I know this is a known (and apparently longtime) issue, so I'm just adding my voice to the chorus.

Hi everyone! I recently picked up a new M1 Mac Mini and, while the machine is fast as hell, I'm having some strange issues with USB. First I noticed that my USB printer would randomly disconnect and, even after a reboot, wasn't detected until I unplugged and replugged it in. Then I noticed a...

I recently had a bad-luck cluster in myt life, including my 2010 Mac Pro finally giving up. The repair would cost more so I went on the Bay and found a nice 2018 with 512gb SSD abd 32GB RAM, more than I've ever had. The bad-luck cluster also included a second back surgery (successful). So I...

My Mac mini M1 is having this issue randomly (some times). It suddenly loses its internal Wireless Adapter (seems like there is no wireless adapter present). The Mac mini M1 eventually crashes, then again (endless loop). If I enter into Hardware Diagnostics, it fails due to No Internet...

I’ve been researching this new M1 Mac mini 16 GB RAM and I’m curious how much of a difference I’ll actually see while using it vs my current i7 2017 MacBook Pro 16 GB RAM.

I've recently upgraded to a Mac Mini with M1 chip, I love it, but... it will not recognise any SD card I throw at it, either through a camera USB cable or through the USB type C card reader. I've tried everything I can think of. I've checked all the boxes in Finder preferences, re-named cards...
