I own Apple stock and an M4 Mini. Happy to see upgrade options.

"People" = literally one guy who has the tools and skills to disassemble an SSD board. Sure, it does leave the door open to third parties doing this as a service. Kinda jumping the gun on this though.

From the article this has lead a group to reverse engineer the proprietary board and start a Kickstarter to make it more accessible, which is pretty exciting (hopefully Apple doesn’t find a way to kill it)

Looking forward to a Mac mini version.

Are you stunned, shocked, or blasted?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I don't know what this is supposed to mean. I'm making a correction to the claim that more than one person is doing this and saying it's possible other companies could start manufacturing these parts.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I'm stunned that they slammed Apple like this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Lol I love that someone downvoted us. We are joking about the same exact symptom the top comment is referring to: ridiculous article premises and silly titles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Meh, I don't care how the votes turn out. I don't post for upvotes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Sorry, guys - I had to. 😁

Apple is literally like that landlord who’s stingy about turning the heating on… but with storage

[–] [email protected] 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

They know people will massively overpay for storage. Their entire company history has been severely overcharging for memory and storage space.

It's why I bought Apple stocks long before I bought any Apple products. I had faith in Apple consumers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

And memory.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Yes, that too!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago

Good! Much as I begrudge apple as a company, I'm glad users are still finding ways to upgrade and maintain the tech they use

This was a great article and the linked video was even better.
