New Mac mini release sees old server and 2TB option go

Image
Apple unveiled the new Mac mini yesterday complete with two Thunderbolt 2.0 ports, 4th generation Intel chipsets with the latest HD Graphics 5000, Wi-Fi ac and more but it all comes at a cost. The old Mac mini is no more, naturally, but so is the Mac mini server option. There’s also no 2TB variant on sale and you can top things off at 1TB of Fusion Drive or SSD-only storage. The latest OS X Yosemite server is currently in testing so we might see a new Mac mini server soon but the 2TB storage option doesn’t look likely to return. Apple gives you the option to go for 1TB of Fusion (SSD+HDD) storage or 256GB of SSD for the same price on the middle and high-end Mac mini options ($699 and $999 respectively) but some users might want the extra 1TB as well.

In order for your Android phone or tablet to host a USB device such as an Arduino, you need a USB On-The-Go (OTG) cable. You can buy these for a few bucks online, but if you have old USB cables around it’s more fun to make one!  Step 1: All you need are two donor USB cables, one with a female type A end like you’d find on a USB extension cable (shown in the first photo here) and one with a male micro B end (second photo). When you’re finished, you’ll have a cable that plugs into your phone on one side and accepts a standard USB cable on the other. First, cut your 2 donor cables to expose the red, black, white, and green wires within, and strip the insulation off the tips. Match up the wire colors from both sides of your soon-to-be Frankencable and solder them together. Insulate the soldered joints from each other using shrink tubing, electrical tape, or hot glue. Don’t forget to connect the braided shielding as well — that’s the uninsulated stranded wire that surrounds the 4 colore...
