I think this is a great option.  What I do see happening are users that have zero business doing this, attempting it without doing the proper research, bricking their Mac mini's and blaming Apple for it.  They will be the ones ruining it for everyone else and could result in Apple putting in some kind of firmware lock on future Mac mini models to prevent the upgrade.

The only people that want rid of DEI are the ones that don't benefit from it. Selfish assholes that don't understand history or how we got here, benefiting from the generations that came before that allowed people to exist and have power that aren't straight white men.

Systematic racism and sexism created a society in which the people making decisions didn't represent the makeup of the populace. It isn't about "just pick the not white one" it's about "we've hired 70% white men this quarter, let's ensure that at least some of our workforce is diverse by hiring qualified individuals from minority representations."

Crying "hire based on merit" is funny because it implies that DEI hires aren't qualified for the job. If someone is hired because of a need to meet DEI quotas, it is because they are qualified and help meet the quotas. The funny part is that the people complaining about DEI are usually the people that are disqualified from the hiring process, not because they are white, but because they are bigoted, privileged assholes that are likely terrible coworkers and a terrible fit for the workplace, and likely less qualified because they didn't have to work as hard for the position.

Be better. All I'm seeing are racist and sexist dog whistles from the anti-DEI crowd.

Oh more. More CEOs should be fired when they fork up. That’s what the insane money is for.
