Apple sagt, dass die Versorgungsbeschränkungen für Mac mini und Mac Studio mehrere Monate wegen KI anhalten werden #mac #apple

Another round of dev betas for Apple’s OS 27. I’ve done this Mac Mini, Done my iPhone 15 PM, the Apple TV 4Ks, and now I’m doing anApple Watch Ultra 3.

Suger på en 2,8% tallboy och lägger upp en webdav server på hemmaservern. Det är magiskt bad en mac mini från 2014 klarar idag. Lite ubuntu & en fräsh ssd gör verkligen susen

Mac mini price for lowest-end model is now 33% more than literally last week (starting at $799 now).
Thanks, AI!

So apparently Apple is now selling the Mac Mini under scalpers rules; had a client suprise me with 4 new hires, & I couldn’t buy 4 Mac Minis; I had to buy 1 Mac Mini at a time over 4 days. 😂
(Have machines on order via the Apple Business store to restock inventory, but they’re still 2 weeks out)

Base model Mac mini: 1½ months lead time
High-end Mac mini: 3 months lead time
Base model Mac Studio: 1 month lead time
High-end Mac Studio: entirely unavailable
It was easier to buy toilet paper during the height of COVID than to buy a Mac now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is anybody using, or considering using, ngscopeclient on an ARM64 platform?
Would Debian aarch64 be a platform worth adding to CI and officially supporting? I think I can probably run it as a VM on the mac mini.
But I'm not sure what's out there that actually has the GPU horsepower to perform well. Like, I think somebody tried to build it on a raspberry pi and it *worked* but I'm not sure how useful it would be on something so limited.

Schon zuvor gab es bestimmte Desktop-Mac-Varianten nicht mehr oder mit langer Wartezeit. Einige sind nun temporär ganz gestrichen.

Progress! Sorted out a bunch of permissions issues and I'm now able to (over SSH) clone a template VM on the mac mini and launch it.
Now to set up a script to actually run the test suite.
I've written more bash than any other language the last week or so and I don't like it lol. But it had to be done...

I have the servers "Delores" (built to be a killer AI) and "Teddy" (a headless Mac Mini). The other day, I spun up a new server and had to think about what to name it. I went with "Elsie".

macOS 27 Beta 2 downloaded and installed on this M3 MacBook Air, and we’re up and running OK. Let’s see what bugs I can find and report as we go through the day. Mind you, I’ll probably switch to my Mac Mini later on. I don’t expect to sit outside all day.

Great, I need a desktop computer and apparently it’s the worst time in years to buy a computer because AI hype.
Apple’s desktop stuff is basically unavailable (1-3 months lead time).
Anyway, does anyone in the US have maybe a M4 Mac mini lying around that I could buy so I can bridge the time to when Apple fixes their supply chain issue? DM me!
(Also, no, I won’t switch to Linux so no need to reply with that.)

Wow, I was speccing out a Mac Mini for a client and if I wanted to get more than 24GB RAM, it’s 10-12 WEEKS estimated delivery.
I played with it and there were configurations that wouldn’t ship until AUGUST.
🤯🤷🏻‍♀️

I think that I figured out how to SSH from my iPad to my Mac Mini over meshnet. The problem was that settings missing in the Mac meshnet app were present in the Windows app, and once I flipped those, all was well. I shouldn't need a Windows machine sitting around on my network. Grr.

Perhaps I am becoming a minority. I much prefer to write, blog, and use social media on my MacBook or Mac Mini than I do on my iPhone. I usually only do quick stuff on the phone, though I did buy a folding keyboard so I can use it more easily when out and about. I’m almost always more interested in MacOS software than iOS.

I just did a deep-level virus scan of my M4 Pro Mac Mini. Took a little while, but there were 1.3m files in total.
