  • Theoretically, you can upgrade RAM & SSD on your M1 Mac mini, but you shouldn't

    So, in essence, if you don't have the extra funds to pay for additional RAM or drive space and you want to upgrade those at a later time, you're out of luck. 

    No thanks. 
    Then you’ll be leaving the Mac platform shortly, right? Because this is the future of the Mac. 

    Yes I will. The last macOS is with Catalina. So I asked friend who left Apple development at Cupertino about 2 years ago. He said the same. He is on his last Mac. In fact you can get now Linux desktop computer that has everything that macOS has including store for apps that you can install from. It works the same as on mac computers and in fact even better because apps downloaded outside integrate with App Store installer at the moment you start installing app instead bothering you with notorious and dumb questions if you want to start downloaded application (I have disabled that "security" check option from Catalina permanently). Most of remote work applicatuions including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Citrix client, Amazon Workspaces, Slack and many others work on Linux desktops natively now (yes now manufactirers brought them to Linux) and if something does not work you can always run Windows version of software using Crossover emulation layer (or WineHQ if you want to experiment and tweak). Apple macOS e-mail client sucks like hell with its limitations comparing to eM Client that runs just like that on Linux and natively on macOS and Windows 10.

    In fact, you can get nowadays ASUS small footprint 8 core AMD computer - something Apple should have considered before making not oso wise decision on going M1 - that does not have Spectre or Meltdown security issues and outperforms majority of computers on the market including Apple M1. It also takes Linux Mint that resembles Windows 10 interface and if you want other proven desktop and setup looking almost exactly ike macOS then you can get Ubuntu and reconfigure it. It is more secure without gimmicks applied by Apple on SSD, EFI and proprietary hardware. On top of that it runs 4 4K monitors at the same time or 8K. All other newest protocols and all shebang that Apple will be coming probably soon with, but after AMD.

    Guess what in experiment i installed Linux Mint 20 on old MacBook Air from 2011 on replaced SSD (Samsung 860 EVO) installed in that old unsported mac and it seems to run better than macOS without complaining about hardware, no support or speed issues and freezing apps.

    I left the Mac platform in 1994. 
    Then why are you here? Makes no sense.

    Because we want to see what can be improved with failed Apple ideas. Do you hget it now? And yes I used to design hardware and computers in '90 so soldering for me or ordering electronic parts reserved for suppliers may not be that much problem.

    I would say “anything would be better than the current remote” but that gives them way too much leeway to prove me wrong once again. Why is apple so bad at peripherals? 
    The people who created that meme are the same type of people that would’ve left the charging cord in the mouse permanently if given the option. 

    How do you know who are those people? You do not know anything, but make assumtions you know something. Stop judging. Leran more about behaviors.

  • LG considers exiting smartphone business after $4.4B loss in 2020

    AWESOME NEWS!!

    I told iKnockoff morons years ago to expect companies to shut down Apple knockoff arms.

    Also, why would anyone buy that arm? It’s legal to just make your own knockoff iPhones. Even KFC (yes, that one) has a knockoff iPhone.

    I predict Sony to be next to shut down their knockoff iPhone arm. (If they already haven’t)

    It really boils down to two, Apple and Samsung. The others are totally irrelevant, including Google’s Pixel which isn't even a blip on the sales rankings. So it wouldn’t surprise me to see some bureaucrat decide that government subsidies are needed to keep ‘competition’ alive, or to force iPhone clones into being. 

    You-know-who is gonna come in and say “but Google’s goal isn’t to sell them!!”

    That is from someone who have not seen or used LG phone at least  once. Well I switched from iPhones (two odf them) to LG and I was shocked how much Apple was behind in sound quality and screen quality comparing to G7 two years ago. Do not get me even started because you sound like ignorant. Samsung could not match few aspects of LG. Still in use today.

    And only fool cheers at competition shudown preparing to himselfnoos for neck with being closer to monopoly. I lived in '90... when we had choice... of Microsoft and Apple was nobody. That was not good and changed thank to two individuals: Steve Jobs and Linus Torvalds.
