I think I understand….
So the fact mines using a lot of memory is just because it can. It’s not meaning that it’s running out of memory?
Got a tip for us?

Finally got my hands on some new silicon today!
Memory that isn't being used is being wasted up to a point. Having some space is a good thing but there is no benefit in having 16GB and aggressively purging to keep it at say 8GB usage.
So while we wait for our MacBook Pro's to arrive I have a question.... What are your thoughts on CPU and GPU stress tests??
Ive seen a few videos in the past were they explain stressing the CPU and GPU in the beginning will make the thermal paste hot and melt into the micro grooves of the CPU making the paste evenly spread out and potentially make the CPU preform slightly better, even if its only 1 or 2 percent.
It kinda makes sense to me but just wondered what are your thoughts on this?

My 9th-12 is still firmly stuck in processing. The FOMO is brutal.
Lots of people stuck with the ups mechanical issues!

Cheers - read your post this morning and put an order in from Currys and cancelled the Apple order. Machine will be delivered tomorrow 👍
Order is STILL processing (for delivery from yesterday) but finally the help text has changed from 'We have everything we need to complete your order etc etc', to 'We're preparing your order and will notify you when it ships' so hopefully the status change is about to update.
Well I’m very confused about mine now!
Apple store website - ‘arriving soon’ (previously 2 Nov)
Apple store app - ‘arriving 8-11 Nov’ (original window)
DHL tracking - ‘picked up’ in Shanghai (no update for 2 days)

Excellent! You won’t regret. Curry’s have stock of all the standard models ready for next day delivery at the moment!
I wouldn't worry about this. DHL shipment tracking from China is virtually non-existent and often will only update when it arrives in Europe (Netherlands or Germany). Once there it's normally an overnight journey to reach you. I suspect that you'll get it on Friday or Monday. Good luck.
Command-Shift+3 (or 4 or 5) are invaluable shortcuts to know (if you don't know them already!)
My original delivery date was the 29th to 2nd. Fingers crossed for Friday here 😅
Anyone read Korean?
Hope the MacBooks weren’t on this plane!

인천공항서 UPS화물기 동체 들림 사고···“인명 피해는 없어”
인천공항 화물터미널에서 UPS 화물기가 무게 중심을 잃고 꼬리 부분이 바닥에 닿는 사고가 발생했다. 인천국제공항공사는 27일 오전 9시56분쯤 인천공항 화물계류장 631 주기장에서 UPS 화물기 뒷부분이 땅에 부딪히
My unhappy story of receiving a dead max 16" from Apple yesterday ended happily with me managing to take delivery of one from Currys that actually works today.
Well I say ended, the story isn't really over till I've returned and been refunded for the dead one, but at least today I can appreciate what this machine has to offer.
The first thing I would say about this machine is that the speakers have vastly exceeded my expectations. They have built upon what they achieved with iPad Pro and other M1 MacBook speakers in recent years and pushed things even further towards 'great enough to use instead of large dedicated speakers' than I would have imagined possible.

It still astounds me that people didn't realise you could customise the Touch Bar and take the Siri button out
Also, you can remap the screenshot buttons to one of the function keys if you need
Thats what I use already with the Touch Bar. The bit I like is quickly changing the screenshot between clipboard, desktop and messages.
Only 2 accidental Siri activations so far today.

In summary, they lifted the front of the plane to do maintenance on the main landing gear. In doing so, the tail hit the ground and hydraulic fluid was leaked. They say the plane was empty of cargo at the time but it wouldn't surprise me if that was the plane that was supposed to carry a bunch of stuff, including a load of MacBooks, to Europe.

Cancelled my original order of a 14” 10/16/32GB/1TB. Had to wait a week for the funds to go back into my account.
Now ordered a base 14” with 1TB as my original order was more based on the hype and turned out to be complete overkill for my use case.
New estimated delivery is 29th Nov - 3rd Dec but hopefully it will turn up quicker than that.

Can’t seem them getting that plane airborne and back in service they quick! Am expecting a delay now for sure on the MacBooks
I have read that, but never bothered to customise it. The obvious course of action is to just tut at it, put customising it onto the list of things I'll never get around to and then blow £3k on a laptop to fix the problem.
The only sensible course of action I think we can all agree.
I do think that might be the plane.
The picture in that article shows 572 above the front landing gear.
Flight 5X10 was supposed to go to Shanghai but was the one that turned around and landed.
