The only platform not yet supported is the Mac Pro, although there probably isn’t much left to do. No, not the “MacBook Pro”, but the “Mac Pro” – the one that looks like a cheese grater and costs thrice as much.

I've always wondered what sort of look they were going for.

The Mac Pro only costs three times as much as a cheese grater???

Apparently they make it up on the wheels. Apple is a strange company.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the wheels and stuff are just for marketing at this point.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, what wheels?

I just looked at the product page and every single image makes me dislike this product more than the last. The goddamn thing probably weighs 10 pounds and comes with fucking wheels.

Edit: Apparently it weighs 37 pounds. I don't know how they crammed that much bullshit into a 18 by 9 by 20 box, but they did and then they slapped wheels on it. The wheels are probably considered a two thousand dollar "value" by Apple, though.

bullshit doesn't end here. There's a $1k monitor stand, that needs a $200 extension to be vesa compatible, and is no better then some free stands that u get with (dare I say) normal monitors.

[–] rwhitisissle@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Surely you mean it comes with a 1000 dollar monitor, not...just the monitor stand?

Gotta respect a quality use of the word “thrice”

[–] GrievingWidow420@feddit.it 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ignoring its existence is spitting in the mouth of pragmatism, and not in a good way

[–] renzev@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What comes after thrice? Quadrice? Tetrice?

[–] GrievingWidow420@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago

Whatever you want, man, that's the trick

When did they give up on the trash can? I miss the trash can. It was easier to call it overpriced garbage when it looked like an actual garbage receptical.
