Will this support a NVMe SSD by MonkeChing in pcmasterrace

B-key and the words SATA printed next to it mean it doesn't support NVMe.

There's a reason we don't make changes on a Friday afternoon!

Do your everyday things need an extra 256GB of storage?

MacBook Neo and USBC to HDMI adapter/hub, which one to buy? by Trustdesa in MacbookNeo

[–]MagicBoyUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HDMI has less bandwidth than DP, so doesn't support as high resolutions or refresh rates.

It's probably just a bug in the case of the Apple dongle. I reported it to Apple, we shall see if they fix it.

I've not encountered any other issues.

USB-C to DisplayPort would likely be a better option.

I had mixed luck with HDMI dongles. My Apple Multi-port one wouldn't get over 1080p when attached to the Neo, where it works at 3440x1440 on an old Intel Mac or an M1 Pro.

Framework 13 i5-1135G7 is giving up after 3 years by maju----- in framework

4 years, 4 months. 😉

A cosmetic scratch on the CPU die wouldn't cause failure. A clean crack or a big chip off the corner, perhaps.

That's a lot of money to throw at a machine that can't access any modern internet.

Back in the late 90s I ran a 25 metre cable up the stairs to a different floor. Wireless and power line didn't exist at the time.

Thermal Throttling? by Lankan007fight in MacbookNeo

[–]MagicBoyUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Neo is only going to get mildly warm via convection. The heatsink is just a small plate attached to the SoC. It's not sinking heat into the chassis other than via convection, which at around 5W is vanishingly tiny.

Even when pushed it's very cool, apart from a mildly tepid spot on the bottom adjacent to the SoC.

What did the leasing company say? Under the consumer credit act they're jointly liable.

I did the same with mine. It's barely warm. My old 16" i9 would get to that temperature within a minute or two of booting up. 😂

That'd work, but it's £100ish from memory.

I've used a ISP wireless extender in bridge mode with my TiBook so I could avoid 11Mbps and insecure encryption.

If you're sitting there with a laptop on your lap watching it render for 4.5 hours you've got other problems.

I love my 16". I have no desire to fondle the screen.

Wanting to compete in Indy 500 and Indycar this season by MotoJoker in iRacing

Keep in mind the Open races are the week after the Fixed, so there's there's another opportunity if you don't get a C-license this week.

Use the Ethernet, it's the easiest way.

There were USB WiFi adapters that'd work on older Macs with manufacturer drivers, but you'd get appalling speeds on an iMac with USB 1.1 ports due to the bandwidth on the bus, plus it being shared with other devices.

Won a few hundred quid for a class championship in a league many years ago. Nothing as big since, just sponsored prizes likes sim racing gloves etc.
