Are you plugging/unplugging monitors or other hardware? With macs it’s always that for some reason.

No, literally just sitting there with no peripherals attached, doing nothing more complex then playing a 4k video and web browsing.

    Okay, so?

      If there's an issue, how are they supposed to know about it? Via osmosis? Even if they should have found it earlier, they didn't, so now what? You should tell them, so they can fix it.

        Yes, but what is the point adding to this comment chain? Just saying random things in response to a comment is not the typical HN norm.

        Well, you're the one with the bug. It'd be weird to reply to someone who isn't experiencing one.
        MichaelZuo 3y ago
        That only matters if the reply has some value, benefits the passing reader, etc. Otherwise the default choice is to not write a comment.

  It’s probably a hardware issue. My Macs stay up for months and have since Jaguar days. I use them for around 7-8 years, after that hardware starts to glitch or get obsolete. I can count on one hand the number of kernel panics I’ve had on each during this time.

    My previous mac would crash every few days inexplicably. I thought it was mac os x becoming less stable. Then I switched to a new mac (the m1) and stability improved significantly so yes that does make sense.

My M2 pro gets plugged in to the work monitor most days and then unplugged and taken home and plugged in to my monitor at home - 10 or so screen configuration changes a week... I've never found I've need to restart due to any issues with any regularity with this one or my old 2015 MBP that this replaced. I installed the most recent update five days ago, would have been weeks since the last reboot. From my experience, I'd probably put it down to some software they've installed, or yes, possibly an actual hardware fault with that particular unit.
