[135.72 --> 140.58] I had an i9 model with a 5600M Radeon GPU in it. |
[140.66 --> 144.32] It was, you know, like a $4,000, $4,500 laptop. |
[144.32 --> 146.22] Kind of crazy, actually, when you think about it. |
[146.34 --> 146.44] Yeah. |
[146.84 --> 152.14] And I sold it to somebody two months ago because we've known this event's been coming for a while. |
[152.50 --> 160.70] And I thought, right, can I live with just an M1 MacBook Air as my primary system for two or three months until these new MacBooks come out? |
[160.88 --> 163.10] And you also have a desktop system as well. |
[163.12 --> 164.58] So it's not like your only computer. |
[165.04 --> 165.28] True. |
[165.58 --> 170.26] But I do 99% of my work now on this MacBook Air, the fanless MacBook Air. |
[170.60 --> 170.70] Do you? |
[170.70 --> 173.56] It is a phenomenal system, truly. |
[174.56 --> 176.42] And I'm very excited. |
[176.54 --> 179.88] I've ordered one of the M1 Max 14-inch MacBook Pros. |
[180.58 --> 181.02] Oh, yeah. |
[181.10 --> 183.40] You know, the 14-inch seems like a pretty sweet rig. |
[183.46 --> 185.94] A lot of horsepower for a pretty small footprint. |
[186.20 --> 187.86] 64 gigs of RAM in that bad boy. |
[187.94 --> 190.72] I have no idea why I need 64 gigs of RAM. |
[191.28 --> 194.76] But, hey, you know, in for a penny, in for a pound. |
[195.00 --> 196.02] That's a tough one, huh? |
[196.46 --> 198.38] Because it's like you can't change it after the fact. |
[198.70 --> 204.42] So if you think maybe you're going to use a lot of RAM, you might as well go all the way in. |
[204.54 --> 210.44] But, and I don't really know how this works, but I think that also means then you've got 64 gigs of video RAM addressable or something like that. |
[210.44 --> 211.80] Because I know it's a unified memory space. |
[211.80 --> 213.10] Something like that, yeah. |
[213.72 --> 219.54] Yeah, 32-core GPU and the M1 Max, you know, 10-core, whatever it is. |
[219.66 --> 220.56] I'm not entirely sure. |
[220.60 --> 228.22] Honestly, I watched the event and I pressed go on my purchase after the store went live within about three or four minutes, honestly. |
[228.22 --> 233.34] I really didn't spend very long because it's 2021 and everything is in short supply. |
[233.50 --> 238.14] And I knew if I waited even an hour, it was going to take weeks extra. |
[238.38 --> 239.20] Yep, yep, yep, yep. |
[239.26 --> 239.72] I know it. |
[239.84 --> 247.26] And I'll tell you, I would, that instant, I would have been there with that instant buy if they had announced everything that's in that 14-inch MacBook in a mini. |
[248.34 --> 251.26] A little headless Mac mini, that would have been the way for me. |
[251.38 --> 254.70] That, like I said, that just wouldn't make it, that would just be such an incredible server. |
[254.70 --> 258.14] But also, with that kind of horsepower, you could also have it be your desktop. |
[258.46 --> 260.04] Like, that's, for me, a consolidation. |
[260.24 --> 260.72] That'd be nice. |
[261.52 --> 268.10] The only thing missing from this new set of laptops for me was a single USB-A port. |
[268.48 --> 272.16] I think it was possibly asking a bit too much for them to put that one back in. |
[272.26 --> 280.16] But I was hoping because, you know, being back in England last month, I was doing a lot of stuff with old tech. |
[280.16 --> 284.04] You know, I was taking files off my mom's old Windows XP laptops. |
[284.70 --> 287.80] I needed USB-A, so I had to have a dongle for that. |
[287.86 --> 289.38] So I'm still going to have to keep that one around. |
[289.86 --> 292.92] But thank the Lord, there's an SD card slot. |
[292.94 --> 293.70] Yes, there is. |
[293.86 --> 294.50] Yes, there is. |
[294.56 --> 294.90] Hallelujah. |
[295.38 --> 295.68] Yes. |
[295.88 --> 297.36] And, you know, people say, why do you need SD? |
[297.62 --> 298.54] It's like, come on, man. |
[298.54 --> 302.48] Even if you don't have a camera that uses it, you could use it for external storage, portable storage. |
[303.04 --> 304.28] It's great for backup. |
[304.60 --> 305.68] It's, yeah, yeah. |
[306.24 --> 307.50] Yeah, I think they set the bar. |
[307.50 --> 309.38] I really think they set the bar with this one. |
[309.38 --> 321.30] And I'm really kind of looking forward to see where the Asahi Linux team gets with support for Linux because I could see running these things with macOS and then trying to do Docker on top of all of that. |
[321.38 --> 325.96] But it seems like a lot of pain in the knee when you could just run Linux directly on there. |
[326.06 --> 327.84] And I think they're making good progress. |
[328.00 --> 328.80] We'll see where that goes. |
[329.46 --> 332.00] I have an M1 Mac Mini now. |
[332.00 --> 334.64] I haven't gotten through, like, setting it up yet. |
[335.04 --> 338.52] But my intention is to try Asahi on it and see how it goes. |
[338.74 --> 342.26] And, of course, I ordered the Mac Mini. |
[342.84 --> 343.68] I thought, all right, fine. |
[343.84 --> 347.20] I know Asahi Linux will support this because that's what the developers are using. |
[347.46 --> 355.30] So even though I know Apple's about, even though I knew, I knew Apple was about to announce new machines, I ordered the Mini M1. |
[355.92 --> 359.50] Even risking there might have been an updated Mini because I knew that would have the best compatibility. |
[359.50 --> 364.82] But I have to say, the next day Apple announced the event and it still hurt. |
[364.96 --> 367.00] It still felt like I should have waited. |
[367.70 --> 368.76] But it's good. |
[368.82 --> 369.38] It's here now. |
[369.50 --> 370.18] I've already got it. |
[370.34 --> 373.10] But they didn't announce anything in the Mac Mini form factor. |
[373.46 --> 374.98] So in a way you have indicated. |
[375.28 --> 375.72] That's true. |
[375.78 --> 376.36] I suppose so. |
[376.86 --> 377.72] I suppose so. |
[378.08 --> 386.24] I've been trying to, I've just been trying to think of my setup and how I'm going to redo it because now that I am doing so much more on my Raspberry Pi in Home Assistant, |
[386.24 --> 398.78] I'm running MQTT now and I've got a lot more automations going and I'm now doing power statistical tracking for a lot of different devices and it has noticeably slowed down. |
[398.78 --> 409.18] The speed difference now between my Home Assistant Blue, which is doing a lot less, and the Raspberry Pi 4 in the RV is extremely noticeable. |
[409.46 --> 410.86] It's night and day. |
[411.00 --> 418.54] We're talking like 10 minutes, 15 minutes to do a snapshot on the Raspberry Pi and two minutes to do a snapshot on the Home Assistant Blue. |
[418.72 --> 418.84] Oh. |
[418.84 --> 424.84] So you were thinking about doing some stuff with your router at the studio. |
[425.08 --> 427.44] Have you gotten any further with that yet? |
[428.10 --> 429.08] Not necessarily. |
[429.94 --> 432.52] We hit a wall on a hardware wall. |
[432.92 --> 440.38] But one thing we're thinking about trying in the meantime until we get the right hardware because we wanted to, we found this nice little x86 box that we thought would work really well. |
[440.88 --> 443.28] But there's just, we just can't, we cannot get it. |
[443.46 --> 444.74] Nobody has it available right now. |
[444.82 --> 445.04] Yeah. |
[445.04 --> 445.24] Yeah. |
[445.34 --> 445.74] Yeah. |
[445.92 --> 450.00] So we are thinking about just in the interim trying a Raspberry Pi just as a temporary solution. |
[450.18 --> 464.12] I saw an interesting post on this, which I'll try and find and put in the show notes, where people were using VLANs to actually use a Raspberry Pi 4 and its single Ethernet port as both a WAN and a LAN port. |
[464.20 --> 467.48] So I thought that might be an interesting experiment for you to try. |
[467.48 --> 467.78] Hmm. |
[468.62 --> 475.14] My thought was just put the WAN on a USB Ethernet because the USB 3 is pretty good, you know, and it's just Comcast. |
