While in the midst of a brutal summer, I am glad that over the years, I've gradually shifted to cooler running computer equipment at home. Since switching to a Mac Studio as my daily driver, I've noticed how much more efficient my home air conditioning is. I hardly ever see the Mac Studio use more than 50W from the wall regardless of what I'm doing.
I'm also using a Raspberry Pi 4 to handle most of my home server needs. The little Pi runs a bunch of services and never breaks a sweat. You can see the services it's running and the temps below.
I no longer even keep my Z370-G build on my desk anymore and I'm about ready to either give it away or repurpose the hardware for some other use. The Mac Studio does everything I need faster, better, and cooler. I also don't even need Windows for anything anymore since moving to retro emulation gaming and discovering a macOS compatible piece of software for uploading stuff to usenet. If/when I ever need to run a Windows app, I can do it through a UTM virtual machine running Windows 11 on Arm.
So, moving forward, I won't be able to test EFI updates before posting and will need help from you guys to inform me if anything is broken. I want to, at the very least, provide working EFIs until macOS Ventura is released.
