Re:Apple’s M1 Positioning Mocks the Entire x86 Business Model

I have a near death grip on my late 2012 Mac mini i7 (upgraded to 16GB and 2 1TB ssds) It has stood the test of time and to me is an engineering marvel.
Aside from gaming it can last another 10 years.
For longevity, I keep it on its side and replaced the bottom lid with an aluminum mesh lid. This has made it near silent for 80% of my tasks (programmer centric). I also regularly clean out the fan.

Web-scraping can do harm to a business if the scraper does not implement things like timeouts or sleeps between processes.
Websites and businesses do not factor bandwidth for the rogue scraper.

The peak of the mac mini was the 2012 Mac Mini Server where you could add an extra HDD and had easy access to the memory. That was the Apple I respected.
I'm not sure I understand why the current Mac Mini's needed to be a unibody design, since it just sits on your desk.
While I am excited for the M1 chip and the future of ARM, I'm absolutely disgusted by the price gouging in the name of memory and HDD space.
