Done in Minecraft User option to disable the animated logo

Animated logos spike my CPU core and drive temps way high. Admittedly my machine is a mac mini from 2011. But hey it's fully paid for :) Normal core temps are 40ish C, with animated logo ~65-70C

Edit: browser plugin "ublock origin" did the trick. I still have the Poal logo, but the animation is gone.

I'm just now breaking this baby in. I found a rubbermaid container just a little bigger than the mini I use as a positive pressure chamber. I put the mini in the container, cut a hole in the lid of the container, mounted two computer CPU fans blowing downward to the underside of the lid, and a rectangle 4 inch by 8 inch automotive air filter on top of the lid. I cut a 1 inch diameter hole on the side, through which all the cables run. So air is pulled through the filter, and blown down on top of the mini. The only escape hole is on the side where I have a little bit of string that waves around and shows me air is blowing out. Mini has stayed 99.999% dust and hair free for over a decade :)

Impressive engineering but odd.

I spent most all of the DOS and Windows 3.x days hand building my own PCs and can't tell you how many times I'd open a computer case and it's like someone emptied a vacuum bag in there. So back in 2011 I decided A) I'd get a mac instead of a dell Windows machine; and B) I'd make a dustproof case for it since it was so small, any dust buildup at all would be too much.
The mini and the case I made for it have been working like champs flawlessly. There are some apps, however, that have started to complain since my OS is out of date and can't be updated any further. I know I'll need to update, but every year I put it off means when I do get a new one, it'll be that much better. Maybe in I can pencil it in for 2026.
