The great thing about computers is that there are plenty of options to choose from. Apple hasn’t supported removable memory in iPhones since day one. If consumers really cared, android OEMs would have continued supporting it and grown market share. But the market has spoken. Most people don’t care (and one should note that android doesn’t officially support removable memory anyway).

The same follows here. If the Mac Pro isn’t a good value for the intended audience, that audience will leave the building.

You are as stupid as the other guy I responded to, "live like a dog" is a figure of speech about the way you live, not about the TV.

Also, I don't have a problem with them making billions, as long as it's properly taxed and they are held accountable about the amount of pollution they do. Want to cry about billionaires, business owners making more than the guy that washes dishes, etc, go to r/antiwork .

Unfortunately, you probably can't buy it to own it... It probably comes with a subscription plan to unlock the guided weed killing lasers, and a separate subscription if you want it's wheels to turn... Throw in another subscription if you want it to ignore your pets/children when targeting with lasers.

It's subscriptions all the way down.

Agreed. That’s a lot of time towing. Needs a self driving version then clearing the field in 30-40 hrs autonomously is not a big deal

Can they adopt this for kelp farming and use sharks with frickin’ laser beams on their heads?

For context, a typical 40 acre field under herbicide control experiencing minimal yield loss has just under 2 million weeds. Without herbicides, you would be looking at more around the 6M-8M range. Cutting the time in half is pretty awesome, but still has a ways to go. (And there is the whole question of which growth stages this can be used during.)
