An #apple #macmini M(something) might be a good idea for a home server ...

Well, seems that #AppleIntelligence has been a train wreck as #Siri was in its time.

There is hope for a quick turnaround? I don't think it will take months, but years. Until it happens, #Apple will remain very far beyond the rest of the pack: #ChatGPT, #Claude, #Copilot, #Gemini, you name them.

Dear Mastodon, I'm looking for an alternative to a #macmini that is arm based, runs #linux and is at a similar price point for the specs. Is this a #unicorn?

Third-party SSDs now also for Mac mini with M4 Pro

Apple makes its in-house SSDs expensive and does not offer any retrofitting options. Third-party providers are now also helping – with the M4 Pro.

Drittanbieter SSDs nun auch für Mac mini mit M4 Pro

Apple lässt sich seine hauseigenen SSDs gut bezahlen und bietet auch keine Nachrüstmöglichkeit. Third-Party-Anbieter helfen – jetzt auch beim M4 Pro.

'something is happening...'
updating to actual #Sequoia distro makes my #MacMini think that the secondary crappy 15inch bw #tube #monitor must be chosen one....
#CRT

I plan to buy a Mac Mini M4 in September 2025.
So please make any recommendations for a 4K 27" monitor (may be better) and a keyboard.

MacOS users, this question is for you!

Do you use your personal MacOS device as an admin user, or do you setup a standard user outside of the admin user and then just provide the admin username/password when needed?

#games #gaming #callofduty #warzone #nvidia #geforcenow #apple #mac #macos

I just tried out CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE on my little #macmini using Geforce Now game streaming. What can I say? It runs flawlessly using an XBox Gamepad ...

#games #gaming #bethesda #elderscrolls #eso

I remembered owning a #steam license of the game "The Elder Scrolls Online" so I reactivated the game and the account.

My poor little #apple #macmini i7 doesn't have any graphics capability but the game runs in 1080p barely well to test it again. Mouse and keyboard only, it seems. Tomorrow I will try to run it via #nvidia #geforcenow and I think the game may look a lot prettier then ... ;-)

@jsnell did you ever decide on replacing the m1 studio? Im on the fence of the m4pro mini vs the base m4 max stdio. Sure i could get a 48gb ram but you are basically at or over the studio price with less ports/cooling etc. Most are overkill for my needs but i plan to have this at least 5 years so it seems that even though base studio is 36gb ram bumping it up to to 48 requires a chip bump too. Work machine is m2max MacBook and i definitely dont want anything for personal that i would notice a slowdown. #macmini #macstudio #m4pro #m4max

Any recommendations for Mac Mini web cam? Looking at the Logitech MX Brio right now. Just for basic work meetings and training videos, nothing special.

Have an iMac right now, so looking for similar performance.
