Lol by the time I actually needed to upgrade from that mini, all the fruit stand stuff wasn’t really upgradable anymore. It was really frustrating, so I jumped ship to Windows.

Those iMac screens seemed so fiddley to remove just to get access to the drives. Why won’t they just bolt them in instead of using glue! (I know why, but I still don’t like it)

Lol, I used to have an 08 Mac mini and that required a razor blade and putty knives to open. I got pretty good at it after separately upgrading the RAM adding an SSD and swapping out the cpu for the most powerful option that Apple didn’t even offer

There’s 6 audio ports on the back of the motherboard (which is why it looks like there are extra/redundant parts) and it could be any of them, not just the main stereo (green) output. But if your main audio is working fine, it should be usable.

I could be wrong, but it looks like the part that came off is in the fenced off area for onboard audio, so it might be ok if you’re using audio from the HDMI on the GPU.

If they were made in China and imported via Canada you would still have to pay tariffs on them, but just guessing there

I’ve said it before, but I don’t think they’ll do a 2nd cache this generation. If they do it’s gotta be named 9999x3d

When it comes to accessibility, yes
