i just turned on a mac mini from 2018, and it didn’t make the “dooong” sound that i remember macs making. i almost never turn it off, so i never noticed it before

people who complain about it being gone are why all new sports cars play synthesized engine noises through the stereo

The old command was

sudo nvram BootAudio=%01

The new command is

sudo nvram StartupMute=%00

now putting that same led on a magsafe charger without a replaceable cable which is guaranteed to fray and cost you another $80? no expenses spared then

you can bring it back with terminal commands but it's dumb as poo poo they removed something that has been core to the user experience and brand for literally 40 years and is a trivial element to do.

god the 2016 are a travesty. Removed the chime for no reason, ruined the keyboards, and the USB-C is buggy as all hell doing things as simple as HDMI out, plus the display cabling is so poo poo it will physically destroy itself over a period of a few years.
