I suppose seeing the price tag for non-Apple-installed RAM is what bugs people when they reach for their mouse to increase the RAM prior to purchase. Is this RAM they install more expensive because it has to be formatted differently from the manufacturer in order to accommodate the Mac assembly process for their drives? Is the memory in a smaller footprint than, say, RAM chips for the 2018 Mac mini? I get the whole thing about paying for stability up front, but it always seems I'm getting gouged for it. Getting nicked is expected; it's the gouging that leaves a bad taste.

If I understand properly, ram is now packed into chip, and essentially apple is deactivating the silicon you do not pay for

Price coming down but still too expensive (for me).

I’ve bought kindle fire for 30 euro one year ago and have not used our old Apple TV 3 since then. We used the kindle fire even when traveling, as it takes energy from HDMI.

once I move my HT to 4K will check again about Apple offerings in this space

I’m of the idea that a great part of this “right to privacy” is BS.
As of the quantity of data that a company like FB/snap/Apple/google has about interactions with content my guess is that most of what we hear is noise.
