Weird Mac mini issue prompts Apple to take action
Following multiple reports of specific Mac mini computers failing to power on, Apple has launched a global repair program to sort the problem out. Apple launched the M2 Mac mini in January 2023, though the affected units were made between June 16 and November 23 of 2024, according to a notice about the repair program that was first spotted by MacRumors. Recommended Videos 'Apple has determined that a very small percentage of Mac mini (2023) devices with the M2 chip may no longer power on,' the tech giant said in the notice, which was published on its website. However, it declined to offer any details regarding the cause of the mysterious power issue. Digital Trends has reached out to the company to ask for more details and we'll update this article if we hear back. If your M2 Mac mini is one of the affected units, Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will fix it, free of charge. The company added that the program covers eligible Mac mini units for three years after the first retail sale of the unit. Finally, if you've moved country and taken your Mac mini with you, Apple said it may restrict or limit repair to the original country or region of purchase — get in touch with the company to learn more. Have an M2 Mac mini? If so, here are the steps you should take: – First, get your Mac mini's serial number so you can find out if you have an affected unit. You can do this by looking on the underside of the computer, or by checking the packaging that it came in. If your M2 Mac mini is still powering on, you can find the serial number by selecting the Apple icon at the top left of the screen, then selecting About This Mac, which brings up the serial number. – Enter the serial number into the online checker (available on the service program page) to confirm if your Mac mini is eligible for the repair program. – If it needs to be repaired, you'll be asked to choose how you want your Mac mini serviced, including via an Apple Authorized Retailer or an Apple retail store. Apple skipped an M3 Mac mini launch and instead brought out the M4 Mac mini in November 2024. The updated model features a smaller footprint and more power, with Digital Trends giving the Pro version a big thumbs-up in its hands-on review.

Unreleased Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti 20GB Founders Edition engineering sample sells for $1,999 on eBay
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A rare engineering sample of the Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition with 20GB of VRAM was recently sold in an auction on eBay. This specific variant never managed to reach retail, thus making it one of the most unusual Ampere-era GPUs to surface online. According to the listing, the auction concluded with the buyer offering $1,999, which is pretty wild for a high-end graphics card that is two-generations old. The seller included photos of the GPU, showing the original packaging box and a bright green sticker on the GPU that reads, 'Not for sale, for development only.' The seller also confirmed that the unit is in excellent condition and fully functional. However, since it is not a retail product, running games or any 3D workloads would require the use of a third-party driver such as Nvidia-patcher, as there are no official drivers available for this card. This could potentially translate to poor or unstable performance, although that remains unconfirmed. Image 1 of 3 Image 2 of 3 Image 3 of 3 The retail version of the RTX 3080 Ti made its official debut in June 2021 with a starting price of $1,199. It featured 12GB of GDDR6X memory and was essentially an RTX 3090 with half the VRAM and a smaller cooling solution. Introduced midway through Nvidia's regular product cycle, it offered higher specifications and performance compared to the RTX 3080. The first rumors of a 20GB RTX 3080 Ti sparked back in December 2020 when a Gigabyte EEC listing revealed several RTX 3080 Ti 20GB models. This was followed by a firmware anonymously uploaded to TechPowerUp, meant specifically for Gigabyte's range of RTX 3080 Ti 20GB GPUs. Eventually, in September 2021, a few months after the official launch of the RTX 3080 Ti, a cryptocurrency miner revealed in a YouTube video that retailers in Russia were selling Gigabyte branded RTX 3080 Ti 20GB GPUs ranging from $2,733 to $2,837. The individual managed to get hold of a rare Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Xtreme (GV-N308TAORUS X-20GD), which was purchased from HARDVAR, a retail store in Saint Petersburg. At the time of posting the video, the GPU was priced at $3,067. The video also revealed that the only difference between the two GeForce RTX 3080 Ti models was the memory capacity. The 20GB variant offered a 67% increase in GDDR6X memory compared to the standard 12GB version. However, the higher memory model came with a narrower 320-bit memory bus instead of 384-bit. As a result, the 20GB model had lower memory bandwidth of 760 GBps compared to 912 GBps on the 12GB version. It is possible that the RTX 3080 Ti 20GB was planned as a counter to AMD's high-VRAM Radeon offerings at the time. Perhaps it was intended to target users who prioritized memory capacity for gaming, crypto, or creative workloads. Whether Nvidia changed its mind due to production constraints, shifting strategy, or overlapping performance tiers, this unreleased GPU will likely go on to become a "what-if" in Nvidia's Ampere lineup.

Big Brands Are Spending More on Influencer Marketing -Should You Be Doing the Same?
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. Influencer marketing budgets are growing, as more and more brands look to tap into the popularity of online creators to boost their branding efforts. Because these days, big-name YouTubers and TikTok stars are just as recognizable as TV and film actors, while there are also many niche-specific influencers offering more specialized reach, as well as platform-specific creative nous, which can help to drive your messaging with just the right audience. Indeed, according to a recent report from Statista, the global influencer marketing industry is expected to grow 36% between 2024 and 2025, reaching close to $33 billion in total. That shift is being largely driven by big-name brands, who are now re-aligning their budgets to follow the lead of emerging online stars like MrBeast. As reported by Bloomberg: 'Unilever PLC's recently appointed CEO, Fernando Fernandez, said he would hire 20 times more influencers as part of a social-first marketing strategy because consumers are 'suspicious' of corporate branding […] within the last year, Publicis Groupe SA bought Influential, the largest influencer marketing company in the world by revenue, and BR Media Group, a leader in Latin America that works with 80 percent of the region's biggest influencers.' These shifts underline the value of online influencers, who are now seen as your best bet for reaching the next generation of digital native audiences, who've never lived in a world where YouTube didn't exist, and they didn't have full control over their content intake. That's a significant consideration, while as noted, the added value here is that these creators know what works on each platform, and how to frame brand messages in a more audience-friendly way. As such, partnering with the right influencers can significantly boost your brand promotion efforts, and help to align your content with a broader audience, particularly those in younger age groups. Because while you may not understand the latest online trends, these creators are often leading those shifts, and can help to integrate your promotions with such. Influencer marketing shouldn't be a side note anymore, it should be a key discussion point among your marketing team, with a view to aligning with the right voices to help boost your brand. That doesn't mean that every brand will be able to afford to work with the top influencers in their niche, nor that every business should be investing a significant portion of their marketing budget in this element. But it should at least be a discussion, in order to ensure that you're aligning with the latest content trends and shifts. The big-name brands are spending on these influencers for a reason, which is worth noting for your marketing efforts. You can review potential brand influencers on Meta's Creator Marketplace, TikTok's Creator Marketplace, and Snapchat's Lens Creator Directory, among others.
