I honestly think that’s true, plus faked polls, burn a few mail boxes that don’t matter. Just need enough weird things to happen to “credibly” claim voter fraud and give the state legislatures room to avoid certifying their elections.

I think you got downvoted because you put 2021 instead of 2012. Made the comment sound hyperbolic instead of factual.

He paying for it with an increase of tariffs. 20% on everything and 60% on imports from China. If you want a new computer or TV, buy it this year before your man saves America.

I personally use a dock that has three Thunderbolt downstream ports with my MacBook and run USB-C to DisplayPort cables connect two screens. If you have one monitor then you can ignore 90% of what I’m griping about. I just think it’s interesting what people notice. The old high end Mac Mini had 4 Thunderbolt USB-C and 2 USB-A. All ports including headphones were on the back. I don’t mind a front audio jack but prefer it on the back since I use it for speakers. This machine is still a major upgrade no matter what. Thunderbolt 4 is bandwidth limited if you want 3 hi-dpi screens or two 4K 60, so Thunderbolt 5 is a big deal on the Mini Pro.

The things that I would plug into a computer are generally peripherals, webcam, printers, scanner, etc. They generally come with USB A plugs. Also nearly every useful USB-C hub is designed for a laptop and has a built in short cord. The new Mac Mini has three Thunderbolt 4 ports which is more than adequate for high speed applications and video. TB4 allows for hubs like the CalDigit Element Hub which has 4 USB-A and 4 Thunderbolt 4 ports but costs $180.

I’ve asked ChatGPT to create boiler plate code and it will offer these nested functions so you can change the logic in the future. It’s not smart enough to ask why you’re doing something a particular way or suggest a better alternative.

Yes but we are bitching about trivial things and the lack of USB-A is far worse than the location of the power button on a desktop. I don’t accept the mouse criticism because it’s not required to buy a Magic Mouse. I have a MacBook but I use a Thunderbolt dock so in my use case the usb-c port increases convenience.

I actually do buy Apple products and I can accept your logic for a laptop because I use a docking station. The point of the Mac Mini is to be the cheap Mac and adding extra cords or dongles just increases the cost and creates a mess behind the machine.

I just think it’s weird that people are complaining about the power button and the mouse charging situation, but no one is complaining that this DESKTOP computer does not have any USB-A ports. If you want to use any wired keyboard or a Logitech mouse with the adapter you’ll need to attach a dongle. Crazy.

A prior model Mac Mini uses 7W at idle.

It seems like you took the words on the plaque very literally. The intent was to mock the rioters and to mock Trump.
