![]() Since my previous Mac had an Intel CPU, and the new Mac has an ARM CPU, I ran into some issues with Homebrew and Git not working. So I plugged in my Thunderbolt cable in the middle of the migration process, which was a mistake - progress came to a halt and I watched as the estimated time remaining climbed, eventually reaching 34hrs before I cancelled and restarted the process.Īfter restarting the process though, I hit speeds of 600 MB/s over my Thunderbolt 3 cable from an old external GPU, and the whole process was done in less than 10 minutes. Initially I started migration using a USB-C cable, but it was slow - transfer speed was 26.4 MB/s, barely faster than over my network. Migration was almost completely painless, I just had a couple of issues related to my atypical situation that I’ll elaborate on below. ![]() You just hook up both computers to either the network, USB-C, or Thunderbolt, fire up Migration Assistant, and let it rip. If you haven’t used macOS’s Migration Assistant before, it’s really smooth. I guess the plain cardboard box shape and next day air is a giveaway for Apple shipments. It took about a week to arrive, and I had a chat with the delivery driver, whose wife apparently got an M1 MacBook Air and had to buy a “dangle” to hook it up to her screens. And upgraded storage was going to add two weeks to shipping time. It has 512GB of storage on the base configuration, which I thought about future-proofing, but I had only filled the 512GB Mac mini to about 50%. I think 16" is too big, so I went with the 14" 2021 MacBook Pro, with the M1 Pro CPU and 16 GB of RAM. Initially I looked at the MacBook Air, but the small screen and the current model being 2 years old wasn’t selling me, although the next model is expected later this year. It will still make a decent Linux server though. The screen real estate is a tiny 1366x768, and both pointing devices are acting up (trackpad and pointing stick). The screen isn’t broken, it’s from that weird phase in 2012 when every PC laptop maker was trying to do tablet hybrids.Īnd while not fair but funny, here it is stacked on top of my 2021 MacBook Pro: ![]() I’ve also been wanting a new laptop lately, I don’t like being tied down to my desk and it’s nice to be able to move to another part of the house to work, or even potentially venture out into The Great Big World, and be that guy 1 in the coffee shop.įor reference, this is my old laptop, a 2012 ThinkPad X230 Tablet running Fedora. Windows is not a bad platform, but I’ve spoiled myself by using macOS, in spite of the recent software update issues. I briefly thought about making my temporary switch back to Windows more permanent, but soon all my old nitpicks came back, and some new ones, too. It’s only two years old, but driving 4k displays was a real challenge for it, and a stark contrast compared to my Windows PC in performance. ![]() Using the 2021 MacBook Pro 14" - Luke's Wild WebsiteĪfter a macOS update caused havoc with my external monitors, I started looking into replacing my 2018 i5 Mac mini. => Implied "brew cask uninstall sublime-text3"ĬSS Fix one: make navbar white blue, and then fade to white => Quitting application ID com.sublimetext.3Įrror: It seems there is already an App at '/usr/local/Caskroom/sublime-text3/3103/Sublime Text.app'. => Running uninstall process for sublime-text3 your password may be necessary Normally, I try to install everything with Homebrew cask, because, as is now the case, I run into trouble wondering if I installed something manually or through cask.Īnd when running “brew cask list”, instead of getting the list of installed casks, it’s now suddenly complaining about my java7 cask with Within the whole Homebrew ecosystem, Homebrew Cask goes beyond the installation of CLI packages, but also takes care of nicely installing bigger entire Mac OS X Applications automatically, like in my case, the Sublime Text editor.
