Math & the calendar. Apple’s macos device lifespan is 7 years from device launch except on major redesigns. about half of them get a shrunken 5 year life span. The M1 was released in 2020 so at the time of filming that video there was 2 years left and the clock has gone down since then.

@ a “new” M1 purchased in 2024/2025 will last at least 5-7+

Last and supported are 2 different things. As soon as apple supports drops 3rd party support goes with it.

@ agreed

Nope the only crazy thing is that I keep taking jobs unrelated to Apple, and then becoming the apple guy. But that allowed me to get the info in this video and make it so 🤷

@TDSheridanLab 🤔 hmm... maybe there's something to this Jager thing.

Thanks Todd! More to come soon.

Yes, I touched on that in the Video. Synology states, that SSD Caching won't help bulk file transfers. Also I only have 1 gig networking in my house so a single mechanical hard drive can max out 1 gig networking, Factor in my 4 drive RAID 5 and the LAG i have set up with the network ports. I've been able to max out the network transfer from day 1. Also on most of the Synology units there isn't any hardware acceleration with the storage like a traditional server raid card has. So once you peak the performance of the drives it's a drop off on performance. The main benefits I've seen is Plex runs smoother. Even though most of my collection isn't in the SSD cache. The Plex Metadata cache is. So plex moves faster then before. I also assume, Docker would fall into that same situation, but i'm not running anything that uses a noticeable amount of disk. the docker images i run, sit in ram so after it boots the disks aren't touched except to write logs. Basically, if you're regularly using any of the Synology Apps or supported 3rd party apps on the NAS the popular apps, metadata, and/or app data will get moved to the cache from day to day usage.

If the shorten life span hits with the redesign 2025 will be the last year of support for it. if it gets then full 7 years, then 2027 is the end of official support.

@ gotcha. Thanks!

After building the giant barn door and planning all 100+ boards for 5 pallet wood tables the blades are ready to be rotated. The pallet wood caused extra ware and tear.

It’s a Bluetooth remote that comes with the vacuum.

The seems like a strong reaction to the truth about apple product lifecycles.

Ok, it’s your money.

Go for longer and product lifecycle are 2 different things. and when you factor in the lifecycle it's not work buy the old versions.

Then it's lifecycle is up for sure!

99.9% who are buying Macs, aren’t buying them to install Linux on later.

@@TDSheridanLab But they should be.

ok

It would be up to social media and the web browser company to drop support for unsupported versions of the OS/hardware. Is it on the day the lifecycle ends? No. is it a ticking clock that will explode eventually? Yes

not without using PowerAutomate Premium and building the whole thing from scratch.

and when the computer unexpected stops doing the thing you need it to do to make money...

@ apple not broken so easy my buddy. By newer expensive model also cant gurantee it wont break??❤️

but telescopic squeegee's take upper body strength that i don't have. The robot can just run around my windows and i don't need to visit a gym.

Nice work! I love power automate and how you can build out what you need it.

Good enough now to enable Apple Intelligence doesn't change the lifecycle of that specific model.

Thank you, it doesn't take long on RUclips where you have to deep dive into the mechanics of sound levels and such. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to adjust those settings after posting. And Deleting and Re-uploading the video has different ramifications as well. It's something i'm actively working on for future videos.

I think you can (I’m not 100% sure)but if you only have 1 gb networking it’s not worth creating an SSD volume unless you’re running vms or disk heavy docker containers.

@@TDSheridanLab I hear ya. I have 10GB Fiber. But It is basically a File/Plex/Docker/Proxmox/HA kinda gadget for me. I think I will make the m.2 drives in a mirror to run some of my apps. That sound like a good idea? First NAS for me. It is DS1823XS+ with 8x24TB Xeos and 64GB RAM, Synology 10GB card. and (2)1TB m.2 drives.

@lesgarten that’s impressive! Unfortunately those mechanical drives can’t max out a 10 gb link. If you use the cache then the popular vms or parts of vms will get cached. Depending on what you’re doing it may be better to have an ssd tier and a slow tier. And skip caching all together.

@@TDSheridanLab That's what I was thinking as well. Run some of the apps on a SSD mirror

Apple Intelligence is mostly software based, so if the hardware is good enough to run it, then yes it's entirely possible that it Apple intelligence will launch and be out for a year when the original M1 macbooks go end of life. At that point M4/M5 will be the current options for sale.

yes you can. When you create the service, you add the additional fields to the service and if they are required or not. Then they will be on the booking page. It sucks if the fields are needed for every service because you'll have to manually add them to each one. But if you have a small number of services this shouldn't be too big of a deal.

The best answer to that is a maybe. Heres the easy math on it. We don't need to super precise because it doesn't help the numbers. the 1522+ is a 5 bay unit and if you have 7200 rpm drives in it they can only transfer at 100-130 MBps or 500 to 600 MBps before the Raid 5 read and write penalties. a 10 gbps is 1 GBps so the mechanical drives can only consume ~50% of the 10gbps connection. Synology Cache has no impact on sequential read and write so the file copies back and forth the cache will be useless for that. The read/write cache is essentially a popularity contest that we can't control. So If your current project(s) are the only thing the NAS does then working on new project will eventually kick the previous project out. But it may be sluggish editing until the new project gets moved into the cache. Also i don't know how the size of the projects could impact this. For example if you had a large project you worked on for a month straight and then a simple project that only took a few days. I don't know if the simple project would kick out the large project because it was newer but not technically used more. depending on your working style it make make more sense to make a RAID 1 nvme array for your current projects. Then move the project to slower storage when you're done. This would allow you to max out the 10 gbps connection and allow you to create an array larger then 1 TB. As far as nvme life span goes. Yes cells in SSD get worn down and the drive will swap cells in out to maintain performance. If you're going to be a heavy storage user, instead of limiting yourself on space i'd life cycle my SSD based on the drive warranties. that way it's a predictable schedule for replacement and you don't have to worry about to hard drive math all the time. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching.

This is covered under power automate plan 1 which is included in all the bundle skus like office basic, office premium office/microsoft E1/E3/E5 etc. Thanks for watching!

RMA the ram

The style grew on me as the build progressed, but would I buy reclaimed or pallet wood furniture? No, this was a challenge video to go on the trend of copying @morleykert. I figured i had a shot because i did more then glue them all together and run them through the planer. Leading up to christmas i got some interest but overall it's been a flop. In the economy i should have assumed as much. Thanks for watching.

I mixed it up throughout the process. It was over 100 planks so most of the planning footage isn’t in the final video.

Off the top of my head I’m not familiar with the 2 speed unit. I bought this one specifically for the helical cutter head being better than traditional knife based units. If the 2 speed version is a knife based unit then you still have the downsides of knife based units just at 2 speeds. If it’s a helical head unit then I don’t know what the advantage is. Speed has never been the issue with this unit. My “issues” have been around wrestling giant pieces through it in my cluttered garage and keeping everything level. Speed hasn’t factored into that yet.

2 speed is a banger, a neighbor bought all wen stuff (couldn't laugh more) and has the planer with the 2 speed and showed it to me and it sounds solid. The fast speed removes material fast and the lowest speed removes material with a better quality, I bought the tracksaw and tracks for 118 after taxes and the planer is next.

Price, value, and support.

Yes, the lifecycle doesn’t change if you buy it new, refurbed, or used. The last 2 have a higher chance that there is something wrong with it.

Thank you

Depends on coding for what. If you’re doing apple dev then the windows computer is instantly ruled out. Office is the same on both. Vs code is the same on both. But I wouldn’t force myself into the sub $500 laptop range either. I would use the Apple Card (or HP credit) and 0% financing on a base model air. It will be the better experience and save you money in the long run.

To get it to function yes. For your use case that may or may not make sense.

it can to shallow arcs. Basically picture a 12" x 12" square and if it could easily and smoothly move in and out of the arc or not.

scroll lol

Your parents must hate you

The dude rn:😭😭😭

Ok… feel better telling everyone that?

​@@TDSheridanLab Yes, do you care?

$300 for a possibly dead product sounds more like a gamble to me

@@TDSheridanLabwhat are you even yapping about?? a dead product? you pulled that out your ass

@@TDSheridanLabI don’t think you know what the word “dead” means. There are still 2017 Mac’s selling on eBay for $300 and they run Ventura fine. Mac users bug me because they act like anything but the newest machine is DOA. You’re coming from the perspective of an apple junkie that can only trade in through apple. People will be paying for these machines for years to come and they will continue receiving updates.

Actually I think your math is wrong. 2017 + 7 = 2024 so your example is just in its last year of support. So it will continue to get updates until the end of the support cycle. Which then after that date from apple, security and technology point of view it’s a dead product.

@@TDSheridanLab the thing you’re missing is people still find use for these laptops wether it receives updates only matter to certain people there are still people using MacBooks from 2012. Just because it’s not receiving updates doesn’t mean it’s dead it’s still a laptop capable of getting the job done for the everyday person. $300 for a laptop that retails at 700+ is cost effective for MY use still receives updates and it does everything I need it to do if I needed it to be a power house I would invest in something better than a laptop anyways

Yes, Apple has been making cell phone cpus for a long time. The support on iPhone/ipad is 5 years. Or less for first gen redesigns.

but the chassis at least isn’t first generation they started it in 2018. And keep in mind the life expectancy of an iphone or an iPad is less than 3 years anyway, but for Macs people keep using them for over 10 years, Mind you I use a mid 2012 15inch MacBook pro running open core legacy on Mac os Sonoma, aftermarket support for those machines will definitely prolong their life
