On Twitter, Apple Mis-Intelligence (@singhalrishi27) found out you can now order Mac Mini M4 upgrade SSD parts on Apple Self Service Repair: part numbers and prices below

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/05

TL;DR: the [Wayback/Archive] Self Service Repair – Apple Support parts are very expensive; having an expert solder them is way more affordable

Last year, [Wayback/Archive] Official (by_APPLE): Mac mini (2024) Repair Manual : r/macmini already had the part numbers for Mac Mini M4 SSD upgrades which I put in this table (staggered staggered to emphasise the M4 and M4 Pro differences) with prices for the M4 upgrades after receiving back the return credit (which I still need to figure out what you need to return):

Mac Mini M4 SSD upgrade part numbers
Mac mini (2024 with M4) Mac mini (2024 with M4 Pro)
661-43668, 256GB
 USD 263.12
661-43669, 512GB
 USD 251.12
661-43672, 512GB
661-43670, 1TB
 USD 439.12
661-43673, 1TB
661-43671, 2TB USD 748.00
661-43674, 2TB
661-43675, 4TB
661-43676, 8TB

NB: If anyone can provide a Mac Mini M4 Pro serial, I can amend the table with those part prices as well.

Jürgen Schmidhuber on X: “DeepSeek [1] uses elements of the 2015 reinforcement learning prompt engineer [2] and its 2018 refinement [3] which collapses the RL machine and world model of [2] into a single net through the neural net distillation procedure of 1991 [4]: a distilled chain of thought system. …”

If you need to learn ASP.NET core or looking for specific examples, then try GitHub dodyg/practical-aspnetcore repository

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/05

[Wayback/Archive] dodyg/practical-aspnetcore: Practical samples of ASP.NET Core 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 projects you can use. Readme contains explanations on all projects.

By the time you read this, all examples should have been rewritten to use minimal API footprint so it easier to get just the essentials from each example.

Via [Wayback/Archive] dodyg on Twitter: “I just realized this repo has about around 1500 samples in total because for each version of ASP.NET Core the samples get modified in some ways beyond project increment, e.g for .NET 6, all samples gets rewritten to use minimal API.”
