Yes, because price and quality matters. I have luxury leather goods and they worth every penny because awesome quality and the rest of goods just junk.

Does not work with Mac, you pay a lot and a chance that you will be in a trouble with it is very high. Like with last MBP. Apple must spend more money for QA and offer better hardware. I will look on their new mac mini if it will be updated this or next year, probably it will be my last device from this company.

Apple business is one of the greatest bubbles.

Re:Apple Reports Record First Quarter Results on Wednesday February 01, 2017 @11:38AM (#13542196)
This is actually bad news because Apple will continue this weird strategy of pushing fancy crap for fortune.
Lack of personal space hell is to where realty bubble leads. Sigh.
BlackPhone is scam and snake-oil. Cloud "privacy" with remote control. Need privacy? Use burners.

Re:My Next Mac Mini on Saturday January 28, 2017 @09:45AM (#13506491)
Apple is a scam and nothing else.

It's more clear for me after my Mac Mini 2009 is no longer supported by Sierra without any constructive reason (you can install it with pair of crutches but no Wi-Fi). Actually Apple is selling fancy outdated hardware with pretty questionable "new features" like touchbar bullshit to excuse their ridiculous pricing model.

Awesome that more people abandoning it.

Postgresql too.

They are taking 20% during the most important period of distribution. That is worse than any kind of premine. All Zerocoin based coins had the same ridiculous rewards and all dead yet or barely breathing.
Re:The Zcash Anonymous Cryptocurrency [video] on Sunday January 08, 2017 @09:29PM (#13353527)
20%. There are tons of coins released recently before zcash on this broken tech.
Re:The Zcash Anonymous Cryptocurrency [video] on Sunday January 08, 2017 @09:28PM (#13353524)
Yes.
