   Apple be like "here's a new iPad with the same guts as a MacBook except it's dogshit trash because we put zero I/O on it and only allow it to run a mutated phone OS so it's pretty much useless for anything outside of content consumption!"

     @m0xEE@breloma.m0xee.net This is true, but it just doesn't make a whole of sense to pack it with so much hardware that will never get actually utilized.

     Computing power has gone way through the roof nowadays, I don't think I ever use the computing power even of my midrange phone and I'm quite comfortable using 10 y.o. computers.
     And I think I'm not alone in this — that is precisely why they had to come up with this "AI" bullshit, to have a whole new point for selling people new hardware.
     On the bright side: it doesn't look like they have succeeded in this, more and more people grow comfortable with using older hardware or using the one they already have for longer, this means free software has higher chance of catching up and soon (but not too soon) we might have truly free and open software on quite capable and open hardware.
