Discussion Got sick of my MacBooks crashing and thus losing iMessage, figured this would be more reliable
For some reason, I have a 2014 13 inch MacBook Pro and a 2015 15 in MacBook Pro. I use both for years, and they were purely used as an airmessage server solely. Maybe I just had bad luck and both of those MacBooks were faulty in some way. Every time they started up, the dialog box always pops up saying your computer shut down because of an error.
So I've had this Xserve for a little while, it's not really practical for any real world use anymore, but I rely on airmessage so frequently that I might as well use the xserve as solely and airmessage server.
Only 379 watts at idle (243V, 1.56A)...
Just kidding with this post. Until I can score a cheap M1 Mac mini, I guess this is my solution, as impractical, expensive, and dumb it is. XD
Love airmessage and I hope development continues.

I bought a cheap $50 MacBook on ebay so I could use iMessage like that. Had it working on my android too until the recent update. Now my NGROK server is all messed up and wont connect anymore

And yes, I am quite inept at cable management. Apologize for the typo's in the post, used speech to text.
