  • How to upgrade the SSD in your M4 Mac mini

    murrayschmurraysch
    I bought a Thunderbolt 4 enclosure and a 4 TB Samsung SSD for under $400.  The speed is ~90% of the internal and I've used symbolic links to offload some larger ~/Library folders along with my Music & Photos libraries.  It's working like a charm!

    Pro tip, I used conductive tape to stick the SSD to the back of my Studio Display stand so it can act like a large heat sync 😎

  • Apple MagSafe Battery Pack Review: Great, but controversial

    murrayschmurraysch
    Regarding charging the battery pack with a MagSafe charger, if you take a look at the magnets on an iPhone12, you'll notice that they are oriented with the north pole to the outside of the ring and south pole to the inside.  MagSafe cases are the same.  https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/gZCD5IGDKL4eXp4L.full

    In order to stick to the back of the iPhone/case, every accessory, including the MagSafe battery pack and the MagSafe charger, needs to be the opposite; south pole to the outside, north pole to the inside.  

    Therefore, there's no way to make a MagSafe charger that would stick to the back of an iPhone12 and the MagSafe battery pack.
