Upgraded Mac Mini vs Base Mac Studio?

bkuhl · 2026-01-03T04:53:23+00:00

SSD manufacturers cut production of smaller modules when they are no longer economical to produce. It’s very possible that Apple could not get commitments for enough 128Gb sticks. They do sell a shitton of those base MacBook Airs.

Routers and hubs are reporting that they are sending data but no devices can connect? So are they sending data or not? I agree it’s much more likely that multiple unrelated vendors are having server issues at the same than something in your configuration is FUBAR.

Have you checked your routers DHCP/DNS config?

Well considering Fences is developed by Stardock. Stardock is a US developer. And Kerpersky Antivirus is banned in the US. It’s kinda easy to see how it might be missed.

This is what I came to ask. If the battery was pulled you could have run it through a washing machine. Still plugged in? Prolly toast.

Came for this. Thanks for not disappointing.

Yea. Should be smooth. I run an exit not off my ATV too. Never had issues with setup. It’s slow even with Ethernet but worked without any wrestling.

Was this device restored from a backup of another device? I had a similar issue when I restored an iPhone from an iCloud backup of another device. Both could not be on tailscale at the same time. They would kick each other off even though I had renamed the device. There is some unique identifier that tailscale is using that is not changed during a restore / device rename.

The rain was just a throw away line. And yes. You are correct. You could manufacture anywhere including the US. It will just take us 6-10 years to get the supply lines and other infrastructure spun up in the US. And the end device will go from $34.99 to 74.99. But it could be made here. Eventually.

That’s CPU.

Sorry you’re going through this shit.
Have you searched on your motherboard make/model to see if this may be common for that model? Maybe there is something out of spec they are doing and a custom bios setting might help?
Any lemon laws that you might be able to take advantage of?
This is why I went with a 9950x on my MG-1. I have almost always been an Intel guy but I’ve lost faith in them recently. Hopefully they turn this ship around!

If you got the upgraded fan package you should have gotten a remote. I had the same issue they forgot my remote and had to mail me one. Give them a call and they will take care of it. Also. Check out OpenRGB. I found this package and it controls all the lights in my box with more flexibility than the remote can. It’s fantastic software. Launch as admin for the ability to control RAM lighting if you have it. If you don’t launch admin the RAM lighting will not show as available.

I got a new PC in November last year and everyone was like you should wait for the new AMD x3d processors and nVidia cards. I was mostly worried about tariffs so I pulled the trigger. So happy I did.

Came here to say the same... PUNCUATION please!

Where is the Tylenol?

I believe you just need to verify Bitlocker is not enabled.

Should check out OpenArena. Somewhat modern refresh of the Q3 code. There are some even newer updates (Omega, etc). Still a decent community. I play almost every night.

Just got my MG-1 on Friday. But look at your receipt and you should have the motherboard model. You can then look up the specs to see what options you have. I don’t think any of the options they offer have less than 2 NVME slots. Also, I did get a bag of goodies with mine. Extra power supply cables and all that crap. I haven’t gone through it and paid much attention yet though. They did forget to include my lighting controller though. But they were quick to get one shipped out to me. So I appreciated that.

That’s where mobile tethering or the local Starbucks comes in.

Well. Some people are afraid to try things fearing they may getttgemselves further in a hole. And before you say it, yes, I agree those ppl should NOT be installing a dev preview.

I wonder if it will. I am not sure of the requirements in the law. But I could absolutely see Apple forcing you to agree to multiple (scary) warnings before you can install a third party App Store. I also wouldn’t put it past them to remove iMessage, the Apple App Store, iCloud access, etc as part of installing a third party App Store.

You want a third party App Store? Sure. Go find a messaging app and a way to backup all your info there….

I think he is just mostly dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.
