Nice. So for $15 US you have a little dongle that you plug into the HDMI
port to make it think it has a real HDMI display attached. It's actual
purpose is that many servers are run headless and folks screen share to
them only to discover the default display resolution is very low. This
tricks the machine into running at high resolution because it thinks
there is a screen there. For the MacMini issue of bogging down with no
screen attached this is a perfect and fairly cheap solution. Here is the
Amazon link:

and here is the manufacturer's link:

The Fit-Headless is the HDMI adaptor; it plugs into the HDMI port and has no
other end. Presumably if you wanted to use a telly you could without one of
these; the whole point is to avoid the silly performance degradation that
results from having no monitor attached at all. And of course audio comes from
the usual audio jack or speakers; the device doesn't output anything itself.
HTH.
