I don't understand. Those who say that the mac doesn't need to be shut down don't heat up?

From win to mac, macmini m4 has been using high intensity for half a year, but the problem of sleep fever has not been solved. The standby temperature can reach more than 60 degrees. I connected macmini to a Xiaomi socket, and the sleep power consumption is higher than normal use. Can you stand this? At the beginning, I also searched the Internet for solutions. What software to watch power consumption should not be used, what settings prevent automatic sleep, what activity monitor checks which program consumes power, etc. Basically, I have used all kinds of methods. Usually, I just turn on the Mijia plug to see how much power it consumes. There is no accident. It is completely metaphysical. It depends purely on your mood. There is no pattern. The power consumption will be low and high.
And the most important thing is the problem of memory leakage. The windowsever doesn't shut down for a few days, which directly occupies several g memory. I have seen no less than ten posts on windowsever in the station, but there is no solution. Don't ask, ask is restart. Since you have nothing to do, it's better to shut down when you don't use it. Apple users are really adaptable. Speaking of which, I have to complain about homepod by the way.
Let's talk about macmini. Since last week, I turn it off every time I use it. I give up the bad habit of looking at power consumption when I have nothing to do. The body is cold, and it is easy and stress-free to touch when I turn it on. How to use it comfortably. If there is any means to solve the problems of heating and memory leakage, I would still like to leave it unshuttered. The key point is that these two problems are very common. I have seen on the Internet that not only macmini, but also mac studio and MacBook are available. I can only say that there are many unsatisfactory places in macos.

Anonymous11800 May 23, 2025I bought Macmin m4 for the first time, and it hasn't been turned off or hibernated until now. Run a few docker. 11:05 up 195 days, 12:05, 8 users, load averages: 2.08 1.67 1.46 Under normal circumstances, 2w, it feels a bit cold. It can be reduced to 1w by unplugging the peripherals. https://imgur.com/a/ciLuwk0

Anonymous6519 May 23, 2025If you don't restart for too long, there will occasionally be some inexplicable problems. For example, I didn't shut down my phone for more than a month. I suddenly couldn't open any web page yesterday. After restarting, it was completely normal

Anonymous3492 May 23, 2025This is still Win's thinking, always paying attention to memory usage, macOS doesn't need to pay attention to these at all As for the standby temperature of 60 degrees you mentioned, it must be abnormal. Did you not sleep at all? Used to prevent automatic sleep? In addition, it's okay not to turn off the phone after use, but I usually turn off Chrome conveniently.

Anonymous716 May 23, 2025@ Anonymous10165 # 59 It's exactly the same. I glance at iStat from time to time and kill it when I find that the occupancy is high, but there has been no problem for a long time

Anonymous11801 May 23, 2025Don't worry about the power heating, just restart if the memory leaks. It's easy to use if you don't want to so much.

Anonymous2190 May 23, 2025! [] (https://b2.xac.one/2025/05/fda42c726a68dca5bf3f22f3eb5ae1d0. webp) If there is a problem, solve the problem. I don't even shut down windows. mac, windows, and linux will all encounter sleep and memory leak problems. Of course, I don't have to shut down when there is no problem.

Anonymous3004 May 23, 2025Time since boot: 7 days, 3 hours, 3 minutes In my experience of more than ten years, there is no need to shut down the phone at all. My boot time is generally calculated from the date of the last system update.

Anonymous3004 May 23, 2025Apple's power management mechanism for Macbook is similar to that of a mobile phone, just like locking the screen when you don't use it, but it won't shut down.

Anonymous11806 May 23, 2025I also often have memory leaks. The one I have located so far has at least pycharm. After driving it for a long time, the pressure will keep rising, and it will obviously become stuck
