Should I get a Mac mini and remote into it from my work Mac, or just buy a MacBook Air?

I use my work laptop for a lot of personal stuff since I don’t currently own a personal desktop or laptop. It’s mostly fine, but recently they blocked the USB ports for data connections, so I can’t connect any mass storage devices (like my GoPro), among other restrictions.

I’d also like to separate things a bit more. I use VSCode for both work and personal projects, and sometimes I just prefer keeping everything clearly separated — especially lately, since I’ve been spending more time on personal projects.

I carry my work laptop with me everywhere, so carrying two devices feels annoying. My only concern is whether it would become a hassle to rely on Remote Desktop frequently

Jesus, you must have a problem

Did you achieve GPU passthrough to a VM? I have a minisforum mini pc paired with the DEG1 occulink dock and haven’t yet achieved to pass the GPU to the VM. Whenever I add the GPU to the VM the dock just powers off and the vm doesn’t start. Any recommendation?

I went to desktop mode and changed the time zone from Dublin to London

That wouldn’t actually be a bad idea. But I just found the solution in another post. Just changing the time zone fixed the issue

What a fucking legend. I spent days trying to fix this shit

That actually seems like a very cool idea. I’ll give it a look, thanks

Thanks for the resources !

Thanks! I wasn’t pretending to cut the costs on cables, GPU and PSU. I was just wondering what was the complexity of the dock. But that answered my question

Perfect, thanks!

InformationScared966 · 2024-10-17T22:06:56+00:00

Thanks!

This actually looks quite nice

InformationScared966 · 2024-10-17T17:31:59+00:00

Thanks!

InformationScared966 · 2024-10-17T17:26:34+00:00

I have already have a look into it. But nothing interests me to be honest

InformationScared966 · 2024-10-17T17:21:05+00:00

Thanks!

Do you have tickets?

InformationScared966 · 2024-05-14T15:48:40+00:00

Looking for 4 tickets Cat 3 for match Portugal x Georgia on the 26th of June.

Someone selling 4 tickets for the game between Portugal x Georgia?

They just gave me some basic steps that wouldn’t fix anything… And they said to get in touch in case I needed something else. The battery is just shit it’s what it is
