I had the same problem. I ended up filing off a bit on the far edge.
I’ve got a few devices running and it’s pretty cool. Don’t really have a use case for it though!
I have an M1 Macbook air and use an M1 Pro MacBook Pro for work. For everyday usage I can’t tell a difference in performance. I don’t use them for any video editing or encoding so can’t comment on that. There has been a decrease in performance after upgrading to Sonoma though
The air has genuinely impressed me. The amount of performance you get from a passively cooled, low power device is crazy
The Scarlett solo has both an XLR input and a 1/4” input (can only use 1 at a time)
I’ve had my fair share of issues with Cisco, but my horror story comes from a pair of Dell EMC switches.
During a datacentre migration, the 2 aforementioned switches just would not communicate with each other. They were stacked together using virtual link trunking. There was nothing in the logs to suggest there was a problem, and everything was reported as up.
After nearly 24 hours of panic and scouring nearly every resource I could find, I came across an offhand comment in a reddit post about a certificate. This lead me down a rabbit hole where I eventually found the answer. Turns out the Dell CA certificate had expired and we needed to use a dodgy looking python script to replace the certificate. Boy was I relieved when everything kicked back into life again.
