Mac Mini Vs Apple Tv

Swirled Apple Tarte Tatin is a modern take on a French classic dessert. This twist on the classic French tarte tatin is elegant and delicious. Using apples, puff pastry, and caramel, these mini apple tarts are sure to impress.
Apples baked in buttery caramel, until the apple absorbs the caramel and turn amber. The original dessert is rustic and beautifully humble, just apples cut, placed in a pan with caramel, then baked with the curst on top and inverted. Not much to look at, but one of the most revered desserts for the rich caramelized apples and flaky pastry. On instagram I saw a version that was so elegant, but still looked equally as delicious. Perfect spirals of apples, baked in caramel and turned out onto puff pastry. HOW did they get those even continuous slices of apples. I have most pastry equipment available to home bakers, but nothing in my pantry could create this shape. A little sleuthing and I found it, my new favorite kitchen tool.
It is no secret that my knife skills leave much to be desired, so sometimes a sharp tool is required to do the work for me. Apple Ribbon Slicer creates the sheets of apple needed to create the spirals. If you have CIA level knife skills, you may get away with just a sharp blade, but us mortals have to cheat.
The apples: I tried many apples to see which ones would hold up the best. Depending on where you live and what is available, you too may need to do some experimenting. You want firm apples, that will not turn to sauce as they bake.
New Mac Mini M2 has constant issues with wifi. Its unusable. Ethernet works perfectly, but when using wifi the connection will consistently drop packets. Wifi works perfectly with older Mac mini M1, MacBook Pro, Intel Mac in the same small office. I have turned off all other devices and still have same issue. Did a factory reset and same issues.
Chiming in to say I'm still having the same issues. Thankfully I have access to ethernet in my spot in my home office, which is the ultimate band-aid fix. If I didn't, my computer would be unusable. Sadly, I've found it more convenient to just plug it in and let it ride with poor wifi but a strong hardwire connection.
I've also had some issues with my OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock with transferring data from one drive to another (both being plugged into the dock). Not sure if this is an issue with the Power Delivery of the dock or its relationship to the computer, or something with Ventura or Silicon. All of these things feel like a symptom of the same issue, but I can't be sure.
Truly depressing that Apple has put out a product that is borderline unusable unless the consumer uses a specific setup. I can't believe this thread with almost 300 replies and tens of thousands of views has still been ignored by Apple. A huge betrayal of the company's power users. Shame on them.
Found something that seems to potentially be helping. Under System Settings -> Networking right click "Ethernet" and make inactive. Then do the same to "Thunderbolt Bridge". Not sure why, but after doing this my wifi got dramatically faster and more stable. Have only been testing it about 15 minutes, but so far seems to make a big difference.
I have the New Mac Mini M2 Pro and I have the same issue. Its practically unusable with WIFI. Everything else works fine. I have 1 GBPS connection but it drops to 264 kbps at times smh for real. Love the chip, but what the ****.
Now manually connected to "2.4 only", it works perfectly without any problem, the "5 only" somehow works, but not stable, many packages are getting lost, get some big swing on the chart when doing a speedtest.net.
As everyone with an M2 Mac mini is still within their 90 day complementary technical support period, I'd suggest we all contact Apple Support and reference this discussion to hopefully get it some attention, and show it's an issue affecting many people, not just a few.
I think that the issue is not directly related to the HDMI port itself. I think it is more of an software / design issue. My issue is still under investigation by the software development team. I am still in contact with my technical engineer. Unfortunately, the software development team seems to need very much time for stating a statement.
And, just to mention it, please do not write all the time "the solution to the problem". ;-) All possible ways that are mentioned in this thread (e.g. splitting 2.4GHz and 5GHz, grounding the HDMI port, not using the HDMI port,...) are only workarounds. The issue is produced by Apple and the solution has to come from Apple!
I'm back here posting from my new replacement Mac Mini.... aaaaand the problem is still happening. Check out this log of my speeds dropping off. Check it out, multiple times per minute dropping from in the 900s to in the 200s. When it happens I see signal loss notifications on gmail and other apps that says it can't connect to the internet for a few seconds. Interrupts Zoom calls too. Two devices this has now happened on. I'm starting to think it's software, but I still can't be sure. Hopefully Apple will READ THIS.

In Safe Mode, Login Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another update install. For instructions, go here: How to Use safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support
What happens when you create a new administrator user, and log into it? Do you still get this error? If not, then it is likely an error with the current user. If so, then it is likely an error with your Mac.
Same problem! I also bought Mac Mini M2 the first day it became available and brought it home and wifi didn't work. It was present for my daughter :( It showed 2 bars of wifi connection but it was no internet connection at all! There was Windows laptop on the same desk which worked perfectly. And PC tower in the same room in even more distance also worked fine. When I placed the mac mini next to the broadband hub it worked (not ideally fast but still it was some connection). And it is even not a long distance. It is the same floor, without any concrete or brick walls in between. We have many device all around the house and in more trouble locations. They all work perfectly!
I have tried all the things here, even rebooting and power cycling don't fix. Restarting the router is the only "fix" -- which is a kick in the nads for all the devices that do work (cause that takes out the TV too and the boss hates that).
The router is a (Canada) Bell Home Hub 3000. My computers all have DHCP reservations (allowing me to have a static hosts file and support ssh, etc without having to monkey with the steaming pile that is mDNS or setup my own). The wifi crypto is WPA2.
Further to my post earlier in this thread, I spent some time over the weekend, trying everything I could think of and that has been mentioned here, to resolve this issue, but to no avail. My Mac mini M2 still won't connect reliably, or stay connected to a combined 2.4Ghz/5GHz network, and offers slow speeds when connected to the 2.4Ghz only network.
I purchased a HomePod mini to use as a HomeKit hub. Went through the setup procedure and it failed to update because I had ''advanced data protection'' turned on. Turned it off and the HomePod updated from software version 15.6 to 16.5, however it's still stuck in configuring. Reset the device multiple times and it's the same thing everytime. In the home app, it says ''HomePod is being configured. Additional settings will be available shortly...''. Also alarms and timers are greyed out and it says that they can be viewed and managed only when this homepod is on the same network as this iPhone. I restarted my phone and router to no avail. Logged in to my router and I can see that the HomePod is indeed connected but it doesn't show it is in the home app (I can't see the wifi strength bars).
In this current state I can use it as a speaker and I know for a fact that it is connected to my wifi network as I see it as an audio output option on my MacBook Pro and it disappears if I turn off wifi. I asked Siri random facts and it did read the information from a wikipedia page. When I ask Siri to set an alarm or timer it says that something went wrong with my request and to try again later. I haven't tried controlling any HomeKit accessories yet because they haven't been delivered yet.
I recently encountered "Stuck on Configuring" issue and successfully resolved it, and I wanted to share the step-by-step guide with you in case anyone else is facing the same problem. I am located in Trinidad and Tobago and I have been fighting to derive a solution to this issue since January 2023.
