@macandi@social.heise.deDank Foxconn: Mac mini künftig (auch) „made in Texas“
Nach Druck durch die Trump-Regierung, mehr Apple-Produkte in der Heimat herstellen zu lassen, kommt nun auch der Mac mini in die USA. Das erledigt Foxconn.

@kubikpixel@chaos.social«Technikfolgen — KI außer Rand und Band: OpenClaw verwüstete Postfach von Metas KI-Sicherheitschefin
"Ich musste zu meinem Mac Mini laufen, als würde ich eine Bombe entschärfen"»
Ich kann nicht mehr aufhören schadenfreudig zu gröhlen (roh lachen), da populäre KI anscheinend so "klug" und "nützlich" sein soll. Im Ernst, nutzt nicht jegliche Tools mittels blindes vertrauen.
🤣

@tinoeberl@mastodon.onlineIch finde es gut, dass #Führungskräfte jetzt neuerdings selbst mit #KI ihre Daten zerlegen.
Ob sie etwas dadurch lernen?
@joe@toot.worksSome day, I want to dump $10k into my home server infrastructure ... and not just because it's estimated to take 22hr to copy files from the mac mini to the windows server.
@andycarolan@social.lolSo, I have #Discord on my Mac, but I can't use it because it's unbelievably slow. I mean, unusable.
My Mac is an M2 Pro Mac Mini, and has no problem with anything else. Anyone have any thoughts?
Web version is ok, but limited in some ways.

I don’t even trust myself to do those things before 9am most days!
I just do not think I can be convinced I need a “digital assistant” in my life or on my computers (with elevated permissions, no less). https://mastodon…
@niqdanger@social.linux.pizzaI got a 9" LCD panel and HDMI board from AliExpress to put in the Mac SE/30 case. The other screen I have is a 1/4" too wide so I can't close the case up. It just arrived and I unboxed it. First, it smells. Second, it has a mini HDMI plug, and I don't have an adapter. Second problem easily fixed, part will be here tomorrow. But why does it smell like chemicals? Hopefully it airs out over the next few hours or something.

@Techmeme@techhub.social"Claws" is becoming a term to describe OpenClaw-like agent systems that usually run on personal hardware and are a new layer on top of LLM agents (Andrej Karpathy/@karpathy)

@gadgetboy@gadgetboy.socialOpenClaw is What Apple Intelligence Should Have Been
Yep.
I run my instance on Ubuntu Server in a Proxmox VM in my home lab, but it would be nice to take advantage of some of the Apple-specific workflows on a dedicated Mac Mini.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioI'm not into audiophile stuff btw, just decent quality things really.
For example, I have a pair Bose 901 speakers that are ~50 years old and they sound fantastic.
But it's not even that, if properly engineered even stuff which hasn't the primary purpose of sound reproduction can sound good.
My 15-year old Apple Thunderbolt Display, the 8-year old iPad Pro and the 5-year old Mac Book Pro all sound great.
But—
The speakers in my 2025 LG TV? They shouldn't have bothered installing them but instead put them right into a landfill.
Speakers in my Asus gaming monitor? Like someone dragging a nail on a chalkboard.
And, weirdly, the Apple HomePod mini is pretty bad at reproducing music. A 10-year old Bose SoundLink mini beats the pants of it. 🤷

@trezzer@social.linux.pizzaExtremely frustrated with #Backblaze today. They actively block restores to non-Apple formats on a Mac - even natively supported ones like ExFAT. I explicitly want to restore to non-Apple format to achieve platform agnosticism. Now I have 8 TB stuck in their cloud and have to decide which bothersome way outside my elderly Mac Mini server I want to struggle with in order to get my data back.…
@axbom@axbom.me @rasterweb@mastodon.socialIt is 2026 and I am posting this toot from my 2014 Mac mini running Monterey and LibreWolf. 4 gigs of RAM is a little paltry but it works.
@axbom@axbom.me @Techmeme@techhub.socialTencent Cloud, DigitalOcean, and Alibaba Cloud add OpenClaw support, giving users access to the AI agent service; many OpenClaw users run it on a Mac mini (Simon Sharwood/The Register)

@trezzer@social.linux.pizzaI wonder if it is just an effect of old hardware, but boy, the new @… OS release is a crashfest on my 2011 Mac Mini. The App Center crashed on me at least 7 times before I had enough and downloaded Zorin (because I’ve also wanted to give that a spin). It looked very nice, though, and it’s nice that Flatpaks show up now by default.
