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)

Are you stunned, shocked, or blasted?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'm stunned that they slammed Apple like this.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 7 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.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

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

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

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 12 points 9 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.

Yes, that too!

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

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
