    I really need to upgrade storage of my Mac Mini M1

    It's been 6 days and already I've got a warning "storage almost full". My 3TB HDD sounds like a jet engine when powered on, and hangs up Finder when waking up from sleep, it's very annoying. I need a large storage device for casual use that is QUIET and will be connected to the back of the...

    Why does my Mac report my external SSD storage differently from my PC?

    Made the jump to an M1 Mini from an aging windows PC for my daily driver, and this caught my eye when I plugged in my external SSD that I use to store my music collection. On my PC, it says I have 170 GB free of 465 GB total storage - 48,434 total files. 290 GB total usage on disk. On my new...

    M1 Mini and FCPX performance question

    Considering an M1 for FCPX and trying to discern actual performance benefits. At present, if I import 4K footage from my Sony a6000, and bring it onto timeline, with the film strip view large, and play the timeline, I don’t always get the audio waveforms drawn in until I pause playback. It then...

    iPhone 12 iPhone 12 vs. Older iPhones

Here are some pictures of the iPhone 12mini along with the iPhone 4 to start with. Also this was my 5000th post. 12...

    Mac Mini M1: no user upgradability, right?

    I seem to understand that the RAM is part of the chip and therefore not upgradable. What about the SSD? If I order a 256GB and in a couple of years find that too small, what are the expansion options? Or you feel it's better do dump another 200 and go with 16GB+512GB from the start? (I am a...

    Other This is why I will not buy iPhone 12: OLED = PWM

    I just hate how Apple is not understanding How serious is the argument here. They still use OLED displays that use PWM to modulate brigtness, and so they flicker! 30/40% OLED Smartphone Owner's are claiming infact, eyestrain, headhace, nausea, dizziness, motion sickness, that is mainly caused by...

    Exploding Mac Mini 2012 power adapter

    Ok so this weird thing happened to me: My Mac Mini 2012 power supply kinda exploded... I needed the Mini on another station for the day so I unplugged it and (perhaps the mistake) took a random power cable. Connected everything, power on. Switching to the keyboard... BOOM The power cable...

    Multiple 2014 Mac Minis unresponsive after macOS High Sierra Installation

    Better sound?

    Helllo This might not be the right place to ask, but I don't know where else to go. I got the new Mac mini (yes, finally) but the sound on it is not great as you might know. I also got the Logitech Z-2300 speaker set that has great sound but my desk for the moment does not allow me to have...
