A comment on Amazon’s cloud Macs cost $25.99 a day. 77 days of usage would buy you your own.

Imagine how much the desire for Macs would collapse if they let people compile iOS / macOS apps on Linux.

The fact people tolerate or celebrate Apple's heavily restricted ecosystem is absurd. Apple is overly greedy and resting on their laurels.

Probably not much after the latest M1 release.

Hm. Looked up the M1 because all I had seen was "low power consumption, lots of battery life" which I took as "Facebook machine".

Looks cool. Apple might be turning the corner from "lol, here's the same phone from 2 years ago but now with three cameras, give me $1,100"
