Says “I don’t wanna beat around the bush”, continues to beat around the bush
First reply
beet araond da bashe
Saved me 13 min… next
You talk too much.... Summarize man
Average RUclipsr
Gotta fill time to make money lol it’s a joke.
This guy posts like 10 videos a week spewing the same shit everyone else already said
Seriously get to the Fucking point
Felt like 30 min video
It’s funny when he said “I’m not gonna beat around the bush” but then, all throughout the whole video, he introduces an idea butalways says “but before that….” LOL
Just enjoy your macbook guys hehe Don't stress out :) because at the end of the day it will still age.
You're right!!
Aand we will still age
Can you let use know where you found the information that your quoting. There seems to be a lot of opinions about what a Mac does when "asleep" but I've not seen documentation or evidence anywhere to support it.
Would like to support your question. A lot of info without sources. Let is know...
+1 I would like to know as well. Some of the info in this video rang my B.S. bell pretty violently.
Kinda agree with this your comment man.
@@psalmsbyharvz81 It's like when enough people repeat what someone says it becomes the truth - but I've never seen any evidence of this happening and I even asked apple support at the end of a call and they we unable to find any documentation that MacOS did this in sleep mode.
Use the terminal to check your particular models sleep settings? And preferably turn OFF saving the sleep image to the SSD, because it’s the size of your total Ram being saved to the disc every single time you sleep your machine.
This video couldve been 5 minutes
I think you said using sleep mode rather than closing the lid is ok, but I’m not sure. Everything was presented with caveats. Straight answers and summaries are helpful. Thanks for the video.
Fun fact: Used to have a Macbook Pro that if you close the lid right after done heavy work it MELTS the screen, started to notice discoloration of the screen then started to warp and when I take note and talked with Apple Support they advice me that I should wait the Macbook COOLS a little before close the lid to avoid this, the screen replacement costed me a kidney.
Thanks
That really applies to anything under the sun... never try to close or immediately power off something that is still meltingly hot. Even in a well-ventilated desktop... if you just had your GPU running at 100 C, let it sit and cool for a few minutes before powering off.
Is this peak Apple design?
@@lumeronswift I never had this problem with any other notebook, probably cuz they know how to develop a proper cooling system with modern things like engeneering or design.
I have an old MacBook from 2013. I've shut it down every night when I used it for 4-5 years. My parents have been using it since at their house and it hasn't died, so unless you plan to use your Mac for 20 years, I say the advantages are subtle. The average person won't see the performance change I don't think
same here, my mac pro from 2012 is running perfectly fine. people are treating their laptops like cellphones and thats whats killing them
I shut my 2015 pro down everytime I wouldn’t use it for prolonged periods of time- absolutely nothing wrong with it and very little battery degradation (like… it’s almost 8 years old and runs nearly good as new). Not slow at all. I got a new laptop but I still use my pro occasionally for heavier workloads (not often now) but my mom who is an architect uses it as well now (heavily and daily) and I expect it will live another 5 years. It’s a tough laptop lol. The man told me when I first got the pro it would last at least 8 years and they weren’t kidding. That pro had several spills to the keyboard, several high drops and was handled roughly throughout my university days. I don’t think I’ll ever switch to a non-Apple laptop because of this reason lol
I never shut down my Mac pro. Bought in 2015 it’s been seven years and still runs fine
I shut down my Mac Pro one time and it never turned on again. I regret that day so much
12 years and going :) But its about time to get a new one.
OMG 😂. Bro - I write low level OS stuff. 90% of the stuff you say is just wrong. And sleep/hybernation mode has always chances of corrupting the state of the OS.
I've been turning on and off my Macbook Pro everyday since 2012 and never had any detrimental issues with it.
On the other side I always use sleep mode and nothing has happened as far as I know
so it doesnt matter does it?
@@LitPenguin713it does matter
Idk I’ve had 3 MacBook pros they’ve all lasted plus 5years I’ve never had any issues turning it off over night
I always turn off my Mac after using it. Keeping it in sleep mode increases the likelihood of the computer draining power or overheating components. I've had friends who bring me their MacBooks with many issues that I noticed had a common denominator that they never turn off or reboot their computer.
Terribly wrong. MacBooks have tons of memory leak issues and cannot stay up for long periods of time, EVERY single OS benefits from periodic restarts. Specially when you're low on RAM. On an M1 MacbookAir 8gb 256gb model, after 1-3 days of use, idle RAM consumption is at ~65% even with all the apps closed! If you restart it, idle consumption will go down to low 30's or 40's...
No system gets hurt from restarting, there is no strain on the components on startup. Specially on macs.
Please test your claims before you give advice, other than that, great video.
Sorry that's BS, what do you think big server farms are doing wrong, when just restarted for updates?
Memory Leaks can happen, because no software is perfect, but it's not a build in feature to restart your system regularly.
My systems runs often for weeks or sometime for months.
High RAM usage isn’t always a bad thing. Operating systems are designed to use extra RAM if it is available for speed purposes. For example, you could have two MacBook Pro‘s, one with 16 GB of RAM and one with 32 GB of RAM. They’re running the same apps but the one with 32 GB of RAM will likely have higher ram usage due to the OS keeping more things in memory. The only time you need to restart your computer is if you see a problem. All my MacBooks have very long uptime.
No. I literally leave my MacBook in sleep mode and wake it up when I use it for 6 months or more of uptime. Ram usage is totally fine. I rarely reset or shut down unless I have to for updates.
Other OS are significantly worse and I MUST reset or shutdown my Windows machine constantly. I have never had to on MacOS in a decade of using my machine.
I can go literally 6-8 months of just sleep mode when not in use with no visible slowdowns. Although that is OS version dependent. A buggy version of a particular OS might need a reset if it’s a bad update, but that’s about it. And I would probably reset in between heavy workloads with lots of data moving around like video editing. But for just surfing and office work? Just reset the application, or clear the browser cache.
I work as a software engineer using my MacBook countless hours everyday. I have zero memory leak issues. I sleep my MacBook every night and shut down maybe once a week or every 2 weeks. Your Mac is SUPPOSED to use your RAM in exactly the way you described.
@@DavidKrcek You're comparing consumer products to enterprise products, systems built for that specific purpose, servers are built with a different hardware requirements. those systems are built with special RAM ( ECC RAM modules), Drives (usually server class NAS or SAS drives) and main board units to run miles around basic consumer systems. I work in IT and I run into this stuff on a daily basis. It is recommended to restart the system at least once a week, it's literally basic system maintenance 101. IE: have you tried turning it off and on again????
Recent MacBook owner here, just switched from windows. Thank you for this!
I never shut down my old MBP mid 2009, and also I will not shut down my brand new MBP M1 Pro 14".
Both waking up pretty perfect and very fast.
Very interesting, I didn't know about routines inside the Mac, when I close the lid; great video. Over night battery is falling by 1% or 2%; not more.
The M1 does not produce enough heat to become a problem open or closed lid. Besides the mac will go to sleep unless a power source is connected when the lid is closed.
Hi, is it possible if I plug the charger during I work from 7 am to 3 pm and after that I unplugged it?
What I’ve noticed I started to turn it off when I got my M2 15 inch MacBook Air 5 months and my battery capacity went from 100 or 98% when I would shut it down at night. Now I just leave it on and put it in sleep mode and ever since then my battery capacity hasn’t dropped and my battery recognizes now my battery optimization and holds the charge to 80 percent and charges it fully the next day on the certain time, so I’m never shutting down my MacBook Air again or resetting it unless I get an UPDATE
I had MacBook Pro 2011, and I was just closing the lead down, until I realised that MacBook stays on and gets really warm in sleep mode, and it was happening time to time and sometimes completely discharging the battery. After sometime I started getting some artefacts and vertical lines on the screen, then mac started to freeze quiet frequently. I took it to Apple, and my model apparently had GPU related defect, so they fixed it for free (even the warranty was expired).
Maybe I’m a bit paranoid but i was always shutting down all my future MacBooks after what happened.
This was fascinating but also confusing for someone (Me!) who is not a computer dynamo and also brand new to owning a Mac laptop. Did I understand you correctly as follows: The difference between keeping a “powered-up” Mac in Sleep Mode v. Clamshell Mode when user closes cover is whether external charger is attached? Clamshell with power cord plugged in, sleep without IOW? And although you touched on this, what about battery usage when a Mac is in Sleep Mode? For example, if user placed Mac into Sleep Mode at 6:00 pm, (closing computer) and reactivates at 9:00 am the next morning, that’s 15 hours of Sleep Mode, with the computer not being charged that entire time. The MacBook Pro M2 can handle this? The gist of your video that I took away was that this is the state you recommend keeping a Mac in when not using, so wanted to make sure I didn’t misunderstand you.
A much more difficult problem is keeping a charging/power cord or any other cord attached to unit without my cats eating all cords in sight. They’re specialists in it.
I didnt understand him either
It should be as simple as if you're not using it but will during the day, close it but if you're shutting it off completely for the day, shut down.
Apple Customer: A crack appeared on my MB's screen. I didn't drop it or anything, it just appeared on its own.
Apple Customer Service: ok lol
It’s like how with the IPhone 4 connectivity issues, apple would just tell you you’re holding your phone wrong
Shut down the computer once a week. During startup it sort of “fixes” certain errors.
Also many people don’t realise that closing the lid on a crumb is enough to crack it, or with a webcam cover
Is there any screen protectors out there that are high quality?
@@sethsphoto many people use screen protectors but it’s kinda pointless tbh
Like how you gonna scratch ur macbook
@@sethsphoto If you want to lose the beauty of the screen, use a screen protector.
@@himynameisryan completely false lol, my 4 year old touchbar MacBook had a severely lightly scratched screen. Just depends on whether you travel or not.
@@kvn.nguyen I take my MacBook everywhere and live in Australia, right next to the country, where red dirt covers everything and in theory could scratch the screen. Just by closing the lid, yet it doesn’t. Yes, my phone gets scratched, but that’s exposed, the only damage to my MacBook display is where I dropped a screwdriver on it and the display scratched lightly
99% of the time I let it sleep. The only times I shut it down are: before a time machine backup (this is due to a glitch where if I plug in the drive it doesn’t wanna backup for some reason, and restarting has been found to clear this issue by allowing spotlight to freely index on first boot with the drive attached [my educated guess]). The other time is when I travel. It’s easier to do that than keep wondering if I put it in airplane mode, especially since I don’t use it on the plane, as I’m too busy looking out the window. :)
Same here. My 2014 pro is still going strong
such informative but at the same time entertaining video
8:42 Or just hit Control + Shift + Eject on your Keyboard ✌🏻
My man, this video only has to be 3 min long max.
I just got the m2 MacBook Pro. shutting it down takes just seconds. and then when I open it up it automatically turns on again, which also takes seconds. I have no issues just shutting it down whenever I'm not using it. it's pretty nice. but I get why it shouldn't be shutdown every single time.
I always shut down my 2012 mac air after i use it and there is no problem or any issues until now
I have a 7-month-old M1 Macbook Pro mainly used in clamshell mode. Unfortunately, none of this intelligent" charging appears to be true. the battery health of my Mac has already been reduced to 96% after barely 7 months with 35 charge cycles. At this pace, I will need to replace the battery quite soon.
This actually makes me want to shut down my Mac even more. When I'm not using it I don't want it to do anything, not a thing. I really hate the idea of it doing something when I think its sleeping.
If the OS uses so much resources when I'm using it so that my UX is effected then it's a bad OS, using its resources way too inefficiently. The processor may be too slow or it needs more RAM.
Thank you Arthur, I'll be shutting down my Mac whenever I'm not using it from now on.
Sorry but can you prove that rebooting your mac will cause the components to fail due to them being error checked on boot? Because I've worked in pc/mac repair for over 15 years and this sounds like complete bs. Like the idea that components that could be at full load while a machine is on could be damaged by getting fully discharged is nonsense. Also cache files on macs balloon when using productivity software and a reboot is often the only way to get back to full performance. Quite a Sophie choice to be able to use after effects at full speed or destroy your mac rebooting it frequently.
It is bs. literally everything else will fail before power on cycles will cause it to fail. Usually accidents drops/spills, then mechanical failures like hinge, then lol things like glue. absolute last is other electronic components like capacitors, etc.
Heat also kills things far more than power on cycles. Powering things off? more likely for it to cool off, and parts aren't dying of heat.
Thanks for the video … I like that it’s I story form … very easy to understand as a new user
Bla bla bla
I restart my M1 Air each morning and always do any updates.
Pretty sure if either sleep or completely powered off was optimal, Apple would say something about it. Turning your computer off an on I suppose might cause more strain on the components, but not so much that it's going to affect your machine. By the time something like that affects your machine (20+ years) you will have moved on to something else.
This reminds me of the people who used to say "starting up your car more causes wear on the parts and will damage it quicker" and so people started idling their cars more often. What people never mention, or realize, is that yes, on paper going to an off state and back to an on state will cause more stress/wear and tear, than just a continual on state, it takes tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of cycles, for it to actually impact your device (or car).
I'd say unless you're planning to keep your MacBook for about 25+ years, I wouldn't really worry about shutting down versus going to sleep. And I can't really think of anyone who's still using a 25 year old laptop for anything of significance. Maybe to let your 5 year old play minesweeper on your old college laptop that still holds a 5 minute charge?
Also, the speed and having things stored in RAM is hardly an issue these days. It takes effectively maybe 2-3 seconds to open a program versus 1 second. Your day won't be over and your efficiency isn't going to take some kind of dramatic drop. You likely don't even start working in your program fast enough to take advantage of that 1-2 second faster load.
Startup is equally as fast, and it is a negligible difference. I think from lifting my lid to power on and being in the desktop, it takes about 5 seconds from being completely shut down. I'm not usually even ready to start working in 5 seconds, so yes, while it might load in about 1-2 seconds from sleep, it's not anything that makes sense to worry about.
Any stuff going on in the background during sleep mode I would assume also goes on in the background while your computer is idle. Any time you step away for a few minutes, your computer knows. If it's smart enough o perform tasks in sleep mode, it should be plenty smart enough to run indexing when the computer is idling for any given time, then dial it back as soon as it senses input again. That, and the fact that even while you're actively on the machine, there are plenty of times where you aren't demanding 100% of the performance, that it could be doing these things in the background with 0 performance affect on the tasks you are performing yourself.
It's honestly just up to whatever personally works works best for you. Put your computer to sleep, power it down, whatever makes the most sense or is easiest. I just as soon keep it turned off when not in use, as I feel it is better protected. If the components are actively running, even in a low power mode, there is more chance of damage should a surge go through (if plugged in), or there is some kind of physical jolt (dropping your case/bag), or if liquid gets near the machine. If the machine is off, a lot of these things are potentially less likely to cause damage. Not saying they won't, but even a small percentage less likely is enough for me.
Good luck turning any M1/M2 completely off.
Just superb!! We need to calm down ourselves on these small issues!
They do it on purpose to make you want to buy another MacBook lol
My MacBook Pro sleeps more than I shut it down going on 10 years of long-hour use. It's great! Point of interest, years ago there was a recording studio I visited from time to time just north of Boston,. Everything there was analog then and Apple, if they were at all up and running, were at the clunky devices stage, so it was long before ProTools and Logic were developed. 24-multi track tape machines were the state-of-the-art. But all the outboard gear too was analog and the studio set-up was extensive. They kept all of their equipment running 24/7 (with fans/AC running to keep the control room cool.) The thinking was that powering on and off created surges which damaged the equipment more quickly than would be the case just leaving it all on. My old Phillips 212 turntable (still working since the early 70's) - the two things broken were the on/off switch and the lighted speed buttons don't always keep the turntable running - as they flip to off mode. (a wedged toothpick is jammed to keep it ON and a drill bit completes the lighted speed button circuit - 45/0ff/33 rpm. The turntable is plugged into my 6 channel Yamaha receiver and only powers up when I power up the Yamaha (a 7.1 surround system.) I wouldn't justify keeping the 6 channels x 100 watts running a hole in my wallet while I can save that money for new Apple toys (the Vision Pro arriving this week :)
I think it’s rather a question about power consumption. In Europe you always shut devices off when not used. I don’t know if this apply to most Americans but the friends I have leave their TV on even when they’re not watching and leave their computers on when not using them.
Europe sounds awful. You should have no reason to shut down a computer that requires less energy in sleep mode than a lightbulb.
@@ghost-user559 now multiply that by millions of users doing that daily and you got yourself quite a lot of wasted energy.
@@Nanomaroni Wow they really have brainwashed you guys. Like you literally just spew propaganda talking points?
It literally does not draw power when it’s in sleep? In true sleep mode called hibernation, an Apple computer can stay dormant for over 30 day’s on BATTERY.
You really do get off to this weird virtue signaling doom and gloom though don’t you. You understand that you’re parliamentary body uses more energy at a single party or conference flying their private jets and fawning on the red carpet than you would in your entire lifetime?
You ever seen what the g7 or g10 or the “Paris climate talks” actually looked like? Your “leaders” in massive private jets on long runways with flashing photographs, caviars and champagne.
You don’t think they turn off the lights in your WELL lit parliament buildings do they? Probably not EVER. And YOU foot the bill, AND are now mentally ill and OCD constantly dreaming about lightbulb power draws.
Your leadership is wasteful and arrogant and they have made you all into scared children.
You understand C E R N uses more power than any machine on the EARTH, and they don’t give af at ALL? You go ahead and walk around by candlelight. You help no one and nothing at all. And your leadership mocks you every time they meet.
@@Nanomaroni Look up what I said for yourself. If they can run C E R N with more power draw than entire whole continents and countries over and over for years and years, I think you can afford to sleep your MacBook on battery. Live a little. Seriously.
I don’t know what they did to all of you, but I am glad my ancestors saw it coming and got us out of Europe. You guys need propaganda rehabilitation.
Trust me, you can leave your laptop on 24/7 for the rest of your life and you will never adversely impact the earth anywhere near a SINGLE private flight to Da vos. You are fine.
@@Nanomaroni jfc u sound insufferable
Shut down is useful but if I don’t use often then the computer will feel slow
WIth desktop Macs you can control whether it does tasks in its sleep. In System Preferences > Energy Saver, if you switch off "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping", "Wake for network access", and "Enable Power Nap", then it won't wake itself up. I use this on my iMac as it's in my bedroom and I don't want it spinning up the external disk while I'm trying to sleep! The first two of these options are also available on my 14" M1 Macbook Pro (under "Battery" rather than "Energy Saver") but Power Nap isn't - I don't know for sure but I suspect it's because they simply don't have Power Nap mode anyway, so hopefully just switching those two options off will suffice to make sleep mean sleep.
Thank you!! I wondered if its better to turn off every once in awhile, so I found this helpful to know🙏
My MacBook Pro 13" Early 2013 still works great for everything and I have never shut it down but just closing the lid while it's charging too.
I always have it on, I just reboot when I have problems. sleep mode exists for a reason. if your against sleep mode, and you fully turn off your macbook before you close it. then you should fully turn off your phone before you put it in your pocket, its good to be consistent.
When i was system admin, electronics device need a restart because of bad programming and Hard disk were HDD instead SDD, So the magetic things will have issues when you travel, and the packaging was not proper so the power might stop going and it may shut down immediate, to avoid these issues as a sys admin we request to keep the system in shutdown mode.
But past is past, may be we have a better programming to handle Block device(just technical) and SSD is cool nowadays. And as you suggest its not true every time it check for hard ware test. So it can be possbile to walk without shutdown.
For environment reason, please keep your device shut if not required, and not wasting Engery if not required. May be not a great way to save your pecks, but the mindset for evironment is true value.
Ya, and I noted that more constant running clutters up its efficiency - just restarting is a breath of fresh air for me AND the computer - which seems to run more smoothly with a restart.
This is excellent and only regret not finding you in February when I got my first MacBook. Stopped using computers when I finished studying in 94. A friend laughed 20 years back when I went on a desktop for the first time in decades and asked him how I park the drive. Needed Apple as make music and art. Never owned a new computer so decided to treat myself. I'm more than happy with it and I'm gradually discovering all the Wonderfull features. As a 50 year old I was part of the first generation that had home computers as children and programmed basic. Well thats what we told out parents.
I could be wrong but I had a powerbook.. I've been in the Mac laptop game for a minute.. I'm 97% sure when the laptop is plugged in it bypasses the battery completely if the battery is charged to 100% or as you said 95%. No cycles are counted while it's plugged in. It makes no sense for any laptop to run off battery powered while plugged in
Can you cite sources of this specious nonsense?
I'm afraid of using my MBP in Clamshell mode because I'm always thinking the heat around the keyboard will damage the screen.
could use a laptop fan
Actually, restarting like every day is sadly necessary for my M1 Mac Air because the mac for some reason does not show up after a couple of days.
Bruh, this is like me buying a car and telling me to keep the doors open at night.
Thanks for the explanations
I've used my MacBook Pro 14" everyday using it at least 10 times a day and i've never powered it off or restarted it (except when software updating). With nothing changing, it performs like brand-new.
YOU! YOU TOOK MY USERNAME ! GIVE IT BACK PLEASE
me 2
They don't just break people these days just don't take responsibility for anything.
Silly
Overly exaggerated. I’ve used my 2013 MBP for nine years with directly closing the lid everyday. It works perfectly fine and I can still sell it at a reasonable price this year.
He bounces between saying some device is good and then in another video saying it's bad. Classic content for this channel! 😂
apple is still shit 😂
take this from a design student who's forced to use mini macs.... 🤢
does the ARC coating on macbook screens damage when it is used in clamshell mode?
MAN YOU TALK TOO MUCH
How the angle of lids in store was relevant to the topic?
My mom’s MacBook Pro don’t close all the way anymore n it’s like about half inch wide from closing all the way down n she’s always brushing it off to make sure there’s nothing on it like the keyboard n then she shuts it down every night but she’s hasn’t had any issues with it since she got it from her friend n she can’t even use it without it being plugged in bc it will die n we don’t why that is n the other thing her right speaker doesn’t work right anymore so I got her some speakers from Amazon n they help her to hear others way better especially on zoom meetings
Am a windows geek dipping my hands in Macos , Can't believe the apple community is so stupid that youtubers are making videos on what saves more power and what's more healthy for the batteries.
My goodness even a zombie can makeout that turning off each time will help the batteries without a doubt.
Now that we have super fast SSDs what's the worry on boot times? Who are you? Are you gonna miss your space ship to mars if you had to wait for 5more seconds?!
Hopelessness!
The plural of phenomenon is phenomena. It's from the Greek, like criterion/criteria.
If I leave my 16" Macbook Pro M2 Max 32/40 open all night, it's warm every morning. No idea why.
Killing the dislike button changed RUclips completely 😔
good job keep up the videos, also another reason why the screen breaks when they open and close, they slam the lid open and close. but the most common is people opening and closing the lid by the corner, when you do that, the screen bends and cracks
Picking up the M2 Air today, my first MacBook ever, so thank you so much sharing this!
This video was actually really helpful.
Apple's advise is targeted to ensure you will have a broken/underperforming Mac in a year (two tops) and you have to spend several thousand bucks AGAIN...
love your B-Roll when talking about when to shut down your macbook lol
Now I'm gonna watch the charging video
I never shut down my m2 pro, I just close the lid and keep it aside with all my work open on it lol I love the fact that I can just hop onto what I was working on before I closed the lid of my laptop
is your macbook dead now?
@@qub4942 why no
This guy is overtaking just to get more clicks and views.
Unless my MacBook's battery dies, I habitually leave my 2012, 2016, and 2020 models plugged in on sleep mode. Occasionally, I'll conduct a quick web search or similar task before closing the older models (2012/2016) again. The battery health status varies: 2012 at 22%, 2016 at 52%, and 2020 at 89% (i use this 2020/M1 on the daily so 3 years at 89% health is damn good)
Absolutely the longest explanation for how someone should properly close their Mac.
My MacBook which I still use had a period of time(4years) where I didn’t turn it off I only closed it and I’ve never had a problem as for the camera I covered it in water soluble arcrylic paint so I can just wipe it away when I need to use it.
I had a friend who worked for the Apple in the service department. He told me 2 important things about Apple laptops: 1. Never turn off the laptop. Why?! Because the difference between the temperature. When it's on, the temp is normal or high, when it's off, the temp is low. Very simple. So the CPU (and many things inside of your Mac) getting "older and older" because of the temp difference. (like the engine in your car) ---- The second thing is the OS when you buy a brand new MacBook. So you need to clean your HDD and erase it with the preinstalled OS, and you need to install a new OS from the scratch. Why? I don't know,... :D .. but he knew something.. maybe.. :x So I do this every time. PS: I never close the lid when I use it as a workstation, because of the thermal things. I let my laptop breathing... and when I go to sleep, I let my laptop to go to sleep too without closing the lid. That's all.
Thank you for your video. Can you tell me which accessories you used for your mac? mouse, keyboard, etc.
Oh man, after three minutes was enough, bye… why so long to say what you could say in 1 minute?
It's not true that you can't watch a movie in clamshell mode without "3rd party" stuff. I close my M2 MBP whilst it's attached to my Studio Display and all movies work fine.
I have the new M2Pro MacBook Pro 14" and I've found that it works best when shut down on an evening 2 to 3 times a week. Leaving it constantly on/sleep mode causes it to act weird at times - freezes etc. This Mac replaces my 14 year old MacBook which still works to this day - the hard drive lasted 9 years!!!! I shut that down EVERY night. Even iPhones and Apple TV needs restarts once a week or so IMO. Do what works best for you!
Should I use hard case in MacBook pro?
Ya, the Apple TV, remote for it - software on iPhone running Apple TV remote) all need a shut-down fairly frequently.
I actually don’t know what to follow anymore
Your comment should be on top of the Top comments sort.
This video gave me a headache and wasted my time 😂😅
Best part of this video is when it ends
I have an old Lenovo idea pad 320 that I use as a media pc, home server, iTunes music server and more and it’s on 24/7 since 2018 and it’s still up and running just like new
The T2 microphone hard close is a huge pain in the butt. I switched from iMac to MacBook Pro and instantly lost the ability to do voice controls, proper speech to text + I’d been a dragon dictate user for years so this was 50% of how I worked with my computer. I’ve not met anyone who thinks the T2 Mike-off is art all useful. Bah grr 😖 etc. Why the heck isn’t it a software option?
connect earpods
It's not a software option to prevent eavesdropping
my macbook pro microphone will not shut off ??
I have 2 Intel MacBook Pros loaded out, upgrading to M3 soon. I leave my Macs on 24/7 and one is 6 years old and still daily driven by my wife: School, browsing, etc. The other is 4 years old and is daily driven by myself for engineering work: Web App development, 2D game dev on Unity, etc.
I have never had a single hiccup from either MacBook Pro and we've never intentionally turned them off, we just close the lid. They work as well today as when i bought them.
I also have a Razer Blade with a 3080, its 3 months old and I already had to RMA the thing for motherboard failure. I'll stick with my MacBook for anything besides gaming (I build my own desktops) and looks like Apple is trying to get into that market now too, so we'll see if the new M3 or the next Apple chip replaces my gaming laptops.
You are so lucky. My Macbook Pro M1Pro just died after the warranty ended (1 year). I used it for machine learning and deep learning developments with external monitor connected all the time. I was excited about how good its performance is so I put so many heavy duty tasks to it. On the other hand, My GTX3050 gaming laptop is still working like charm with the same tasks running for 2 years (Also gaming as well). I got my mac repaired and now I have fear to use it any further. My trust on apple products has gone except the Iphone. 😂
Bad video honestly, if youre this paranoid about using basic features just dont use it at all
This guy has no clue what he's saying and stating misinformation. It is a BAD idea to simply close your lid without taking measures as the cons outweigh the benefits by a landslide. I have no apple products but this applies to any form of device. Locking or putting your device to sleep is better than just closing the device due to reasons like security and long term health of the device. This guy needs to stop acting like he knows what he is talking about as he literally does not know how the basics of basic technology
You have no clue what you‘re saying and you even state it yourself. Closing a MacBook is the same as putting it into sleep mode.
@jeffavocado you sure you're thinkin, bud? Leaving a computer on is bad in general for a device's health, including the battery as it'll self discharge or could cause battery degradation. Do your research before posting anything, bud
Me not even taking the computer out of the box
Don't get out people or this stupid and they don't realize that when you're done using a computer for the day you turn it off and they're like I've had my old MacBook for years doing that and nothing happens. It's the equivalent of let's say if you don't sleep for the next 2 days, are you going to be able to perform your tasks as efficiently as somebody who's been going to sleep properly for the past 2 days. You probably aren't. It is the same thing with a computer like it's understandable if you leave it on clamshell mode for light pass and you turn off your computer when you're done using it. But if you're leaving your computer on 24/7, that is absolutely ridiculous. All you're going to do is swell up the battery and you're allowing the hottest parts of the laptop to touch the keyboard, which in general you're not allowing any heat to escape from the computer. And you have to realize max are going to get thinner and thinner. And we're at a point where they're super thin that there's no proper ventilation system in these MacBooks so there's no proper way the heat could get out. So all you're doing is just making your computer battery health worse and ruining your PC over time
The whole point of blocking the camera physically is people dont trust the software.
There should be a physical switch to make sure.
I don't any Apple productsbas most of them are designed to fail or anti repair or gives preference to Just looks over Reliability or Usability
hey man, I do programming and I can tell you right now, the camera switch/hiding the webcam is the most useless feature ever invented on laptops. Hacking like that is stupidly hard, not only that it's basically impossible due to anti-malware software
installing a keylogger on a laptop and tracking what one types is easy but accessing the webcam is so hard that I have no clue myself how to approach it
It’s not software; it’s hardware. The camera cannot be on without the LED being on.
new subscriber and new mac user. thanks for the insight and tips - checking out your other videos
so the seep mode in Apple Macs in general works way better than windows if someone is just transitioning it might be natural for them to turn off their windows laptop and now that they own a Mac they still do the same thing, through out all the time I owned a Mac I never turn it off it's very well optimized and won't use too much battery.
Broken screens because there's stress on the screen. Saved you all the whole video.
Don't put anything between the screen and the base. Don't close things in the screen.
Absolutely USELESS video!
the 76 degrees thing is accurate. We don’t go crazy most of us do it by hand but new people use the measure app to get it to 76 lol.
Piece of advice: Sell your MacBook Air M2 and make videos on some other topic.
Slamming Laptop‘s lid is just for showing off.😂🎉
On my mid 2010, I left my laptop plugged in 24/7 and ON 24/7. 12 years later and still running.
I've had macbooks since the white polycarbonate ones back in 2006. Never closed them down unless going away without it. Always just shut the lid. Never ever had a problem.
Have an macbook air M2 and will keep doing the same thing.
This is just youtube content for the sake of making content.
No offence Arthur; I'm not getting at you, great channel and you're very likeable. Namaste x
Why there are a lot of irrelevant informations. It is not presented in an organized way so it become difficult to watch.
1:45 this happens due to some "larger" speck of dust or sand between the lid and the keyboard. Happened once on my 16" M1 Max.
Mine just went blank today. How much did it cost to fix it?
I had a 2012 MacBook Air, I probably only switched it off a handful of times and always left it in sleep mode. It lasted 10yrs! And I’m now researching which new MacBook to get. I will treat it the same - minimal number of full shut downs …
Same for me with 2013 MBP - 10 years!
Apple doesn't want u to shut it down because they invented power naps for it
Leave it on
@@puertoriqueno24 That's a 'funny' right? lol My M.O. routine is a 4 minute (at most) power nap - very useful on 2-day drives from MA to FL when I was younger - but I hesitate now I've discovered Hawai'i. It's only a 9-hour flight vs. a 30-hour stressed drive. And Hawai'i has Florida beat - except in the roller coaster department. I don't always need roller coasters but the naps are nice.
If a laptop suffers from turning it off when it's not in use and turning it on when it's ready to be used across several years, I blame the company for manufacturing a poor quality product. Not the user.
