@paul Hard disagree. Apple sell a product with all the items people are variously lamenting in the comments (16GB RAM, MagSafe, etc). It’s called a MacBook Air. Most normal users don’t even know what Thunderbolt is!
They will absolutely sell these in insane volumes and people will love them. I work in an Apple support role and even just today alone I’ve mentioned the MacBook Neo and its price to several casually and you should see how their eyes light up when they hear about it.
@paul @CleatusFetus Which model do you have? Can recommend these guys: https://iboffrcc.com/products/mac-studio-storage-expansion-module-16tb-8tb-4tb-2tb
@daringfireball how does ‘I love the idea that Apple is pursuing technical excellence as a top priority for the next-gen LLM-powered Siri’ square with the prior paragraph saying Anthropic’s model is superior to Google’s, but Apple are leaning to Google simply because they already get buckets of cash from them?
@arroz Heya! I’m not sure what was wrong but after a manual local reboot, I was able to try this after the subsequent boot and it worked fine. Very impressed! Thanks for the offer to assist though.
@arroz I tried this and it didn’t work for me 😭 gives a key exchange error (I think). Do you know if you have to connect via SSH first while the Mac is booted to whitelist it or anything like that? Or did you just reboot said Mac (with remote login enabled, of course) and SSH to it for the first time from another Mac? Thanks!
@daringfireball ‘Correspondants’ [sic] in the title, but correct in the actual piece.
@paul You can exclude the entire drive (if you’re the only user, I say this in the sense of otherwise you’ll disable spotlight for other users of the Mac who may want to use it!). Otherwise Spotlight will still index the odd top-level directory. Probably won’t get constant activity from that, but you never know…
@mugsensation @aroman @siracusa You can still use AirDrop whilst having a single connection FYI: have your Ethernet connected, disconnect from your home Wi-Fi network (but don’t turn Wi-Fi off), then go to System Preferences/Settings, find your network under the list in there, then turn off auto join. Boom, Ethernet speeds and reliability, AND you keep AirDrop!
