If you have a problem with Apple hardware, don't buy it. Simple as.

They do this because they know people will buy it. If less people bought it, they would stop doing it.

11GB idling?? Maybe not as optimized as it seems…

Yeah, not gonna happen. The only real reason Mac Pros had ECC was because it was standard with Xenon. ATPs latest episode goes over why we’ll probably never see ECC on the M series Macs and why it’s not actually as useful anymore (lookup linked ECC).

I have the base M1 MacBook Pro, but I'm seriously considering eventually switching to a framework laptop with Linux if I ever get the chance. I love the processor and OS on this thing, but it feels like I'm hitting a wall with doing some of the more advanced stuff I want to do.
