Mac Mini with an M4 chip

2024-12-25 Thread Tibor Niesner
Hello everyone, I think that I would like to try the Mac Mini M4 in a basic configuration. I have a Macbook Pro with an M1 Pro chip. I got it 2 years ago. I had this idea because of the macOS support. I do not know how long my Macbook Pro will be supported. And I want to try this Mac Mini

It shouldn’t matter what architecture you were using in the past, because all your binaries are (or are likely to be, by now) so-called “fat” (“Universal”) binaries with support for both Apple Silicon and Intel. Any Intel-only apps will run under Rosetta. Your Time Machine backup no longer conta

I’ve never had any Mac other than a Mac mini. I haven’t tried to use my iPhone as a camera or mic yet but I’m considering trying it. the only thing I have to offer is that I successfully used a pair of After Shockz headphones as a Mic. they cut out the external speakers and then you can press
