- I saw the New Mac Mini on display
I love the idea of it, and I love how tiny it is. Will probably get one when money isnโt so tight.
But I was curious if the power button was accessible without lifting it. And it genuinely isnโt. Why does Apple like shoving important IO and buttons underneath the device. Good thing itโs light?
Oh and a funny thing was the staff had to loosen its mount on the table so you could turn it on.
- Macbook Pro battery draining overnight
I've got a 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 Macbook Pro (yes, the one with the touchbar and the keyboard nobody likes)...
Anyway, it's been working great, aside from this issue which seems to happen on occasion, when I don't keep it plugged in overnight. It will just drain real fast sometimes.
What causes batteries to just drain over the course of an hour or so?
- Made my iPhone 15 Pro Case's Notification Button textured. Very happy this worked.
So I got this case for my iPhone 15 Pro since it allowed it to lay flat. However the Volume and Notification buttons have no texture to them, making it difficult to tell which button is which when it's in a pocket.
So I had an idea. What if I heated a file with a heat gun. Then pressed it into the Notification button.
This was the result and I am very impressed. No way I will mistaken it with the volume rocker going forward.

- Loose iPhone 15 series USB-C port?

For context Iโm using an iPhone 15 Pro.

She has been firmly entrenched (she thinks) in Windows since forever, but in reality she has very little understanding of how or why anything works the way it does, and has a very hard time adapting to change and remembering new ways of doing things.

- [Snazzy Labs] The $600 Mac Mini is a StealโUntil Itโs a Scam
YouTube Video
Click to view this content.
I remember in 2007, buying my first MacBook. It came with an enormous 2gb of RAM. I asked about upgrading it. The guy leaned in conspiratorially and told me that Apple's RAM upgrades were a rip-off, and that I'd be better of buying it elsewhere. So I did, for half of what Apple were asking.
This is a grift that Apple have had for far too long, and there's a part of me that's convinced that their move to soldered RAM was to stop people upgrading after the fact more than it was about SOC efficiencies.

- Getting some weird screen glitches with new M4 Mac mini
Occasionally, I will get these vertical lines going down my screen and some flicker. Iโve had this problem with a thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable and an HDMI to HDMI cable. I also highly doubt itโs a monitor problem because itโs been working flawlessly in Linux and before that Windows.
Has anyone else experienced this? I also saw that Sequoia 15.1 released, not sure if this is a problem that Apple knows about thatโs fixed in the new version. Really hoping itโs not a hardware issue with my unit.
Edit: it seems to be a monitor issue? I switched my second, identical display to be my first and didn't see the issue after a couple hours of usage. But now I've started using that first monitor again as my second monitor and it hasn't had any corruption issues yet.
