Maybe it's the 10gb Ethernet SKU for the M1 Mac Minis that was recently rumored.

I think this is unlikely. I'd expect 10g to be an option on a higher-end Mac mini configuration (M1 Plus, or something) with four Thunderbolt ports.

Agreed - the lack of 10g is probably the SoC or else it would have been an easy thing to offer. 

It’a a phenomenal computer. I’ve been enjoying it so far.

No native Spotify support, no can do.

I won’t be upgrading to this mess anytime soon.  

What mess?  I’ve upgraded one of my Macs and it’s been working perfectly, even with some non-standard apps that I didn’t think would work.

What’s your concern?

Thanks. My concern is privacy. I don’t want Apple to be aware of where I am, what I use and when. It’s why I chose Apple over Google.  

This article feels like it is justifying gross negligence on Apple’s side.

It is not relevant if Apple cannot or won’t do anything with the data. It shouldn’t home back without knowledge of the end user like that, and it shouldn’t do it unprotected.

Some have missed the point. Apple is knowingly sending unencrypted certificate requests to third party servers! This includes your IP and location. In Big Sur, this cannot be turned off. Huge privacy risk. 

The entire article is sugarcoating poor behavior on Apple’s end; happy_cycling summarized it in a paragraph. This is what happens - very simple - and it is completely out of line. I do not understand why the article requires so many words to justify this. It makes the article sound more like propagandist work than anything else.

Edit: I was reading a version of the news item without the part of Apple’s plans for next year. It’s great they are improving this, and by this also a (legally safe) admission of a screw-up on their end.
