It’s from a news organisation called “MacWorld”. What were you expecting exactly?

Maybe not this specific thing, but Apple is super influential on the industry as a whole and when other companies see people tolerate Apple’s bullshit, they follow suit.

Yep. I am reminded of 3.5mm audio jack being removed from phones because Tim Cook was ‘brave’.

Well I do think the high cost of expansion RAM in Apple products is tied to school shootings, gerrymandering, and the prison industrial complex.

That is in the context of “Apple customers”.

Just a thought.

If I’m being generous, it’s macworld.com speaking to an audience of Apple users.

But no, I am not paying for it. I’m over here drooling at M1 chips, but then stopping when I see the baggage that comes with it.

Ms are only worth drooling over as far as power consumption. Relatively cheap 7840u outperforms M2 in every benchmark. I9s are just in a completely different league.

I’ll wait for Snapdragon X Elite from a more reasonable company or a RISC-V chip in a Linux laptop if stars really align.
