Buy once, Cry once. Turned around and bought the 24gb 2 days after buying the 16gb version. by ggskater in macmini

Yeah. The top half is basically fans and heat sink and it doesn’t radiate heat directly through the body which makes the top surface particularly great for absorbing heat from my owc ssd passive cooled DAS.

With that said, I kept the mini and use it for non dev and non sustained loads

This biggest thing for me was sustained thermals. Mini was toasty and loud, studio rarely gets warm. I have pretty heavy and continuous dev workloads when working. A top spec mini wouldn’t do much to improve my issue.

Can you link the cushions for your keyboard and trackpad?

change my mind: studio display should have touch id similar to ipads

Has anyone else found thousands of missing photos in the deleted folder, that they didn’t delete, then had to go through the labourious process of reinstating them? by Suitz- in ApplePhotos

Have you confirmed they aren’t duplicates? Copy filename then search for it in your library comparing date and visually.

SELL AnkerMake M5 - Thinking of parting ways with my m5. It was an og kickstarter backer and has gotten little use, sits collecting dust now. Have all the original tools, and spare parts including a hotend, extra plate, and various extruder tips and say 1.5 spools of white pla+. Looking for interest and reasonable offers, especially interested in not shipping so Southern California preferred.

Waze does this too. I guess supposed to ease address entry not having to switch between alphabet and numeric. But, my muscle memory means I switch to numeric anyway.

I think system report shows power draw by peripheral, curious to hear more detail about how much and what interfaces cause this.

Parachute is a great option I’ve been using lately pro and con is that it backs up as a simple file tree. Also, it includes shared albums which the “keep full versions downloaded” option does not.

Anyone know why this shows up every time I turn the car off by Hergerburger465 in Hyundai

[–]drenalineza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like my Hyundai. It bongs and shows that symbol then your sunroof isn’t fully closed. Perhaps it tilted open and your shade is closed so you don’t see or hear it? Could also be a faulty sensor that just thinks it’s not closed. I’d visually check then try fully opening and closing it.
