I’d like to request that Ubiquiti allow the UNVR G1 to be repurposed or converted into a UNAS / UNAS Pro 4-style NAS through software.

The UNVR G1 hardware already seems very close to the UNAS line, especially for basic NAS use:

• 4 drive bays
• Rackmount form factor
• UniFi ecosystem integration
• Dedicated storage appliance design
• Similar ARM-based hardware platform
• Same general concept: centralized storage managed through UniFi

From what I can tell, the UNAS Pro uses a quad-core ARM Cortex-A57 at 1.7 GHz with 8 GB of RAM, and the UNVR/UNVR Pro family appears to be in the same general hardware class, with the UNVR commonly referenced as having the same processor class but less RAM,

I want to use HomeKit for some security cameras, but don’t have a HomeKit Hub. I really have no need for the current HomeKit Hubs (e.g. Apple TV, HomePod and etc).

Instead, I would love to use a Mac Mini M4 as a HomeKit Hub. I know that historically Mac Minis were not HomeKit compatible, however, is there a good chance that it can be used in the future especially because they now have a Thread Radio? Are there any code or supply chain leaks that hint at this?

I have a PowerBeats Pro, and I love them. I'm looking for a similar device (around the ear loop) with H1/H2 chip and ANC. I specifically want the H1/H2 chip because of handoff between iPhone and MacBook. While the PowerBeats Pro have served me well, it still uses Lightning (while I've moved everything over to USB-C), and doesn't have Active Noise Cancelling.

Is there such a device that exists in rep land? It doesn't exist with Apple at this time.

I’ve seen lots of posts where people ask if they regret getting the 13” over the 15”. I wonder if there’s anyone with the opposite: regret getting the 15” instead of the 13”.

The 15” is heavier and takes up more desk space. The 13” could be used in smaller areas such as on airplanes, whereas the 15” might be difficult or impossible. I generally use my laptop in bed, where it rests on my chest/stomach, and a 15” that close might make my eyes dart to corners.

I've seen older posts where people kind of got the Mac Mini to work with NexDock. They were able to get display, but no keyboard/trackpad. Has that changed? I'm thinking of getting a NexDock and velcroing a M4 Mac Mini to the lid as an impatient man's M4 Macbook Air until it's released. The NexDock would power the Mac Mini (5 watts), pass keyboard/mouse commands and display the video.

I have a M1 Macbook Air (8/256). I want to upgrade to a M4 Macbook Air. However, it won't be coming out for a few more months. In the mean time, the M4 Mac Mini is a stellar product at a bargain price. I'd like to use the screen, keyboard and trackpad of the Macbook Air, with the processing power of the Mac Mini.

Would it be possible to remote into the Mac Mini using the Macbook Air with zero latency? Could the be achieved with Universal Control or Side Car?

I love the design of the UHK 80, however, spending over $400 is more than what I’d like to spend.

What I Iike:

• Can move mouse cursor with keys
• Add on trackpad
• Wireless / Battery powered
• LED screen

Would like to spend $100-$200. Also would like it as silent as possible.

I'm looking to buy a Chromebook from Costco, and I saw the $50 coupon at the Chromebook Perks site.

However, whenever I click Get perk, it checks to see if I'm on a Chromebook but states I'm ineligible. I've tried on my Asus Chromebook Plus and my two Chromeboxes, and neither of them seem to work. I've also never redeemed it before. Has anyone been able to get this to work?
