im back in town and the first thing I did was to NOT WORK and instead go out to the richmond crapple store and pickup a new mac mini.
My 5 year old intel system that I bought purposely for flight sim 2020 was getting a bit too noisy inside the office. so I opted for a silent setup now.
Having a completely integrated apple solution also makes a more or sense as I can literally do something on the phone, copy and paste it into the mac, or vice versa. Also I can pickup calls on it, facetime, etc etc.
It should be much more handy if I ever decide to actually work. I can still game a bit, of course not flight sim, but that's okay as I'm moving the gaming PC into the media room. This M4 chip is powerful enough that it can even sideload cyberpunk 2044 and get reasonable FPS.
