@RockyC AWE, looks like Chase blocked me. Guess my remarks were too harsh for them, (ie: too truthful). :)
I was honestly looking forward to a meaningful discussion about the repairability and upgradibility of #Apple products, (or COMPLETE lack thereof), but guess I won't.
@cdp1337 I really am angry at Apple for switching up their business model. I LOVED my Macs. I still have 6 Macs in my home, but only two of them run macOS as their primary operating system, and I refuse to buy ANY new Macs as long as they are non-upgradeable & non-repairable.
What Apple is doing by shipping undersized soldered SSDs in their Macs is CRIMINAL.
@RockyC I completely agree, and yeah, it's a shame. They have the capability and engineering experience to make amazing products, but instead focus too much on building disposable equipment and locking down everything possible. These aren't e-readers that have their contents entirely in the cloud; they're meant to be WORKSTATIONS.
Another example I thought of; if my phone crashes and burns, no biggie, it's just a terminal for my data stored in a private self-hosted cloud. If a laptop dies unexpectedly, yes I have backups, but ideally I want to be able to move those drives to another device and keep on grinding.
As long as they hold their stance on consumer right-to-repair with their products, I'll never touch or recommend an Apple product to anyone. Simple as that.
