[@timothyjholloway]

I might skip the ads, but I appreciate that they aren't painful to watch and full of deception. Linus seems to just show some honest appreciation for his sponsors, and they deserve that. If advertisers were more down to earth and not so full of glitzy bullshit, I might not find it disgustingly jarring like so much cheap-tasting cotton candy shoved in my face... or vape smoke of that flavour blown in my face. I'm here to watch content, not be assaulted with your bullshit.

As a mobile app developer, I need to have mac hardware to build iOS apps. I have a custom built 8700k desktop, but needed a mac for building iOS apps. So I grabbed the new i5 mac mini. Works extremely well for my use case without having to buy a 2k+ macbook pro. I only use it really as a server, so I don't really care too much about the gpu piece of it. I just want it decently fast to compile code, and it does that well! We have a couple 2012 i5 dual core mac mini's at work we use for servers, and this new one is ridiculously better.

[@josh429]

I'm still using the late 2012 mac mini with my own ssd, works perfect for iOS and Web Dev. I'll be upgrading to the new one shortly, they're great for developers.

[@matheuseduardo7291]

Finally a developer's opinion around here :D. I'm looking forward to buy one for the same reason, and even that a Macbook Pro Retina Display is awesome to use, a more powerful hardware with a "bunch of savings" in exchange for the lack of a gourmet screen IS the big deal for developers. Buying Mac Mini, a good mid-entry monitor, and ergonomic pheripherials, can worth it for an office enviroment without spending almost the same on a worse macbook pro and having those thermal issues in exchange for a "awesome user experience".

When comparing the the MAC to a similarly priced PC, did you include the added cost of the 32GB ram upgrade over the base 8GB that initially came with the system?

It's probably balanced out by the fact that a licence for Windows 10 is never included in the cost of building a Windows PC. I'm doing the costing right now and that 30% "Apple Tax" that everyone scoffs at, quickly gets chipped away when I have to add a full Windows 10 licence and an anti-virus subscription to the build.

Storage is not held hostage by the t2 chip itself, is held hostage by the fact that is soldered into the motherboard.

[@bohdan7630]

@@mahiru20ten who cares about users? more upgradability means more compatibility issues, less user controllability and less income. besides its a lot easier for the company just to swap out the whole motherboard rather then searching for the problem and replacing only the broken part.

[@IpelengMotsatsi]

I thinks its held hostage because the T2 chip encrypts automatically on the fly, So if you can't access your T2 chip your data will be gone unless you have backed up.

[@omi6816]

@@IpelengMotsatsi There is no way to access the data on that mac if the machine is not booted up and the usb or ethernet are working, if the machine breaks for some reason your data is gone, even if the t2 wasn't there, the nand chips and controller are directly soldered on the motherboard, de-soldering nand chips might be possible but it also corrupts the memory (and would require using the nand's manufacturer flash program to be run on it to even work again, which would completely destroy the data, this just assumes that you also managed to move the controller, and were able to relocate all the nand chips, sometimes you even require to run a separate flash process outside the machine with a special piece of hardware). So yes, if you overcome the hardest part that is to de-solder nand and reflash it, and re-solder it into a mac without ruining everything, then the t2 might be an issue, but i don't see a point in calling t2 an issue when there are ssd soldered macs without t2 with no motherboard port to recover the info and well the info is gone.

@@mahiru20ten apple is a high volume customer, they get that sort of stuff for dirty cheap, in their eyes, they are hindering the chances of refurbishers "stealing potential market on the long run" as well as reducing a ton of variables and controlling repair, so in their eyes, is totally worth it. Also the difference on the rates would mean that paying an us worker to fix a machine locally would be more expensive on the long run than actually doing this sort of crap.
