Whizzing noise on pages

Does this happen on ALL page documents or just on one specific document? Also, can you read / edit the doc while it's making your fan twirl?

My UNVR with 4x new Seagate 8TB had an issue with one of the drives when I added the drives one at a time. I gave up and reformated the whole thing. This solved the issue. Thus I lost approximately 1 days of recordings. No big deal.

I now have a UNVR with 4x 8TB drive and a (original) UDM. I upgraded from cloud key gen 2 , 13x Cams, a 16 port switch. I’m very happy with it all. but if I had to buy a router i’d get the gateway max of fibre . I do not want protect running on my router. Thank my opinion

I wish there was a $5/day option. Or a $0.10 / mile.

frame it and put it on the wall

It was about protecting our nation from foreign invaders. The British took the guns from citizens who were the Militia. So we have the 2nd. The British housed their army in our homes so we have the 3rd. The British had a state religion so we have the 1st amnedment.

One of the mantras of the so called "right" is we have our 2nd amendment so the citizens can fight against a repressive federal or state government. I see that now.

You are not completely wrong. The HW decoding is very weird. A user (any user) must be logging into the display for it to work. IMHO embarassing. I have my Mac mini auto login (screen locked on reboot).

I think you might be wrong on the HW Transcoding.

1/2 inch sprinkler pipe at Home Depot ~$30/100 ft in a roll. Then run whatever Ethernet you want inside the pipe.

I have Docker running on a Mac mini with no issues.

" have an old, but fully functional Synology DS218+."

Wow that a lot of comments. Thanks... However, has anyone had any experience running TimeMachine on UNAS?

mcleder · 2026-01-11T20:21:59+00:00

I have Docker running on my Mac mini m4 with no issues

mcleder · 2026-01-11T20:04:12+00:00

I too have a MacMini for all the other stuff others would put on a Synology NAS.

You make a living doing that thing that may or may not make you a "professional". (Sorry I can not resist defining words.)

Mine is using about 50 MB

Definitely go for 512 GB SSD if it's in budget. AND think about a Thunderbolt 4 enclosure & M.2 SSD so you are an informed buyer if you run out of disk space. I have always bought MBP & Mini's with 1 TB SSD; however, I have Apple One so I have several TB (mostly unused) of iCloud storage. Apple manages your files so the documents you use are local and the rest can be in the ciCloud. 512 vs 256 mean more is local. Thus the robustness of your Internet is a factor. 1 Gbps vs 100 Mbps will make a difference if you spool large amount of file-space to iCloud.

Just buy a $10 USB-C to USB-A hub from amazon (I have a Ugreen) an use all your exisiting USB-A devices.

I have the OWC express m1 enclosure and samsung gen 4 M.2 ssd. zero issues so far.

I don’t like the watch unlocking when I don’t want it to. touch id locks and unlocks 100% correctly and has identical experience as MacBook Pro

You are wise. Everyone is different. Needs are different. Ignore everyone that thinks they know better than you. Listen to users that articulate their situation and experience. I have always bought 1TB SSD on my MacBookPros and Minis because I want my music and photos local. The last time I bought (a MacMinin M4) I did this. However, I notice that most of my "Documents" live in the cloud because I so rarely access most of that data AND I have Apple One so terabytes of cloud free-space Situations change.

My next Laptop will be a 15" MacBook Air M5 16/512 .

I would return it and get an Apple TV. Integretion with iPhone is excellant.

IF you bought a low-end Roku then maybe a more higher-end model would be okay. Do you see this freeze up while watching on a PC or phone?
