There's nothing to argue about, go watch the Keynote where Steve Jobs introduced the Mac mini. The point was to be a low-cost, bring-your-own display/mouse/keyboard Mac for switchers.
No, the whole point of the Mac mini was a low-cost entry Mac. Removing RAM slots increases the cost of entry because you have to pay for the Mac mini and extra RAM right at the beginning. At Apple's RAM prices on top of that. It couldn't be further from the idea of the Mac mini.
And they didn't simply "not update the Mac mini" they actually went out of their way to downgrade the machine. A slow 1.4GHz on the low-end model? Soldered RAM so you're forced to pay Apple's RAM prices at the moment of purchase for future-proofing your machine?
I'm guessing Tim Cook really believes his "iPad is better than a laptop" nonsense. All the profits in the world means nothing if they can't make decent Macs anymore. Some of us need computers to work, not toys.
It's not like Apple really cares about Macs anymore. The last Mac mini update in 2014 was even a downgrade from their 2012 models. The Mac mini slide from the Keynote even implied that SSD was standard, but it's not. Still using 5400 RPM HDDs in their overpriced 2017 computers. Shame on you, Apple.
The poor people that actually have to work at such shit jobs will be happy that they can buy products cheaply no matter where they come from because otherwise they could not buy them at all.

I'm sorry, when did the topic switch to elections in the U.S.A.?
As long as it doesn't move in an irregular decagon pattern, we should be alright.
And your comment seems to have a lot to do with YOUR misconceptions about Dogecoin.

Oh yeah? Fuck you, companies. I'm an Atmel man.
I hate to break it to you, but you're still in the holodeck.
Is his first name "Montgomery" by any chance?

Stop posting sense.

For a second, I read that as "Samsung Gear VR sucks boobs" and I was willing to give it a chance.
The prank would be to have Unicode support for April 1st and remove it 24 hours later.
You know what works even better? Ripping out the USB ports.
People still pay for cable TV, newspapers and magazines? They've never heard of teh intarweb?
Signed,

Bulk blowjobs? What the hell kind of store is that?
Really? No matter where they come from?
I wouldn't call those things brick and mortar stores.
And if everything fails, there's always one last resort.
So, do you help the companies by not buying from both Amazon and Walmart?
I wish Slashdot would invest in better UTF-8 support. Itâ(TM)s getting ridiculous.
