[@BookFanBudgets]

Sooooo don't kill me but I have an M1 Mac that I use daily (generally for low-intensity projects). I live in an area where we get huge thunderstorms, so my husband and I both power off our Macs and unplug them when a storm hits. I don't care what else in the house gets fried -- I need my computer! Sometimes I have just enough time to do "shut down" and then unplug it super quickly before the house is shaking from the storm.

[@rileybaker8294]

You need a surge protector (they’re cheap and easy to buy) or ideally a UPS.

[@davideloi9176]

​@@rileybaker8294still better to unplug the device. I do the same every time there is a storm. Some years ago one single lightning fried 3 tvs in my house.

[@BookFanBudgets]

@@davideloi9176 Yep. This is how we got here. A single strike hit my house when we lived in a different city, and despite having APS units everwhere, it fried our TV, a window AC unit, and our HVAC system and the thermostat attached to it. The thermostat was speaking jibberish. Because it was an act of God, we submitted a homeowner's insurance claim (the total was like $13k).

[@paulharrison8379]

The M2 Mac Mini with only 256 Gb of flash memory has the slowest SSD in any of the Apple Silicon Macs because it is implemented using a single 256 Gb flash module. This means that we are now in the interesting situation where the 256 Gb 8 Gb M2 Mac Minis are being sold off very cheaply. They are being sold for only £400 by several outlets including Apple refurbished. If it fell to £250 on this Black Friday then I might be interested in buying one. This is the price that I normally buy my as new iPhones for.

[@EnglishMike]

Nice computer, but $200 for another 256GB storage and $200 for another 8GB memory is a complete rip off. It's amazing they keep getting away with daylight robbery. I do need an Apple device for web development and testing, but if I get a Mac Mini, then if I need more storage, a $60 T1 external SSD is much better value for money than spending another $400 for the internal upgrade.

[@altosack]

While we know what you mean, it has 256 GB, not Gb. “Gb” is only used when denoting line speed, where it is also used improperly since it _means_ Gb/s, not Gb. The only way “Gb” makes any sense is if it means Gigabaud.

[@viewssoundsmedia]

We are looking into the same thing. I think we are gonna swap our main rig (5950x - 3090) to the Mac mini M4 pro. If it doesn't work out, Apple is generous on returns and we can wait for the m4 Max Studio. I honestly think the M4 Pro will do the job, but fall in some other areas. Like noise reduction on 6k BRAW clips and super heavy effects. But the small foot print and efficiency is so tempting.

[@DaveLarose3]

DON'T TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF EVERY DAY! The bulk of electronic component wear is from heating, and cooling of the ICs, and other components. This is easily avoidable damage. Same goes for stereos and such... Thermal Expansion: Different materials expand and contract at different rates. Repeated heating and cooling can cause mechanical stress at the junctions between materials, potentially leading to cracks or delamination. Fatigue: Over time, repeated temperature changes can cause fatigue in the materials, which can lead to failure. Solder Joint Reliability: ICs are often soldered to circuit boards, and thermal cycling can weaken these solder joints, increasing the risk of failure. Increased Leakage: Higher temperatures can increase leakage currents in transistors, which might affect performance and longevity.
