restoration videos! We need to do all we can to encourage people to save old tech! ❤❤❤ from USA.
The legend is back
Psivewri: did it survive the surgery?
*** ad comes up ***
sameee
Same
Great to see you back!!! Hope tjings are all right now. Regards
Great video and great to see you back! I'm glad that you're feeling better!
11:07 im getting reminded of dankpods
Absolutely amazing restoration Psivewri... we love your videos!!! Please don’t stop uploading restoration videos of old electronic videos like this... in the future we won’t be able to upgrade or restore electronics like this because due to the lack of upgradeability, please try to find an older HP laptop to upgrade and restore... would make a cool video and change up your content up a bit. We would love it! Have a great rest of your night.
I'm just glad your hand is getting better, great video again, keep up the good work!
The setup itself still looks really cool today! I always loved the mac mini
It’s so cool how Apple computers went from being a computer to being a piece of art. Now all those old computers are art 😅.
This was an awesome video! I have one of these, and I have also bought a CPU etc, and was planning on doing this to mine. I would love for you to make another video about seeing what the newest OS you could get to work on it was and how you'd do that. Keep up the great work
I love watching your videos! My favorite thing to watch on Saturday mornings!
Great work there buddy! Loved the new video you had put up about the Mac Mini.
I had a similar problem with an old 2009 iMac when it came to upgrading the MacOS on there.
What I had done was downloaded the .DMG image of one of the MacOSes that you can get for free online and do an in-place upgrade to the MacOS directly onto it. As it worked for me and was able to get to High Sierra in the end, hopefully it should work out for you too!
I really love your hair! Brings out the Aussie in ya mate!
LOL! This was one of your best videos. Loved the photoshop tips! Glad you're better and back to making videos. I hope I'm not the only one to say, more ad lib voice overs! lol Cheers!
Hope you’re doing great and recovering well. Glad you’re back 😁
Yesss you are back! Hope you are in good health.
The Core Duo is a cool processor in that it's almost like the ultimate development of the Pentium 3.... It's essentially a dual-core version of the Pentium M, itself a revamped P6 architecture chip. Conroe borrowed from it also, but it's much more different from the Pentium 3 than is Yonah.
Which DAWs are best for newer Macs? Am a hobby lyricist wishing to make music to my lyrics
10:32 I have a Alesis synth too,.still trying to knock out a decent tune. Kudos on that great short burst off one of my favourite 80s songs.
That is not a synth it's just a controller keyboard.
@@scottarmstrong8585 😂
Thanks I was getting worried when you uploaded stuff about minecraft!
welcome back man
why is nobody mentioning how well he played Take on me by A-ha ? from 10:32 to 10:44 :)

Kudos on ur music skills Nathan!❤️
Really good video bro, Keep up the great work!
2:47
"i unclipped"
you mean "yeeted"
I would stick with Snow Leopard.
Loin doesn’t add that much capability and Rosetta is a must-have for a vintage intel Mac.
Plus in 10.7 they got rid of the scroll arrows. Agree with you on Rosetta.
vintage macs! my favourite series on this channel !!
10:27 I wasn't expecting that! Makes me want to get a used Mac Mini, I keep hearing about how Macs are good for music production and it seems like a fun thing to have on the side.
Geez, “uploaded 40 seconds ago” anybody else here?
2 minutes ago
11:26 you sound like the TH-camr dank pods
They are both australians
Good to see you back to making videos Nathan! Hope your hand is okay now!
Welcome back! Hope the hand heals well!
I clicked the video right when I noticed it. I would've clicked even faster if the thumbnail would have been edited like shown at the end though. 😂 Bruh!
10:27 Meme of guy turning the volume to 11!!!!!1!
been a while since u uploaded, I'm glad u uploaded :)
I love your videos!! Thanks for being such a great TH-camr
This reminds me of the good old times when Apple products didn't suck.
it also reminds me of when they did (powerpc g4)
me too
your comment aged like milk. (Apple Sillicon)
@@Techie21 They make better processors now. So what? There are still plenty of other reasons why Apple sucks.
Good to see you recovered well Nathan
I am glad you are back , your videos are still perfect , 😉
Good to see you back mate, hope you're taking it easy and healing well :)
Great Video! Glad to see you're doing well.
Finally another video!❤️
Hope your hand is better
One of your coolest episode !
Finally your back in action ready to restore PC’s
One of the first Psivewri video reccomended to me in a long time.
11:25, goofy Nathan xDD nice video mate!
Good piano playing Psivewri!
Another great video!!
Omg man finally you are back I can’t explain my happiness 😭😭

For some reason I didn’t see this until today. Welcome back!

He back I been waiting for a new video
Excellent, well done 😀👍
OMG your back, glad you're doing better.
you know why i like this channel while i was bored for the first time randomly i found this channel then i was hooked up like i never stopped watching this channel and now i like the name psivewri that is a nice ring to it even if you'll take 5 or 6 years for 1 million i don't care but still i like it even i am living in india i have no problem........but if you reply god bless you 100k is enough for you to be happy i didn't even get 1k
but no problem cause i have this channel to love myself i love one these not only this others like
Austins Evans , Hugh , Psivewri thank you and also everyone in the future might be like one of these people ! god bless everyone
your videos are so awsome and also took apart the tosiba satilate i told you about
currently watching Halt And Catch Fire and that made me see this video in an even more professional way
Great Video!
ayyy im happy you are back!!!
WOW, great job !!!!
love Your content, keep a good work!!!
Happy Diwali Bro. Love from India
Miss u bro nice work
congrats for 170k Subscribers
Aye, my boi is back!
This is a trip down memory row. I had a 2008 Mini. I used it for many years. I pulled the DVD Drive out and put a second bigger HDD in there. I took it apart many times!
I am repairing some stocks of my friend's powerbooks and an old macbook. It seems many problems in them, but I just enjoy the solving...because old macs are unique
DosDude is brilliant. Allowing so many older macs to like even longer fuller lives. My 2008 MacBook Pro has no problem running Catalina and my 2011 on Mojave years after they were dropped by apple
When I bought my 2009 mac mini, some individual designed an air-filter to fit perfectly on the base of the unit. I still use this mac mini today, and those ports are totally free of any dust.
Man quality isn't quantity all of my loved youtubers don't upload regularly and quickly but they make the best videos good quarantine and don't worry we'll wait
Your back!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS YOUR BACK!!!!
