"The Mac Mini doesn't have a problem. It is probably isolated to your machine only."

It seems like every single mac for the last few years has had this issue and then was fixed with it's own patch a couple months later. Can they not just make this patch before they ship the damn things?

I tried updating, but it didn't work! . Found out my Mac Mini wasn't plugged in. Boy do I feel silly! LOL!!
Seriously, there's no fix for 2011 Mini's with the same problem?
