    Base M1 Mac Mini in 2024.

    I’ve been looking at a refurbished M1 Mac Mini, does anyone still currently have one and how is it running? I don’t need anything more than the base model as it’ll only really be used for light gaming and work. Is it worth to buy for around ~$350 or should I get a refurbished M2 or wait for the...

    New 2020 13” MacBook Pro M1 frequent kernel panics

    I bought a MBP m1 a few months ago and it restarted due to a kernel panic so I gave it to apple’s repair center. After a few weeks, they told me that it has been repaired. So I picked it up, but I left without testing my MBP thoroughly since I had to travel to a different country due to work. So...

    Are malware scanner/blockers necessary or even helpful in 2021?

    I am currently using Malwarebytes and the price for a subscription isn't too bad. But obviously, any price is too much if the app can't actually do anything about the worst malware out there. And another question is if I am even in danger, considering that I'm just using this Mac privately, as...

    Massive RAM Usage in MBP

    I know that this topic (heavy RAM usage in M1 Macs) has already been discussed, but nobody posted any RAM numbers in posts that I saw. I have recently transitioned from a Windows computer, to an M1 MacBook Pro. Activity Monitor is saying that I am using 5.97 Gb/8Gb of RAM with only a few tabs...

    M1 iMac is Consumer Grade but Are There No Consumer Grade 40Gb/s Drives?

    I just recently bout my send M1 Mac, the 2021 iMac. It has two Thunderbolt 3 - USB 4 ports which claim speeds up to 40Gb/s. However, when looking for an external SSD that can support those speeds, I am really only finding drives with those speeds at prices higher than a Mac. Are there really no...

    Safari can't establish a secure connection

    Hopefully this is a good place to put this. I have a MacBook Air M1 and am trying to use Safari to access different .mil sites. Some of them, such as OWA email and iPERMS give me the error that a secure connection can't be established. This only happens sometimes. Occasionally, I am able to...

    M1 Mac mini / Pink squares appeared on monitor

    Has anyone experienced this issue? First time seeing it since I received my Mac mini last Tuesday. The pink squares showed up after booting the computer and would only appear when opening a folder or doing a right click on the desktop. I then changed the wallpaper and they instantly disappeared.

    This is huuge! 32bit Windows apps on M1 Macs. (spoiler: even Witcher 3)?!

    Needs Big Sur 11.1 beta "I can't tell you how cool that is; there is so much emulation going on under the covers. Imagine - a 32-bit Windows Intel binary, running in a 32-to-64 bridge in Wine / CrossOver on top of macOS, on an ARM CPU that is emulating x86 - and it works! This is just so cool."...

    M1 Macs external display + sidecar

    Hey, Some people have been saying that the new macs will only support one external display, but there's been no clear information whether that includes an iPad in sidecar mode or not. Can anyone with the new M1 mac check that and confirm? I've really been wanting to get one, but if having an...
