    And the parent did not specify MacBook Pro, only Macs. You used one of the two only Macs regularly upgraded to defend Apple, I simply told you the truth. The MacBook Air (2015), Mac mini (2014, a downgrade of the 2012 model too) and Mac Pro (2013) are not upgraded regularly at all.

    WTF happened is that Tim Cook is an iPad user, NOT a Mac user.
    WTF happened is that Tim Cook lets Jony Ive rule the design of things, even letting him priorize form over function.
    WTF happened is that Steve Jobs used to be the buffer between Apple engineers, Apple designers and the Mac users.

    So now we have a CEO that doesn't give a fuck about Macs and a person who designs Macs to be super-expensive technological art instead of useful computers.

    WHO THE FUCK ASKED FOR STILL THINNER LAPTOPS? NOBODY.
    Go back to the 2015 keyboards, you idiots.

    The MacBook Air hasn't been upgraded since march 2015*.

    * the small CPU speed bump on the low-end model in june 2017 does NOT count as an upgrade. The internal name is still "MacBookAir7,2".

    We need this running on a Raspberry Pi Zero, so I can have an independant DNS server internally that all our devices can connect to it (Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox, PCs/Macs, smartphones, tablets, etc).

    Cutting corners is low-cost. Make them rounded is a lot more expensive.

  18. A hypothetical "A12" or whatever would probably cost a lot less to Apple, allowing them to reduce the cost of their Macs by a few hundred dollars or so. That's good for both you and Apple.

    It would also, I assume, require less power than Intel's CPU giving you either a laptop that runs for more hours, or a smaller laptop that requires a smaller battery (again costing less for both you and Apple).

    If there is some kind of Rosetta 2.0 in place that can run most x86 applications at more or less the same speed (at least from the user's point of view) then it would be stupid for Apple to not switch to their own ARM CPUs.

  19. Re:the New Model curse strikes again on Apple To Refresh Mac mini, MacBook Pro, iMac Lineups Later This Year, Report Says (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    You still made a good move. The 2012 Mac mini is the last model with RAM slots so you probably saved a lot of money, on top of buying a used unit.

    "How much memory is right for you?
    This Mac mini comes standard with 4GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3 memory. Please note that the memory is built into the computer, so if you think you may need more memory in the future, it is important to upgrade at the time of purchase."

    The 16GB option adds USD$300 to the entry model and USD$200 to the mid-range and upper models, so add that to the cost of whatever 2014 model you would have bought.

  25. They're working on making their wallets, APIs and everything easy to connect and use, for Facebook, Twitter, etc. If they succeed in getting people on board, Reddcoin will essentially become the true "Internet money" used for micro-transactions.
