9to5Mac: Apple is redesigning its least popular Mac, but who is actually buying it?
Following the news that an updated Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro chip is in the works, CIRP is out with its latest report on Apple’s most affordable computer. With Mac mini market share as low as <1% of total Mac sales, the new data looks to answer the question, “Who buys a Mac mini?”
CIRP highlights with such a tiny fraction of customers opting for the machine “We’ve long wondered why Apple continues to make this thing.”

41% of Mac mini owners are “under 24 years old or over 65 years old.” And that number jumps to 69% for those under 34 years old or over 65 years old.
Jeff Geerling (YouTube): I replaced my Apple TV—with a Raspberry Pi
31.May.2024
If you want a TV box that’s more flexible than Apple TV, Nvidia SHIELD, Roku Ultra, or any of the regular Android-based TV set-top boxes, this Pi build’s for you! I built a Raspberry Pi 5 media center using LibreELEC and Kodi, and I’ll show you how you can do it, too. It’s good enough for almost any modern content, up to 4K60, but there are a few caveats.
Cabel Sasser: My GDC ’24 Talk: The Playdate Story
19.May.2024
In January, I was invited to GDC, the Game Developers Conference, to give a talk about Playdate.
That talk — “The Playdate Story: What Was it Like to Make Handheld Video Game System Hardware?” — has been made available free for all to view.
Now, it’s been 10 years since my last talk at XOXO here in Portland (I was maybe 12% less nervous for this one! Progress), and really this talk feels like a sequel to me. It covers a lot of our adventures since then, and I did my best to again give an honest look at the many ups and downs that come from trying something totally new.
So, so good!
