2023.06.04 20:06 Doctor__Ew Opinion Needed: Power surge to my 2013 iMac computer, looking to possibly recover my data.
Hello. Looking for an opinion here for someone who isn’t too knowledgeable in data recovery. My 2013 iMac was plugged into a wall outlet (my first mistake, no surge protector, I know). My 4 year old took the small end of a lightning iPhone charger (which was currently plugged into the back of my computer) and jammed it into the electrical outlet, causing a power surge and sparks and such. Luckily he was ok. However now my computer is seemingly fried and won’t turn on. I assume for such an old computer, it may not be worth it to repair and maybe I should try to just recover the data. I know data recovery is expensive. It’s mostly just personal photos, videos, and documents and nothing for work. What do you think my best options are? Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
Edit: it’s a late 2013 iMac 21.5 inch, EMC No: 2638

2023.06.04 17:40 SnarkyBear53 Just mad the jump from Mojave to Ventura. I HATE it.
This past week I finally updated my 2017 iMac from Mojave to Ventura. After a few days, I find that I hate it.
I have yet to find a single improvement of my OS experience. Not a single improvement.
If I wanted an iPad OS, I would be using an iPad. I seriously think I am going to move backward to Mojave again, or perhaps Catalina.

- The dock icons are all now rectangles and look too similar. Nothing sticks out anymore and it is more challenging to navigate.
- The System Settings is a steaming pile of garbage. Nothing is intuitive any more.
- I hate having to constantly type in my password every time I do something. I feel I've typed in my password more times in the past week than I did in the past 4 years.
- Even something as tiny as deleting a text. What happened to the little x? Now it's a right click, select delete, then select "Delete".

2023.06.02 23:31 jab136 Ticker that halted and didn't resume last week is still halted, there was also a halt that showed up in the data today that claims to have started on May 6 and resumed today. Problem is that May 6 was a Saturday. We really need a glitch better have my money flair.
 | There weren't a ton of halts during this short week, the highest day was yesterday with 29 halts on 11 tickers. The 20 day average dropped from the 90th percentile last Friday down to just barely in the 70th percentile today because it lost the 5 days from about a month ago when there were an average of more than 100 halts per day. The 50 day average remained in the 80th percentile all week. submitted by jab136 to Superstonk [link] [comments] Ok, now on to my regular post... Disclaimer due to recent issues in relation to brigading. I am simply attempting to provide a metric for market wide volatility as a possible alternative to other volatility indices such as VIX. I will talk about quite a few tickers other than GME, but that is simply an attempt to comment on odd or interesting behavior from those stocks that didn't match with the average. I am not advocating for or against any of those other tickers, simply attempting to give data and context for that data. I originally started looking at halt data when I got curious about which other stocks halted between Jan 27 and Jan 29 of 2021 to see if I could find a pattern or some interesting data that might be useful down the line. For anyone wondering what use it is to have a volatility index or why an alternative to VIX could be useful, this comment chain from my post on December 26th 2022 gives a pretty good ELIA. Also, there has been a lot of chatter on and off over the last few years about VIX and I for one would love to have an alternative that it can just be compared to since more data is always better IMO. VIX ELIA Using education tag this week because of the glitched tickers. Previous posts on this topic An analysis of all of the stocks that halted in the first minute of trading on 1/24/23. (part 1 part 2) Daily post about 12/9 with highest number of halts on a single ticker in over 2 years. Recent daily tracking post with info about halts going way past 16:00:00 EST NYSE halt tracking page is seeing some glitches (or possible just odd behavior) over the last few days. (Posted 9/30) Market Wide Limit Up Limit Down (LULD halts) significantly higher than normal. Over 100 halts today on 28 different tickers. (posted on August 2) An analysis of every stock that had an LULD halt between Jan 27 and Jan 29 of last year. (posted June 15) Adding a further TLDR per mod request; LULD halts are volatility halts on a specific ticker that halts trading for a minimum of 5 minutes on that ticker. Several months ago I realized that the NYSE records all the halts that happen every trading day and save them on a website. So knowing this, I wondered if I could possibly find other tickers that had a significant number of halts between Jan 27 and Jan 29 of last year. When I looked at the data, I found a lot of the usual suspects and a few other tickers that hadn't really been discussed previously very much as possible swap basket stocks. I also found that, while the volume of halts did spike in that period last year, the highest period by far in the available data was in mid March 2020. So I theorized that halts are likely correlated to market volatility and may provide an alternative metric to VIX. There has also been some odd activity with resume times for some halts going significantly into after hours (halts typically resume by 16:00:01 EST at the latest).Ok, now that that is out of the way, I have continued monitoring the NYSE page that tracks halts. Wednesday, and Thursday both had halts going into the closing bell this week. Both days had a resume at 16:00:00 EST which is completely normal. However there are now 2 tickers that are having very odd behavior with multi day halts. As I posted on Monday there was a ticker that had a halt last Wednesday 5/24 that hadn't resumed by the end of last week. It has remained halted through this entire week and is still showing up in the halts data. The historic data is also showing several halts all starting at the same time on that ticker when it halted last week, I am only including a single halt. There was another ticker that had very odd behavior in terms of a nearly month long halt that started on a Saturday somehow. It had not shown up previously as a volatility (LULD) halt so I am not completely certain what is going on. There was only one ticker this week that had more than 10 halts, that ticker was SDA (SunCar Technology Group Inc.) . This seems to be a chinese company that deals in auto and truck insurance. The news page on yahoo has absolutely no news for this company however it appears that something is definitely going on with it over the last few months. It was trading very steadily at around $10 for years, and then on April 14 it dropped to close at $8 after hitting a low of $6.71. It has been very volatile ever since, and then it had 28 halts this week. 15 of the halts were on Tuesday when it went from an opening price of $18.61 to a closing price of $43.05 (+309.61%) which was also the daily high. It leveled off a bit yesterday and had a very volatile day (low was $26.63, high was $45.73) however it closed at $43.31. It plummeted today, opening all the way down at $31.06, it had a high of $40.35 and closed at $21.34 (-46.20%). I have absolutely no idea what exactly is going on but something is definitely going on. MEOA (Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition Inc) is a shell company or SPAC out of Texas. It has been trading for a while. It was supposed to have it's shareholders meeting on last Tuesday (5/23), but it was postponed to Wednesday, then to Friday then again to this past Wednesday (5/31). It closed last Tuesday at $11.05, then rocketed to a high of $43.50 before falling down to $26.54 at the time of the halt. It has not resumed and no trades have been made since then. It had 15 halts last Wednesday. It doesn't have another shareholder meeting postponement on yahoo finance, but it also still hasn't resumed. SNMP (Evolve Transition Infrastructure LP) is an oil and gas company out of Texas. It has been trading for a while but has been having some issues recently meeting the continued listing requirements since it is trading at just $0.06 per share currently. Today's data from the NYSE lists it as having been paused on 5/6/2023 at 12:03:15 EST and shows a resume today at 09:35:25. Adding to my confusion here is the fact that it has been trading for that entire period and was not listed previously in the data from that week. This is a penny stock so it could be something related to that, but IDK. The table with halts that had multi day halts or halts without a resume time is going to stay at the top of the post this week because of MEOA and SNMP. All tickers that have halted one day and not resumed until the next or don't have a resume date on NYSE page
The daily, 5 day, and 20 day total halts are a simple sum (sum the tickers from the data for the daily, sum the daily totals for the multi day totals). The Daily tickers with halts, 5 day total tickers with halts, and 20 day total tickers with halts only count any individual ticker once. If a ticker has 5 halts in one day, it still only counts as 1 ticker that day. If a ticker halts 3 different days it only counts as ticker in the 5 or 20 day totals. All of the percentages are actually percentiles and are calculated as percentile=100*(1-x/n) where x is the number of days with an equal or higher number of halts than the day being looked at and n is the number of days in the data (891 this week). I am also including a table giving the cutoff values for 70th, 80th and 90th percentiles in total and unique halts for the daily, 5 day, 20 day, and 50 day averages. This value will change from week to week and be applied retroactively to all past dates. Percentile target values
Total halts comparisons
No tickers that halted between Jan 22 and Feb 2 of 2021 had any halts this week. Here is the table with the halts on GME and the Headphone stock during the sneeze these two tickers get mentioned every week for obvious reasons on GME, but Headphone actually had more total halts and only 1 less day in a row with halts than we did.

2023.06.02 17:25 FarraigePlaisteach What remote control for podcasts on M1 iMac?
I’d like to be able to play/pause, seek forward and backwards as well as skip items in the queue using an IR or RF remote control.
I mostly listen to podcasts so they’re the priority.
I really don’t want to use a phone or a wireless keyboard. It needs to work with eyes closed so the tactile aspect is important.
Can anyone recommend something compatible? Cheap is good too so it doesn’t have to be a recent model or even from Apple. M1 iMac doesn’t have a receiver that I’m aware of so I need a recommendation there too. Thanks 🙏

2023.06.02 00:13 RipCityyyyyy Screenshot command not working
 | I have a 2017 MBP and a 2020 M1 Mini and one of the screenshot functions doesn’t appear to work on the Mini. Cmd+Shift+4 turns the cursor into a crosshair for you to make a screenshot selection and pressing the spacebar from there should allow me to select an entire window to screenshot. It works on the MBP (Ventura 13.3.1/most recent), and on my old iMac, but not on the Mini (13.4/most recent). submitted by RipCityyyyyy to mac [link] [comments] Even doing Cmd+Shift+5 on the Mini, pressing the spacebar, and selecting Capture Selected Window in the options window that pops up doesn’t work. The function worked just fine on my old 2015 iMac too. I have ASUS monitors for the Mini but I can’t imagine that being the issue. Right…? Any ideas? |
2023.06.01 23:02 Historical_Ad5660 just a few stories i’d like to share
my first memory was in 2010, when i was 1-2 years old. i was sitting on my dads knee at our imac 2007 which was positioned right outside of the kitchen. my mom was going from couch to kitchen doing something i can’t remember, and my dad had opened youtube and pulled up interstella 5555. he wanted to show me what he listened to in college, and introduce me to his-and my-definition of good music. i was instantly captivated, and glued to the screen. i remember being particularly fascinated by the harder better faster stronger music video, and getting really mad whenever earl de darkwood was on screen. eventually, my dad got tired, underestimating how long the album was, and we stopped watching at veridis quo. he said we would finish the next day, but we never did. that moment permanently imprinted the band and album in my mind. whenever i listen to discovery, i get full body goosebumps.
another memory i have with the band, was watching the technologic music video at 10:00 at night (much past 7 year old me’s bedtime) every friday night, we as a family would go out to dinner, and when we got home, would watch music videos for hours. this eventually stopped when i started middle school. i had friends, and plans, and freedom, and was usually out somewhere, hanging out, and getting dinner with them. this particular night, my mom wasn’t home, so it was just me and dad. my dad was only allowed to watch one daft punk music video, since my mom wasn’t the biggest fan. my dad always played one more time much to her dismay. since she wasn’t there, we watched all the daft punk music videos we wanted, and when we ran out, i suggested we watch technologic. as soon as i saw the little white robot, my blood ran cold. my dad asked me if i was scared, to which i said no, but that thing freaked me to my core. i was so fucking scared of it, that i couldn’t be alone for the next 6 months. i carried this fear inside of me, and never told anyone about it, because i didn’t want to seem weak or childish. whenever i had to traverse my house alone, i carried a giant plush of bomb from angry birds, which my parents threw away one day, which somehow ended my fear streak.
yay, story number 3. when i was little, maybe 4, i was at my grandmas condo. my grandma is a strong chinese woman who immigrated from taiwan to south korea to america 30 years ago. she left her abusive husband, found new love, and raised 2 sons in a foreign country, where she didn’t even speak the language. she was the business owner of a chinese take out restaurant in the slums of atlanta, ga. she was robbed, held at gunpoint, and shot at multiple times, but still persisted. anyway that was completely off topic, i just wanted to talk about how amazing my grandma is. we were in one of the rec rooms of the condo, and i was pretending to be arpegius in the aerodynamic music video, and i was vocalizing the song the best toddler me could. my grandma, in broken english, asked what i was doing. i tried to explain it to her, but it was just too much. i had to first explain daft punk to her, then what an album was, then who arpegius was, and whatever lore 7 year old me could understand, to a old (but wonderful) chinese woman who could barely speak english. eventually i gave up, and just started doodling in a tom and jerry coloring book.

2023.05.31 15:40 AdewsFishAndTech iMac G3 questions
 | I got this iMac G3 for $35 off Facebook marketplace. It’s in rough condition and needed a hard drive. When I got it home, I opened it up and discovered that the caddy was missing. I screwed a hard drive directly to the cage that holds the CD drive and HDD in. There’s enough space so it doesn’t short out, but there’s not a lot of space for cooling the chips on the hard drive. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it fine? I’d probably just drill holes before anything because I don’t want to spend too much on this because it’s in rough shape. There’s also a large capacitor I can see through the clear plastic, and the top of it looks slightly bulged. Is that normal? And finally the slot loading CD drive has trouble ejecting, the only way I can get the disc out is without the bottom case attached, is this fixable? It wouldn’t boot from a burned CD-RW with Mac OS 8, so I ordered some CD-R discs. Sorry for all the questions, but I really don’t want to break anything on this. Any answers would be helpful, thanks. submitted by AdewsFishAndTech to VintageApple [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/bzi1spwbs73b1.jpg?width=1512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b0687fb6fc8df60af9dc447487c3e99b51412c2 https://preview.redd.it/wtomf2zbs73b1.jpg?width=1512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc5f414e601b3f4c3373452a48868c49c15040d6 https://preview.redd.it/1n1aurxbs73b1.jpg?width=1512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0121237716e2bb169922c3fa53bdf0bce2899fc9 |
2023.05.31 12:33 Dopinephrine Couldn't retrieve the play queue for this item. A plea for guidance.
I recently replaced my beloved 2012 iMac with an M2 Pro Mac mini. I chose not to attempt any migrations, because I tend to be slightly superstitious about baking wrinkles into my projects, and I thought that starting fresh after five years of Plexing on an Intel Mac would be worth the effort since I know so much more now and have transitioned to Apple Silicon. I am in the process of rebuilding my Plex library on the new machine.
I completed my three TV libraries after a few weeks of meticulous building, and have been very pleased with the results of my work. The libraries and collections operate flawlessly, everything is fast, and the computer feels capable. I celebrated with a David Attenborough nature marathon, and then set to work creating my movie libraries. The first one was completed, I had 38 shiny collections lovingly designed, and so I asked a friend to do some beta testing. He said that the movies simply don't work, and sent a picture of his Tizen client with the error message "An error occurred loading items into the play queue".
The movies play normally on LG's webOS, and on Android's NVIDIA Shield at home, but I noticed that notifications in the dashboard and in Varys were delayed, and once or twice failed to show up at all. The movies also work on a Pixel 6, but when I try to play them on my iPhone, I receive a similar error after about ten seconds of spinning: "Couldn't retrieve the play queue for this item. Please try again." When I try to play the movies in Safari on the server computer, it spins forever with no message. On the TV clients that do play them, exiting the film causes a delay, and I have a black screen for about ten seconds before it repopulates the library. On more than one occasion during random testing, PMS crashed and I had to restart the program on the computer.
I did extensive testing on the TV libraries, using multiple devices to just start and stop random items, trying to break something. Everything works perfectly.
I noticed that the movie problem extends to a small test library I made as well, with just a few movies in it. I did the normal stuff I could to rectify the problem: I restarted the computer, and the router. I confirmed that the directories were sound, and that the original media files were healthy. I scanned all the libraries and emptied the trash, cleaned all bundles, and optimized the database. I analyzed and refreshed the metadata on movies I knew were problematic, and tried again. Nothing helped.
I started to worry about a thunderstorm that knocked out power a week ago, while the library was under construction. Could the database be corrupted, hence why the problem seems to have extended to another movie library but not the TV libraries completed earlier? I've never using SQLite before, but I spent two days trying to comprehend the language and then followed a few guides to investigate. Eventually I managed to run the PRAGMA integrity_check; VACUUM; and REINDEX; commands on the database. They came back clean, at some point it said something like "0 errors 0 changes".
Feeling unsure of my competence, and confirming the problem still existed in the same way, I began rolling back the database with backups, until I was a full day before the power outage. The problem was still there at every interval, even on a version from when I only had the first few movies added to the library. I felt my morale dropping as I went through the motions of confirming the problem behavior on each client. Then I restored the database back to the present, saving my last week's work, but no closer to understanding or fixing my problem.
In the last few hours I've tried dozens of searches and read scores of forum posts and comments, as well as familiar pages on Plex support. I tried deleting my Codecs folder and letting Plex build a new one. I found my biggest TV episodes (7 GB each for Lonesome Dove) to make sure it wasn't some kind of temporary folder size problem, but they played instantly on all clients. And then in a haze of experimental desperation, I unmatched one of the movies that won't play on any client except Android, and it played after a short delay. It worked on my phone too. I rematched it, and it still plays. It does not play as quickly as it should, it spins for a few seconds where TV shows don't, but it's probably notable.
Extras saved in the media folders with the movies that don't work play perfectly. Just the movie itself doesn't.
I fear I'm at the end of my abilities. I don't know what to make of the various symptoms, and I don't know what to do next. I don't know why there is a problem, or why it is manifesting they way it is, and so I don't know how to trust anything moving forward. I'm rather hoping that someone smarter will have a good idea, or will recognize the issue. I have a long way to go before my media is 100% rebuilt, and I've spent a considerable amount of time and research trying to create a robust Plex server. Without knowing why this is happening, why it only affects movies, and why it behaves so bizarrely, I fear I will cause the problem to reoccur, even if I burn my work so far and start again.
I've never shared logs before, but here is an attempt. Logs

Feeling unsure of my competence, and confirming the problem still existed in the same way, I began rolling back the database with backups, until I was a full day before the power outage. The problem was still there at every interval, even on a version from when I only had the first few movies added to the library. I felt my morale dropping as I went through the motions of confirming the problem behavior on each client. Then I restored the database back to the present, saving my last week's work, but no closer to understanding or fixing my problem.
In the last few hours I've tried dozens of searches and read scores of forum posts and comments, as well as familiar pages on Plex support. I tried deleting my Codecs folder and letting Plex build a new one. I found my biggest TV episodes (7 GB each for Lonesome Dove) to make sure it wasn't some kind of temporary folder size problem, but they played instantly on all clients. And then in a haze of experimental desperation, I unmatched one of the movies that won't play on any client except Android, and it played after a short delay. It worked on my phone too. I rematched it, and it still plays. It does not play as quickly as it should, it spins for a few seconds where TV shows don't, but it's probably notable.
Extras saved in the media folders with the movies that don't work play perfectly. Just the movie itself doesn't.
I fear I'm at the end of my abilities. I don't know what to make of the various symptoms, and I don't know what to do next. I don't know why there is a problem, or why it is manifesting they way it is, and so I don't know how to trust anything moving forward. I'm rather hoping that someone smarter will have a good idea, or will recognize the issue. I have a long way to go before my media is 100% rebuilt, and I've spent a considerable amount of time and research trying to create a robust Plex server. Without knowing why this is happening, why it only affects movies, and why it behaves so bizarrely, I fear I will cause the problem to reoccur, even if I burn my work so far and start again.
I've never shared logs before, but here is an attempt. Logs
2023.05.31 03:41 smegzla iMac Core 2 Duo
Husbands boss sent him home with an old iMac that had been sitting for over a year. Apparently a disgruntled employee, who also did the computer set up, changed the password and quit. We went through the process of resetting. Made it all the way to installing El Captain and couldn’t proceed because our Apple ID doesn’t match what must have been used to set up the computer. I have tried going to the Apple website to download El Captain but it says there is no space. We’ve already cleared and erased what was there so I’m not sure how to clear any further space. I’m reading that we could download it to a USB from another Mac but we only own windows. Is it worth it to purchase a USB online? Or is this particular computer too old to put much more effort into it?

2023.05.30 16:56 Future-Character2445 Erasing Data from Old iMac
EDIT: Corrected that it is actually a Mid-2010 iMac and not 2009
Didn’t know where else to turn so I’m hoping I can get some help here! 🙏🏽 I have a Mid 2010 iMac that I want to get rid of as I now have a new computer that I mainly use. I have already backed up everything needed from the computer and just need to completely erase the files.
My issue is that none of the current methods really work as it is too old for the internet recovery. I’ve done Command+R and Command+Option+R and some others to no avail.
I did try and use the Disk Utility to erase the HD, which worked, but then I was unable to reinstall OS X. I ended up just putting my backup back onto the computer so it wasn’t just a paperweight but now I’m at a loss.
I did see some comments on other posts about making a new Admin user and then deleting my old one. Is that something that could work? My only concern would be that the files wouldn’t really be “deleted” as they would still be there to be recovered (right?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

2023.05.30 15:39 Initial-Print2787 I have a M1 iMac, A Nintendo Switch and a tiny flat. Help!
I live in one of those miniflat kinda situations, don´t have space for multiscreen, setups or a PC tower. I found the best use of space was an imac so I bought one a couple years ago, and to be honest it´s a fantastic machine for general use and for work.
I do not own a TV since 2006, nor I have space for it or decent-TV funds atm. But I do have a Nintendo Switch and a 12 year old niece that sometimes comes to my place and wants to play mario kart with me on something bigger than the switch screen, with the iMac being the only thing I have.
She also wants me to stream some switch content for her.
Have done some research, it seems I need a capture card that´s good enough so the latency won´t be too horrible to stream something like Zelda and one other game she wants me to stream from some anime she likes.
I have seen set ups done for mac studios or mac minis , but not much about the imac.
I know there´s elgato, and them a bunch of chinese branded ones on Amazon. Do any of them work with iMac? or will I need 100% another screen or TV? if that´s the case then I´m screwed, my desk barely fits the iMac as is.
Thank you for your time and sorry if any of this was overly ignorant (I am not the most tech savvy)

2023.05.30 15:16 umataro home directories on NFS
I have many gnu/linux machines at home and they all have their /home directory on a central NAS (Ubuntu 20.04 server), which they mount via NFSv3. I've tried NFSv4 but v3 is way more forgiving with reboots and network changes. I now have 2 imacs and 2 macbooks at home and would like them to use the NAS for their /Users or at least /Users/someusername. What is the best way to do that? It doesn't need to be NFS (these answers don't seem very encouraging - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251291315), it can even be Samba or even AFP. I just need general pointers so I don't invest too much time into researching a solution others have already tested and deemed impossible. Linux world has NFS, Windows world has roaming profiles, what does Apple world use for this?

2023.05.29 20:15 jab136 Couple days late this week. Halts down again last week, but there was a volatility halt on Wednesday that seems to have glitched the system and still doesn't have a listed resume date or time.
 | Wednesday was the only day this week with more than 20 volatility halts. The 20 day average is still in the 90th percentile, but March 13 (238 halts on 53 tickers) fell out of the 50 day average on Tuesday causing a drop in that value, still very high, but not in the 90th percentile currently. submitted by jab136 to Superstonk [link] [comments] Ok, now on to my regular post... Disclaimer due to recent issues in relation to brigading. I am simply attempting to provide a metric for market wide volatility as a possible alternative to other volatility indices such as VIX. I will talk about quite a few tickers other than GME, but that is simply an attempt to comment on odd or interesting behavior from those stocks that didn't match with the average. I am not advocating for or against any of those other tickers, simply attempting to give data and context for that data. I originally started looking at halt data when I got curious about which other stocks halted between Jan 27 and Jan 29 of 2021 to see if I could find a pattern or some interesting data that might be useful down the line. For anyone wondering what use it is to have a volatility index or why an alternative to VIX could be useful, this comment chain from my post on December 26th 2022 gives a pretty good ELIA. Also, there has been a lot of chatter on and off over the last few years about VIX and I for one would love to have an alternative that it can just be compared to since more data is always better IMO. VIX ELIA Using education tag this week because of the glitched ticker. Previous posts on this topic An analysis of all of the stocks that halted in the first minute of trading on 1/24/23. (part 1 part 2) Daily post about 12/9 with highest number of halts on a single ticker in over 2 years. Recent daily tracking post with info about halts going way past 16:00:00 EST NYSE halt tracking page is seeing some glitches (or possible just odd behavior) over the last few days. (Posted 9/30) Market Wide Limit Up Limit Down (LULD halts) significantly higher than normal. Over 100 halts today on 28 different tickers. (posted on August 2) An analysis of every stock that had an LULD halt between Jan 27 and Jan 29 of last year. (posted June 15) Adding a further TLDR per mod request; LULD halts are volatility halts on a specific ticker that halts trading for a minimum of 5 minutes on that ticker. Several months ago I realized that the NYSE records all the halts that happen every trading day and save them on a website. So knowing this, I wondered if I could possibly find other tickers that had a significant number of halts between Jan 27 and Jan 29 of last year. When I looked at the data, I found a lot of the usual suspects and a few other tickers that hadn't really been discussed previously very much as possible swap basket stocks. I also found that, while the volume of halts did spike in that period last year, the highest period by far in the available data was in mid March 2020. So I theorized that halts are likely correlated to market volatility and may provide an alternative metric to VIX. There has also been some odd activity with resume times for some halts going significantly into after hours (halts typically resume by 16:00:01 EST at the latest).Ok, now that that is out of the way, I have continued monitoring the NYSE page that tracks halts. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday all had halts going into the closing bell this week. Tuesday's halt resumed at 16:00:07, which is a couple seconds later than usual, but not enough to say much more about. Wednesday and Thursday both had halt resumes at 16:00:00 exactly, however there is a ticker from Wednesday that still doesn't show a resume time or date on the NYSE page. This hasn't happened since August of 2021. There were three tickers this week with more than 10 halts this week, and all of them had at least 10 of those halts in a single day. One of them has two halts that started at the same time and neither has resumed yet. LAESV (SEALSQ Corp) is a Swiss microchip manufacturer that had an IPO on Tuesday at $28.50. It then fell hard to close at $10.859 with 10 halts. Wednesday was volatile enough to trigger 5 more halts with a high of $26 and a low of $12.64. It has fallen back down to $14.731 at close on Friday. This volatility is pretty normal for IPOs so probably not too important. MEOA (Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition Inc) is a shell company or SPAC out of Texas. It has been trading for a while. It was supposed to have it's shareholders meeting on Tuesday, but it was postponed to Wednesday, then to Friday then again to Tomorrow. It closed Tuesday at $11.05, then rocketed to a high of $43.50 before falling down to $26.54 at the time of the halt. It has not resumed and no trades have been made since then. It had 15 halts on Wednesday. QSG (QuantaSing Group Limited) is an education company out of China. It also had a very volatile day on Wednesday when it went from a close of $8.25 on Tuesday to a high of $28.99 before falling back to close at $19.00, with 13 halts in between. It halted one more time on Thursday and has been falling since Wednesday. It closed at $10.00 on Friday. I am moving the table with halts that don't have official resume times up to the top of the post this week because of MEOA. All tickers that have halted one day and not resumed until the next or don't have a resume date on NYSE page
The daily, 5 day, and 20 day total halts are a simple sum (sum the tickers from the data for the daily, sum the daily totals for the multi day totals). The Daily tickers with halts, 5 day total tickers with halts, and 20 day total tickers with halts only count any individual ticker once. If a ticker has 5 halts in one day, it still only counts as 1 ticker that day. If a ticker halts 3 different days it only counts as ticker in the 5 or 20 day totals. All of the percentages are actually percentiles and are calculated as percentile=100*(1-x/n) where x is the number of days with an equal or higher number of halts than the day being looked at and n is the number of days in the data (891 this week). I am also including a table giving the cutoff values for 70th, 80th and 90th percentiles in total and unique halts for the daily, 5 day, 20 day, and 50 day averages. This value will change from week to week and be applied retroactively to all past dates. Percentile target values
Total halts comparisons
No tickers that halted between Jan 22 and Feb 2 of 2021 had any halts this week. Here is the table with the halts on GME and the Headphone stock during the sneeze these two tickers get mentioned every week for obvious reasons on GME, but Headphone actually had more total halts and only 1 less day in a row with halts than we did.

2023.05.29 05:03 Snowywayne Old School Capturing Advice
I’m in process of converting 20+ MiniDV tapes to digital and I want some advice on what my best plan of attack is for exporting them to hopefully speed up the process without losing too much quality.
I’m importing the video from the camera via FireWire to an old iMac running OS 10. Not looking to change anything there, as those are the tools at my disposal.
Running iMovie 6, I’m importing the tape via iMovie’s default process, then exporting the video from the iMovie timeline at its current resolution (784 x 576) as an MP4. Is this the best way to do it?

2023.05.28 22:28 Krismc96 Help me PLEASE!!!:(
I have an iMac from 2009. I believe it’s using High Sierra, but not too sure. I make music on it and last night, I started to make a song and I then put the Mac to sleep. As I was asleep, I heard the Mac reboot itself and when I checked on it, it had restarted and was displaying a message along the lines of ‘Your computer restarted because of a problem.’ It then worked, but incredibly slow to the point where it was constantly showing the rainbow loading wheel. After around 45 mins, I restarted the mac by holding down the power button on the back of the display and then attempted a restart. Every single attempt at restarting has been unsuccessful… it just makes it to the white loading screen and shuts itself down around half way through the initial load. I can’t remember the last time it was backed up and I have so many memories and important files stored on this computer as I have had it since new. I have been meaning to buy a new one, however with me making music on it, I was kinda delaying the process as everything was working fine and all of my production software still worked. Please can ANYONE help me figure out how I can get it started again without losing my files? I would be so so grateful.
Thanks in advance to anyone who gives this post the time of day 🙏🤍

2023.05.28 06:46 zebradreams07 Forcing OS upgrade
Is there any way I can force an OS upgrade onto an older system without swapping out hardware? I have a late 2014 iMac that's maxed out at 10.12.6 and I'm running into increasing compatibility issues with applications no longer supporting this build. My computer still runs great; I have no interest in replacing it nor funds to do so but at some point I'll be forced to when I can't use programs that insist on constant updates.
I don't need the very latest OS but if I can get to something that's within the last few years it should give me some more time. I don't want to get into anything too complicated - my skills are limited and I can't afford to push the wrong key and kill my entire system (been there, done that). I don't do anything very taxing and it's still totally adequate for my needs.

2023.05.27 13:28 plantlver96 Mid 2007 iMacs with a CPU upgrade are useful modern multimedia AND late 2000s mac gaming machines!
 | submitted by plantlver96 to mac [link] [comments] My happy little kitchen mac. I use it to watch videos / the news or to look up recipes while cooking. If you still have one or find one cheap online, I highly recommend swapping the stock CPU with an Intel T9300 or (in my case) T9500 Intel Core 2 Duo. (To my knowledge, those are the only options which are supported by the iMac's EFI and enable the machine to run modern macOS). Then throw in a cheap SSD and max out the RAM and these things can even (technically) run macOS Monterey! Htrukay Mods made a video showcasing every version of mac OS that can run on this machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DPlJ1WCZ5w I followed his advice and installed macOS Catalina as a stable "modernish" operating system. To do so, I used dosdude's patcher: https://dosdude1.com/catalina/ And what can I say? Its a very usable and pleasent Catalina machine. It's even running better than my 2010 17 inch Macbook Pro (best processor, SSD, maxed out RAM) running officially supported High Sierra. It's currently triple-booting Mac OS X Tiger, Mac OS X Snow Leopard and macOS Catalina.Everything's working without a problem. I even got the Magic Mouse working under Tiger using this guide: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/i-got-my-magic-mouse-working-on-tiger-but-i-need-your-help.2281682/ The only "issue" is System profiler displaying the incorrect speed of the processor: It says 700 MHz, but don't worry - it's running at full speed. A really awesome machine. I can use it to play some vitage games, like Tomb Raider Anniversary, Spore or early versions of Tropico under Tiger and Snow Leopard. But I can also use it as a modern multi media machine. Thanks to the SSD and the astonishing optimization of catalina, it's running quickly, rather cool and most important to me: silent. I've read that 4 GB are most likely already maxed out by the operating system itself, but this is the RAM usage at the very moment I'm creating this post using Firefox: In the very likely case you don't speak German: 3 of 4 GB are being used by Firefox (6 tabs opened), the activity monitor app and the operating system itself. Leaving around 1 GB unsed. The operating system is still responsive and all animations are fluid. No noticable slowdown. And the CPU is doing fine as well: Still haven't improved your German reading skills? ;) Let me help: The system is using 6,47 %, all user apps together (including Firefox) 13,42 % of the CPU. I wouldn't consider this high CPU usage, would you? I've had it running for 10 hours yesterday, playing YouTube videos, installing apps, tinkering around. At one point the temperatures reached 52 °C / 125 °F, but most of the time it idles at 42 °C / 107°C. Make sure to also replace the GPU's thermal paste when swapping the CPU, though! Here are some stats to give you an impression of it's speed under catalina:
And it's surprisingly cheap, too: I purchased this 24" iMac for 30 € on the German version of cragislist ("kleinanzeigen"), I got a cheap SanDisk SSD for 30 € of evil Amazon and ordered the T9500 from China via eBay for another 35 €. So in total, this iMac running Catalina was under 100 €. Technically you could add one 4 GB RAM module to one existing 2 GB module in order to max out the RAM to 6 GB. But these modules are EXPENSIVE, like 40 € expensive. And this machine is already happy with 4 GB, so I wouldn't recommend this upgrade unless you find one for a good price. Maybe you're like me and want to give vintage macs their own "purpose". Every of my vintage/old macs is still beeing used: as a stereo, managing my iTunes library, for vintage gaming or as a server. But it always felt like "artificial" use cases knowing my modern small DELL XPS laptop could do all that quicker using less power. But his 24" 2007 iMac is actually useful in todays standards! (Also a great reason to justify having another random Apple Computer in the house to your signficiant other ;) ). Just wanted to share this piece of information in case you weren't aware of the capabilities of 2007 iMacs! |
