Given Apple’s current locked-down trajectory with the Mac, the Mac Pro was gonna die eventually, and it’s for the best that it does given it was reduced to little more than a massively overpriced Mac Studio grafted onto a useless PCIe backplane; a $12k grift, basically.

PCs at least are still modular and expandable; for now.

    I would agree as a customer, but as a shareholder?

    Apple has been increasing user hostility, investing in questionable hype stock market hardware/software, pumping services profits, padding their war chest, and pushing prices to their absolute limit, literally to favour their shareholders. For a long time.

    All the rich at Apple are shareholders first, users second. That’s the conflict of interest.
