It's running cancer hot now and rebooting spontaneously every hour or so. BUT AT LEAST I HAVE MOJAVE'S "ALL NEW" NIGHT MODE!!

It old as shit. 2012 Westmere. Not one of the fancy black garbage cans. But it was running lighting fast and never rebooted for several months at a time until Mojave's bullshit.

that sucks man, but it sounds like you got quite a bit of use out of it and TBF, i think there's an element of caveat emptor when you start updating brand new OS's on a seven year old machine. i certainly wouldn't have loaded mojave on my system if it was a 2012, i'd just ignore updates like i do on my ipad.

I got this used on eBay ~2015 for $900. If I bought it brand new in 2012 it'd be like $4k.

Open and clean the dust?

edit: also thermal paste has a limited life. you need to repaste.

I barely put my PC together last year, and it's dusty as fuck.

edit: I take back the paste thing. Looks like 7 year paste does just fine (even if it has limited life).

You can build a hackintosh that will blow that out of the water for like $600

Doubtful since most of the $ goes to video card, SSD drive and RAM. I can't run a business on illegally booted software anyway. That seems like playing with fire when some retarded boomer fed like Mueller could ruin your life over that.

But no business is going to run hackintosh unless you enjoy tinkering with your PC.

You only tinker once and then it's bulletproof. Saves tons of time compared to windows. I use them at my law firm.

How many message threads are open on xo? There must be tens, if not hundreds. His 12-core can only do 24 threads MAX.

You've been Tim Cucked.

macOS annual updates are a planned obsolescence trojan drive to boost profits. Time to go buy a 3k Apple bin for "dark mode". JFC

I had issues with Mojave, as well. I ended up backing up my home directory, cleaning out ~/Library, and wiping/reinstalling the whole thing. It was a PITA, but it runs much better on a clean install.

I figured out that it was related to time machine auto-backup. Maybe because I was using an internal HD for backups and it was maxed out. Idk but after I disabled auto-backup everything works great again
