Unplugged HDMI
Hello everyone. I’ve been reading forums for a couple days about this headless running of the m1 Mac mini. I need to ask what may be a stupid, but burning, question… What is the point exactly of these dummy HDMI plugs I’ve read about? I recently experimented with various conditions of the mini headless with VNC access. Mine works just fine if I unplug the HDMI at the TV where I usually run it to watch media. So the HDMI is connected to the mini but disconnected at the other end (in the hopes of saving wear on my television). Is this bad for any specific reason? TIA!!
