@Chuck_vs._The_Comment_Section 2 года назад

It could even be that the battery is there to prevent the loss off unsaved work. Macs are designed to mark data as "written to SSD" even though it is only stored in RAM. This is not a problem with Apple laptops, because of the non-removable battery. But without an additional power supply, the data is gone as soon as the power is gone.

@David-zp8rx 4 месяца назад

How does replacing ssds work with the sepOS? They dont use nvme protocol. A randomly generated UID is fused into the SoC at manufacturing time. Starting with A9 SoCs, the UID is generated by the Secure Enclave TRNG during manufacturing and written to the fuses using a software process that runs entirely in the Secure Enclave. This process protects the UID from being visible outside the device during manufacturing and therefore isn’t available for access or storage by Apple or any of its suppliers. sepOS uses the UID to protect device-specific secrets. The UID allows data to be cryptographically tied to a particular device. For example, the key hierarchy protecting the file system includes the UID, so if the internal SSD storage is physically moved from one device to another, the files are inaccessible.

@johnDingoFoxVelocity 2 года назад

It's not upgradable the ssd controller is on the main board not on the ssd itself

@Anaeijon 2 года назад

well... That still makes it *technically* upgradable. Technically, you can add more NAND on a M.2 card and tell the controller to also register it. You could even add a regular off-the-shelf SSD and tell the controller to pass through. That's basically nothing new. Most ARM-SOC devices work that way, because most ARM-SOCs have builtin memory controllers. Technically it's not a bad solution. It's probably just unecessarily locked behind some apple tool so the manufacturer can do this, while the user can't, making the whole thing technically upgradeable, just not user upgradable. It's a feature that is there, so apple can sell different variants without actually having to hardwire them. It's there, so apple can sell an overpriced storage upgrade in the future.

@jazeenharal6013 2 года назад

@@Anaeijon It's so you have to pay them to run their proprietary software to flash the controller to register more storage. Same typical Apple greed that we've been seeing since 2013 and beyond. Indefensible.

@Anaeijon 2 года назад

@@johnDingoFoxVelocity Yes. But you see: it is upgradeable. It's just not user upgradeable. You shouldn't confuse that. You said, it's not upgradeable, which technically is wrong. It's a money making scheme by Apple. Because it is only upgradeable by Apple. It's like a Tesla battery capacity is not user upgradeable. It technically is upgradeable though and Tesla will do it for you - for a high price. Or like a iPhone screen with fingerprint reader is replaceable and repairable. It's just the Problem, that Apple designed the fingerprint reader in a way, that only apple can replaceable it, because it's married to the processor. Or like the Mac Mini storage has a hardware encryption, so you can't replace the SSD and you can't read out the data from a broken device. You could say, it's for security, but there are dozens of better solutions that would result in recoverable, encrypted but readable and decryptable data. But these solutions wouldn't prevent you from swapping the SSD or installing another OS on the Mac Mini.

@chelsona2574 2 года назад

@@Anaeijon well I mean by that standard the m1 MacBook Air is upgradeable as long as you have the skills to flow bigger memory chips onto the board without damaging the components next to it. does that make it upgradeable? because only a technician can do this work not some regular old Joe with a heat gun and a magnifying glass.

Not days. When i was repairing macs. It was about 30 minutes for older gen and then i think it was a couple of minutes for the new iMacs based on their guidance before you could open the device.

Very informative. But it's disappointing that effort and engineering still clearly emphasizes non-user upgradability. Apple puts so much care into something as basic as packaging, yet their unwillingness to change their direction with easy upgradability, repairability, and now with their new 5K monitor which everyone here can agree is a blatant move by Apple pushing their 'Pro' users just to see how far they are willing to jump.... In 2022 where everyone is turning to re-usable, sustainable, and more ecologically and economically conscious decisions... Apple is classing themselves as a more 'evil' company.... Many others don't fall too far behind... but I guess for the price you're paying, and the products you would expect, you would expect more from Apple.

It is one of the great frustrations of being an Apple customer that they are so good at so many things, a great case in point being the M1 series of chips... but then so stubbornly dedicated to some of the worst business practices and bad habits. If they fixed just a few of those key issues, like upgradability, or price gouging, then they could be like the perfect computer company. If the M1 series had upgradeable RAM, they could be like the perfect chips. I hate when things are ALMOST perfect, if not for some big caveat that is a deliberate choice, usually motivated purely by capitalism.

Great video, but for future reference, please (un)screw the tensioning brackets in a cross pattern. Doing them one screw at a time puts un-even pressure on the SOC and while it's probably fine, you do run the risk of having it not seat correctly (affecting thermals) or even possibly damaging it.

Yes, I was grimacing as this guy was unscrewing it wrong. Happily ignorant, blase and uncaring. I don't see the point of this dis-assembly when we have no idea if it can be re-assembled properly, or if it even was. Having more money than sense to uncaringly show a daft dis-assembly sans anti-static tools and bad techie practices just makes him look arrogant and show-offish.

@@timsexton I was wincing at the fact he hadn’t grounded himself at any point in the disassembly! My father taught me to do that back when I was a preteen in the early ’90s, when hardware was far less complex and sensitive than it is today.

@mauricegold9377 2 года назад

@@wisdomyaw03 While it seems that what you say about the re-assembly did work out well, I just cringed to watch the bad practices of not worrying about ESD (electrostatic discharge), and not taking care about opening the device screws gradually, using opposite groups to avoid distorting the case and damaging threads. This comes from many years of working with computer innards in the past. That is all. And when others copy this practice, and if something went wrong. What then?

Aren't you going to disassemble the other Studio and use that SSD on this one to see if BOTH SSD slots work together? That would really confirm if the SSD can be upgraded. Also, from the teardown, do you suppose the power supply needn't be unscrewed from the shielding? That means you can remove the power supply and shielding as a layer on it's own. Do you think you can replace the Apple logo on the top of the case and make that glow?

@Xirtamani 2 года назад

Yeaaaaah... bad idea. These are just NAND chips on a PCB, the controller is in the SoC. So there is no way to backup that data without special equipment and technical knowledge how to use it. So you stick in 2 and the system then got 2 OS-installations, no way to know what it will do. Maybe it just doesn't start, maybe it ignores the 2nd SSD cuz it's not formatted how it expects it to be formatted or the 2nd slot wasn't unlocked in firmware. Or maybe it just erases the 2nd NAND-PCB and then your other Mac Studio is basically bricked and you will have some expensive fun with Apple support. No way to know. There are 2 NAND-PCB slots. They work together, or the 2nd one wouldn't be there. Apple wouldn't spend the money for something that can't be used. The question is just, can it somehow be used by consumers or did Apple lock that shit? That is something that needs to be figured out by people with actual technical expertise, not some dude who sees a CMOS battery and talks about how it's there so "just so your stuff is saved when it's turned off"🤦‍♂. Either OWC (+ maybe other companies) will announce "SSD"-Upgrades for that thing in the next, hrm, I'd guess 2-4 weeks... or it isn't possible without some hacking.

And that it isn't there for user upgradability is extremely obvious with how hard it is to get there. So, thanks Captain Obvious.

Yeah but windows won’t allow win for arm to release since no one would buy their products anymore. It’s cheaper, more ecological and in the long run you save multiple thousands just in energy bills compared to daily driving literally any x86 based windows pc. How times have changed , Microsoft with its stupid hardware restrictions for windows11, and hindering progress in the whole industry by not releasing arm windows. Looking forward to a time where you play games in Linux and do everything else on an arm mac and windows becomes obsolete.

Crossover for Mac is way easier, it just treats windows applications like Mac Apps and saves you having to restart the machine each time you need to use a windows program

@pfizerpricehike9747 2 года назад

@Goatyou‘re right , but it depends , I forgot about the rest of the world but when you live in Germany wattage becomes much more of a concern:D but you should also then compare the performance per watt to a similarly capable system, and if energy prices keep rising like they do in the EU it will become even more cost efficient to buy an arm system. You‘re right about the current state of Linux gaming but with valves growing support for the steam deck I hope for a future in which the user can choose their os by featureset and personal preferences instead of its capability to play certain titles.

Even if Boot Camp came back, you'd still be running Windows on ARM which is already terrible on supported hardware, never mind on a Mac. See for example the Surface Pro X, which was a complete disaster with tons of popular apps not running at all on it.

@@desmond-hawkins yes it’s terrible I wouldn’t wanna use it, but I’d still like to have the option to. I know there are a lot of folks out there that had Bootcamp on their x86 macs for that 1 or 2 Programms they needed for work or something. That’s why I think it’s just a casual artificial barrier by m$oft, like the windows 11 required specs. I know there are certain hardware limitations but I also heard that the windows for Arm Mac version that already exists for a year or so is running great and they just won’t release it bc $ Look it up the m1s crushed surface at their own game while being virtualized. Makes total sense , why supply your biggest opponent with software that’s going to make your platform completely obsolete? Except for gaming
