  • Ditto to your comment except power usage. I moved my Plex/Jellyfin (and hopefully Immich soon) docker containers to an N100 for the hardware acceleration. TDP is 6 watts on some of these devices and CPU use sits around 2% unless Plex is doing DB optimizations (about 60% for a bit). I haven’t measured consumption or my older server, but I feel moving some CPU intensive services to hardware GPU is saving a few watts.









  • I don’t think purchase info is necessary tied to hardware out of the box beyond asset tracking. That would cause issues with gifting.

    The easy answer is if you don’t run the software, it can’t collect data.

    However, the firmware is network capable and certain diagnostic tools and recovery modes can call home. I am not familiar to the extent, however.

    This also does not stop other devices, Apple included, from detecting the Mac and reporting home hardware/location data.
