I was looking for this question before to buy a windows mechanical keyboard, specifically I got the HyperX Alloy Origins Core, but I didn't find information about it.

M4 Mac mini 40% slower than 3 year old M1 Pro ?
by Guest /u/hearme100- 0 replies

So I have M1 Pro MacBook Pro (16GB Memory and 1TB SSD) and I just picked up a brand new base M4 Mac Mini (16GB Memory and 256GB SSD) mainly to render videos using Davinci Resolve. Based on everything I have seen. The newer M4 chip should be faster or similar in performance than 3 year old M1 Pro Chip. But in my real world use case its performing terribly on the new M4 Mac mini. Note I have updates software on both MacBook Pro and MacMini to macOS Sequoia 15.1. Reference: Apple M4 (10-Core) vs M1 Pro: performance comparison These are the video rendering results I am getting using Davinci Resolve 19.1 on both machines: M1 Pro Mac Pro Rendered in: 8:58 | 8:55 - …

Can I plug in an external keyboard to my liquid damaged Mac for data transfer?
by Guest /u/milkybqbex- 0 replies

Title is as it says, my mac has liquid damage and the motherboard is screwed. I can’t even log in because the keyboard is acting like I’m holding the option key down. I want to get everything (including apps) off of my old Mac onto my new one. Would plugging in an external keyboard work here or not? submitted by /u/milkybqbex [link] [comments]

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/yRQfjXMDCTU2DE_9xhiAu-NouS1-cnmJJ8MQyK7qCRg.jpg So even I was impressed about how well many apple devices connect together. I have currently connected and used 3 Macs and 2 iPads with a single keyboard and mouse. So the main system is my Mac Studio M2 Ultra. This is connected to a monitor and also via USB-C to lightning connected to my gen 1 12.9 iPad Pro for sidecar with Apple Pencil gen1 . Located under the screen so I can use as touch screen with the pencil as well. Then there is my MacBook Pro M3 Max.

MB Air M3 - Monitor and drives disconnecting - anyone else?
by Guest /u/_qqg- 0 replies
- 2 views
I recently got a MacBook Air M3 (less than two months old), and it's been working great overall. However, I've run into an issue in my office setup: I connect an external monitor and a USB-C hub (external drives and Time Machine backups attached). The problem is that while I'm typing, I occasionally bump into the connected cables with my left hand. This didn't happen as much with my previous MacBook Air M1 because the usb ports were further back towards the hinge. Now, with the added MagSafe connector shifting the USB-C ports forward, the connections are easier to brush against. When this happens, my external monitor sometimes flickers as if it's being disconnected,…

Have a semi old MacBook Pro that's 6 years old - I do a lot of video editing and have noticed specifically in the last 6 months how slow it's moving. Is there any (preferably... affordable of course) upgrades I can add to the computer to make it run faster? Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/Straight-Roll7621 [link] [comments]

MacBook Air M1 is activation locked to my old Apple ID Email. Can I solve this?
by Guest /u/Mysterious_County154- 0 replies
- 4 views
My M1 Air has been in storage for atleast a year and in that time I changed the email connected with my Apple ID (but it's still technically the same Apple ID) and today I went to charge it so I could reset it and give it to a friend, reinstalled macOS and now I am stuck at activation lock as the Mac is still seeing my old Apple ID Email as the lock. I have tried my current Apple ID password with the old email and no dice. Any advice would be helpful submitted by /u/Mysterious_County154 [link] [comments]

M4 multi core utilization
by Guest /u/twalker294- 0 replies
- 5 views
The primary heavy lifting tasks that I use my Mac for are video editing and photo editing. I have been considering switching away from Premiere Pro to FCP or Resolve so tonight I was benchmarking each one. In doing so I noticed that none of them are utilizing anywhere near all cores in my machine (base M4 mini,) and FCP isn't even utilizing the GPU at all. I would think that video export would be one thing that would utilize as many cores as possible in order to finish the export as quickly as possible. When I am exporting with Premiere on my Windows PC it is utilizing 100% of every core as well as 90-100% of my GPU. However despite this my Mac is still faster than my PC …

Finally going to retire the 4,1->5,1 Mac Pro

I've been using this Mac Pro for a really long time. Bought CTO as 3.33Ghz quad core that came with either Leopard or Snow Leopard (I should look for that old install disc) and a 30"ACD, and updated it to 6-core and GTX 980Ti, Blu-Ray burner and more, as far as High Sierra 10.13.6 with 144.0.0.0.0. It's been great, but I finally broke down and got a Mac Mini M4 Pro, CTO 14/20 core, 64GB RAM, 1TB storage, and a new Dell U4025QW monitor. The main reason for moving on is that on the rare...

Help with firmware update
by Guest zibonst1- 0 replies
- 8 views
Hello, I am trying to install a fresh OS (High Sierra) in recovery on my MP 5,1 late 2009. The OS install screen says I need a firmware update first and then explains how to do this (holding the power button, the tones, etc). When I do this it restarts and it doesn’t appear to have done anything. It just tries to boot to the drive, which has a faulty OS on it (which gives me the prohibitory symbol) which is why I’m trying just install a fresh OS. How can I get this firmware update installed... Read more Source: MacRumors

Sometimes I wake up much later than my alarm time but see my phone on this screen with no sound, does that mean I slept through my alarm or that there

I’m confused whether it glitched out and didn’t make a sound or that I was in a very deep sleep that I never heard the sound and it stopped ringing lol. submitted by /u/Fayde_M [link] [comments]
