Thread by @dosdude1 on Thread Reader App – upgrading storage from 512GB to 8TB on an M3 Max MacBook Pro

Cool thread: [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @dosdude1 on Thread Reader App – upgrading storage from 512GB to 8TB on an M3 Max MacBook Pro (images at the bottom of this blog post: they are large):

Just finished my most difficult Apple Silicon storage upgrade yet… 512GB to 8TB on an M3 Max MacBook Pro! This was especially difficult, as it required installing around 100 extra tiny components to use the second set of 4 NANDs…

Last week, I wrote that I switched to Visual Studio Code for most of my text based coding: Visual Studio Code: blazingly fast text expansion with Emmet.

I also use vscode for documentation and text writing, which – yes sometimes I am a copy/paste person too – means you want a bit more flexibility than just copying the selected text.

In most of my previous development tools, either the tool itself, or a plugin, would allow me to copy the word under the cursor if none was selected.

I wanted to change that behaviour too and become more flexible.

So I did some searches:
