Monitor issue or the cables?

Please help this girl out.

I recently bought a Mac Mini M4 so I attached it to my AOC Agon AG275QXR monitor, I only used this monitor for a few months before I bought my mac mini so it's fairly new. There are times it turns off a few seconds and turns back on. I switched out the HDMI/Display port cable, but both are having the same issues.

What do you all think the issue is? Should I buy different cables to test it out?

Mac Mini M4 startup issue: blinking white light, sometimes turns on, sometimes not

Hello guys,

I bought a Mac Mini M4 in December 2024.

But around 5–6 days ago, it suddenly shut down. After that, when I tried to turn it on, it didn’t start—only a slowly blinking white light was showing.

The next morning, I tried again and it turned on normally.

Then in the evening, the same issue happened again—wouldn’t turn on, just the white blinking light.

The following day, it turned on again, so I updated it. The update completed successfully. After that, I contacted customer support and ran an online diagnostic test. They said there are no hardware or software issues.

But now the same problem is happening again. Sometimes I hear the startup sound, but then it just shows the blinking white light.

I went to an Apple service center, but they are asking ₹2500 just for diagnosis.

If anyone has faced a similar issue, please suggest a solution.

34 Ultrawide monitor recommendation?

Right now I’m using a 27-inch monitor, but sometimes it feels a bit small when working with multiple windows. I’m debating between:

•	34” ultrawide (3440×1440)

•	32” 4K (3840×2160)

My main use is productivity (browsing, coding).

Gah, when is M5 gonna be announced 😭

Figures I'd start shopping a new Mac right during a transition. Stocks are depleted everywhere. M5 is nowhere in sight. Are we really gonna have to wait until WWDC and then whatever the lead times are after that??

Are these lead times legit?

Trying to buy a Mac Mini and apparently theres a 6 week wait time for it to deliver? I’ve read online that it’s either due to people hoarding them for AI and/or Apple bottlenecking production due to the new M5s coming out soon.

Should I just cop being patient and order the M4 now or wait for a potential M5 to release sometime relatively soon? I don’t want to wait till WWDC as the different between M4 and M5 really wont make much difference to my usage.

Mac mini 2020(2018) jailbreak, worth it

Mid year 2020 bought a Mac mini (turned out to be 2018, still mad at that but oh well), bought this to use with boot camp so added memory etc. So many issues that I just built a windows box.

Since there is currently no software upgrade path for the 2018 versions would it be worth it to jailbreak it? I currently only use this as a part of my development environment so it only has code on it that’s backed up in GH (so very under utilized)
