Get another m1 Mac mini ,probably used one and set a dual Mac cluster. Cheapest solution .

Got Xbox one x controller in Jan 2023 and redgear pro in April 2022. Xbox one developed stick drift and nothing I tried fixed it. Redgear one is still working fine. Ordered Cosmicbyte Stellaris that has Hall effect sensors. When I had Xbox One, had two controllers that were rock solid for good 2...

if there is iCloud and/or Time Machine backup, recovery is super easy. MacOS has internet based reinstall of OS, IIRC. You can use recovery mode to setup APFS filesystem and then initiate OS installation. Once that is done, use iCloud backup to restore or use Time Machine for local restore.

Not sure how big your code is. In the world of micro services, I rarely see code compile going beyond 5-10 minutes. For local deployments, you don't have to use heavy data for testing, right? You just need small set of data to test. No one replicates production environment at same scale. With...

This NAND replacement hack is not new. There are modders who did this with current crop of Apple Silicon Macs. How well it works and how safe it is, they will never reveal. Probably this is just like all those 'street food vidoes where person puts everything at hand into one and tops it with...

But it is custom SSD that only Apple will have. Not clear whether they will let users replace SSD with bigger storage through official channels. Hope they allow this going forward.

Have to be applied with caution and make sure the gel doesn’t enter grill or block mic. Peeling off is very easy. Waste of money as it chips or cracks easily.

The acquisition that is discussed about is fab business, not the entire company. They do have a solid winner in laptops (Lunar Lake) that will cover midrange and low end for sure. AMD is beating them left and right in every other industry. Given how big laptop market is, Intel better not lose...

Won’t happen. Will be blocked by feds as it will create monopoly.

There are strong rumours now that Samsung may takeover Intel foundry business. Multiple foundries construction across Europe are now delayed. I kind of get feeling that entire company is in panic mode. Number of employees at Intel is more than number of employees at Arm AMD Nvidia and TSMC...

This is unbelievable. 9800x3D in handful of games has higher 1% framerate higher than Intel's average framerate. And it is doing this while consuming nearly half the power and maintains lower temps. The sooner Intel realizes that 'quality trumps quantity', they will recover. They are going for...

Sorry, my mad. I was under impression that Apple released M4 Air as well. If it is between M3 Air and M4 Pro, I would pick the M4 Pro as M3 is known to throttle.

Your requirement is too generic to decide between pro or max. M4 itself is bloody powerful. Mac air m4 will do for coding and occasional editing. Which apps are you going to use for ece and math? If your current laptop is able to run these and not hang or slowdown drastically, you won’t need a...

A month.

Spot on. They removed 8GB across the lineup. :D:D:D

Will you buy Mac mini with 128GB storage now if you know that it cannot be upgraded? 256GB will be in same state. See the screenshot above where I shared OS and system data size. Apple went from 10-12GB for bare OS to 25GB for Sequoia. Apps are getting heavier. 256GB will become obsolete just...

I took one with 1TB storage onboard so I keep most important albums in local storage. We open photos and videos very frequently, like every week, be it for school projects or just seeing kids photos or making collages for some occassions. Moreover, there are events in kids school for which I...

When used for productivity, 256GB is just not enough and we have to keep too much data into external SSD and whatever you do, it does not match the performance of onboard storage. Moreover, mine has 1TB and see that arrow. OS and System data itself is at 100GB. Moreover, we all know how reliable...

Nah,it is about 2.8L. This would be better than paying 2.8L for M4 MBP with 48GB of memory (unless you are sure that you will need 48GB of memory for your productivity). Is there an Apple Store nearby? Once they have display units of nano texture display MBP, give it a try once. Sidecar works...

Btw, I would rather go with M4 pro MBP with nano texture display and 48GB memory and keep base SSD storage. Then add apple care plus on it. Get a SSD external drive that can make use of thunderbolt speeds. I have seen that nano texture coating on iPad and it looks brilliant especially under...
