Happy to report since owning my 2018 mac mini since launch that with the BIG SUR update the startup chime is back, it even has more bass to it then the older startup chimes.

I thought they did away with the startup chime.... I have some old iMac G5's here, the startup chime is my favorite part.....when I heard it, I always knew the recap was successful!

Re: macOS Big SUR changed my life
They did only on the 2016 up Macs but the old 2017 carry over air still had it, now its enabled again for all macs but you can disable it in the sound control panel.Originally posted by Topcat View PostI thought they did away with the startup chime....

Re: macOS Big SUR changed my life
if you watched the video, apple was already doing it - possibly for years.
the update just puts a stop to you blocking it.
IMO apple turned to the darkside when they left Motorola and started using Intel.
and that's another thing, all these intel based machines have the ME filth in them - that's as bad as it could get.
the ME is a seperate microcontroller that can acess your harddrives, ram and networking even in sleepmode.
maybe that's why the latest windows versions dont like to do a proper shutdown - just a thought!!Last edited by stj; 11-15-2020, 05:52 AM.Comment

Re: macOS Big SUR changed my life
at least m$ has ways to stop or severely halt telemetry collection

I don't believe there is any way to disable it in mosCap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: macOS Big SUR changed my life
Worse, is when you have a pre-10th-gen Core i-series processor and the motherboard maker refused to give a UEFI BIOS update to include the latest update to Intel CSME. (converged security and management engine) (for the very late versions of the ME)Originally posted by stj View Post
Some people are left in the cold, because the computer makers refused to offer a BIOS with an updated CSME for PCs with a 9th-gen Core i series and earlier!ASRock B550 PG Velocita

Re: macOS Big SUR changed my life
I have a 2014 macbook air but so far I think i'll stay away from the update with my older machines, the 2018 mini was crashing for no reason with 10.14.6 mojave so updating to big sur ive had no more crashes, traded my privacy for stability i guess, sad that it crashed more then my windows machines....Originally posted by Per Hansson View PostMy Computer: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, Asrock X370 Killer SLI/AC, 32GB G.SKILL TRIDENT Z RGB DDR4 3200, 500GB WD Black NVME and 2TB Toshiba HD,Geforce RTX 3080 FOUNDERS Edition, In-Win 303 White, EVGA SuperNova 750 G3, Windows 10 ProComment
