Does anyone know if this Mac Mini can survive longer than a year? Apple's approach to hardware design doesn't prioritize thermal issues.
I've had an M1 Mac Mini inside a hot dresser drawer with a TV on top since 2020.
It doesn't do much other than act as a media server. But it's jammed pretty tight in there with an eero wifi router, an OTA ATSC DVR, a box that records HDMI, a 4K AppleTV, a couple of external drives, and a full power strip. That's why it's hot.
So far, no problems. Except for once when I moved, it's been completely hands-off. Software updates are done over VNC.
