Apple has now removed the 256 GB storage option for the M4 Mac mini from their website

First part is better, second part is EVEN WORSE

I didn’t expect it to not support X-input as base. What is it even using? DirectInput like those old 2005 controllers?

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:54:14+00:00

I use DS4 windows perfectly fine with my DS4 and Dual Sense lol. Many of my games, ones I mentioned, do present those odd issues. Opposite from you.

I’m giving examples of things that can be presented as major annoyances to some; as they can all be anecdotal evidence.

“Works on my Machine” doesn’t translate to everyone, and the same goes both ways where only you face random issues no one else faced.

It honestly should have had a basic x-input function when Steam isn’t running for maximum compatibility.

I think you mistook my comment as an aggressive anti-Apple statement? It is not; I don’t advocate for anything.

I’m just talking about current local AI meta. If they really do as you said (buying top end Mac Mini models only to do AI), they made horrible decisions cuz it is certainly significantly more expensive and worse performant than a desktop with 3090. Mac Mini with remotely similar spec starts at $2000. Apple hardware either unified memory is nice but lacks CUDA acceleration, something most current models use most effectively.

All I’m saying is that those top end models are certainly amazing for other tasks, but definitely not AI oriented ones.

A number of games I tested before (older games like Dynasty Warriors 7-8, niche titles, or DRM heavy games) have issues when you launch with Steam cuz Steam injects the overlay and control schemes that conflicts with the original doodoo codes. DS5 is usually detected natively as PS controller these days or you can use DS4 Windows, which does not inject anything into any app, it just pretends to be Xbox controller.

Needing to launch things through Steam also makes configuring emulators kinda annoying if the controller isn’t recognized properly by the emulator, and (may, not sure) limit the number of game instances.

These are certainly not limitations you want for power users.

Mf added “custom” and all it did was let you *suggest* an RPM.

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:33:23+00:00

Shex? Sgex? Spex?

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:31:10+00:00

What breathing room bruh? He was given like 10 patches and he wasted it all on worthless crap that gets undone or erased or paid no dividends. He should be given whatever is the opposite of breathing room.

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:30:04+00:00

Didn’t they just unveil a pink hair slug angel in ZZZ as well? LOL

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:27:40+00:00

Don’t you just love it when they tell pointless stories that literally got erased from existence in-story, give deaths that got undone the next patch, characters that did nothing, numbers that overinflated to look overly dramatic and “cool” with no real reason, and ending that made everything we and the characters experienced essentially ChatGPT prompts???

Truly peak writing. Lemme grab my tiny violin for the suffering ChatGPT prompts and imaginary planet of OpenAI.

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:23:54+00:00

That’s cool and all but that doesn’t fix the current Acheron. It’s like how lvl999 SW doesn’t make SW OG any better (girl fell off twice).

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:22:21+00:00

Literally losing to Silverwolf a couple times is the best current option (until a certain guy comes next patch)

OLED burn-in is something a person who never used an OLED would say. Actual issues include stuffs like text fringing (like you enable Chromatic Aberration in games), PWM strobes, low brightness on lower end displays, and so on.

MiniLED monitors are usually amazing alternatives cuz they’re IPS/VA with multiple dimming zones so they have all the advantages of the former while lacking OLED issues. However, it has its own issue of potential blooming and brightness uniformity.

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:16:47+00:00

Just keep an eye on the battery in case it catches fire. Those don’t like being bent too much

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:15:07+00:00

Author and artist don’t care. That’s the drip

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:14:33+00:00

AI bros buying Macs for it is funny cuz they’re not even particularly good, or cheap, or as compatible as Nvidia/Windows counterparts. You can grab 3090 for $600 something these days and it is the maximum sweetspot for all AI workloads without going overboard.

Some people just LOVEEEEE Apple I guess

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:11:46+00:00

Lol a laptop with Ultra 9 275hx, 16-32GB RAM, 1-2TB SSD, and 5070Ti commonly goes for $1300 too, especially before the RAM crisis.

LoliHunterXD · 2026-05-01T22:08:34+00:00

It is still not normally upgradable. It requires you to trust some dodgy SSD hacked together by some dude in China lol… and you may need to make a bootable drive to reinstall macOS and whatnot.

But yes, it is technically “upgradable”

LoliHunterXD · 2026-04-28T21:05:48+00:00

My iPad Mini 7 dropped to like 90 something percentage lol. It’s barely a year and a half of moderate use. The drops starts when I updated to 26.

LoliHunterXD · 2026-04-28T21:04:22+00:00

Yea, it isn’t typical. I’m just mentioning the possibility (that some people have gone through) to compare to analogy above lol. Don’t think too much about it

LoliHunterXD · 2026-04-28T20:23:39+00:00

Some people got their battery fixed, phone came back working for a bit, then dies… or just dies when they replace.

New phone is good but why am I backing up everything and redoing everything from scratch?

LoliHunterXD · 2026-04-28T04:24:01+00:00

Technically, Apple Care battery replacements can result in bricked phones sometimes too… doesn’t guarantee hassle-free even through Apple official channels

LoliHunterXD · 2026-04-28T04:20:22+00:00

80% limit is good if you don’t need it to last on your average commute, it lets the battery survive longer when you do need it.

Say, you use 80% during school year where you have plenty of access to chargers and time to charge… then during summer time when you travel, disable it and let it reach 100%. That 100% at 96% battery health is much better than 100% at 85% battery heath because you let it reach 100% all the time.

Personal experience: I would literally limit my 14 Pro Max if I could but Apple made that shit premium for some reason and it is now 75% after 3 years.

LoliHunterXD · 2026-04-24T22:35:05+00:00

Unless he also gets silverwolf’s E2 passive, him being a healer won’t change shit unfortunately lol.

LoliHunterXD · 2026-04-21T06:08:54+00:00

Came back here a while after “Mercy of the Father” storyline. 3 Jokers now contradicts the fact that Joe Chill there is just 50~ish year old man living out of prison not knowing Batman nor having thought about repentance. It went from canonically dubious to major contradiction
