About

Business/Sponsorship inquiries - Email me [email protected] Apple Computer Reviews, tech reviews, home networking and some DIY and upgrades/installs.. Also physics and occasional experiments and a bit of edutainment for interesting historical general concepts. I closely follow the LiDAR sector and specifically a company called Microvision. My name is Nicholas Johnson. My formal education is in mechanical engineering and math - but I am a photographer @nicholas_james_johnson instagram and I work in the art world designing and installing truss and lighting plans for art fairs around the United States. I love computers, and make videos about Apple Silicon, Raspberry Pi 5 and I build PC's. As always, editing help from Nicholas Crider.

Video Description

I built a NAS, a network attached storage device out of a base model M4 Mac mini. I use it for Plex, I use it as centralized storage, I use it for time machine backups and its faster and better than my Synology NAS in every single way.
