Maybe you should stop buying things from Apple and all others who manufacturers in China.  

Oh wait, you won’t.  

I’m not arguing that Apple shouldn’t move out of China.  But I just want to point out the obvious hypocrisy. 

Yep, tiring mantra of “bring manufacturing back” is the epitome of hypocrisy by those who will look at two shirts, one from Asia, the other made in the U.S.A. by union garment makers, and select the Asian made shirt because it’s half the price of the union made shirt. Same goes for automobiles, steel , pharmaceuticals,  electronics, etc. And these same hypocrites are also the ‘activists’ demanding a $15/hr minimum wage but continue to buy products made by workers who earn a tenth of that.

Yes, we really need to come to grips with that:   We want high salaries, great benefits, 3 week vacations plus holidays, family leave, etc., etc., etc.,

Then we get upset when the place (wherever it may be) makes better products cheaper using workers who are happily living in dormitories (much like American coal miners of the early 20th century because its better than the alternative).

We are living in the past.   This ain't the 1950's & 60's anymore where we had no competition.

That doesn't mean that we can't compete.   It simply means we have to compete in those areas where we do it better & cheaper than anybody else.   That's how free market capitalism works -- and globally, over the long haul it's ALL free market capitalism -- regardless of the form of government of individual nations.

If China can do it better than the U.S. the reward goes to China

If (say) South Korea can it better than China the reward goes to South Korea.

...  Nobody gets a free pass.  Not for long.

Always fascinated by your reverence for the totalitarian regime in China.

This entire article is complete bullshit. 78° F is NOT ‘unbearably hot’ under any setting. A three month old child will NOT dehydrate in 78° F. Sheesh, talk about hysteria.

And this is just the beginning. Expect mandatory environmental control to increase as demand for energy rises geometrically while fossil fueled power plants are shut down, hydroelectric dams are blown up, and nuclear plants are blocked at every turn by environmentalists. Fusion power will remain a pipe dream for decades to come. Wind and solar panels cannot store enough energy to meet daily loads, let alone base loads.

Come on Apple, we need a non-overpriced MacProMini with Desktop level components, for normal people. It'll be a hit with the gaming crowd, developers and be a good general purpose computer.

Don't include a GPU by default, so that we can just install our own and use it for gaming.

Not no way, no how, not gonna happen. And by the way, the current Mac Pro is not in any way overpriced for what it is, a real pro machine that's right up there with the big work stations. You really should just go to MicroCenter, pick up a bunch of parts off the shelves, assemble your dream gaming machine, and be happy. If you haven’t gotten the memo yet, know that Apple does not want you for a customer.

I hope Safari will support an option to render tabs the way they are now.

Adapt or move on to something else.

I hope the 30” comes with some USB-A, ports, six TB4s, and room for internal expansion like blade ssd.   

But I know it won’t.  

Thank God they won’t, actually.
