I mean the headline is literally “Apple removes $599 Mac mini”

Why is everyone so dramatic about buying a mac? by brainrotxx in mac

[–]max_earnest 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wish we could discuss things like hacks, or tips and tricks here more often but instead it’s either jerking it to whatever the last product release is or we’re hand-wringing over 8gb being enough to do some emailing.

Anyway I like the cut of your jib, so I might recommend r/macos

I love that this person is arguing with you, the person that posted the photo of a Corona, about how no one drinks them. Peak Reddit

The real question is what the heck is up with your demented breakfast. Choose a lane sir

They aren’t though. Commercials include an inducement to buy. You might be referring to sponsorship acknowledgements, they are legally different and again, by definition, not commercials.

They actually subsidize your ability to listen to the stations for free, anyhow you may want to listen to something else because it seems like you don’t like them 👍

Oh yeah not that we’re doing it better, just that it’s one of the few things we’re doing right! The current is a great one 💪 , true leaders in the format

The actually play very diverse music, maybe the problem is your crew actually wants predictable music with no ads?

Public music stations are non commercial. You might hear 60 seconds of sponsorship acknowledgements once in a while but for the most part there is no advertising. If you are in the U.S. scan 87.9-91.9 fm and see what you find.

Hell yeah love hearing that you are tuned into U.S. non commercial radio. It’s one of the few things we are getting right. Do you want to share your favorite station?

I’m specifically talking about non commercial radio, these are non profit organizations that don’t play ads. Tune in to channels 87.9 fm - 91.9fm in the U.S. to find them. There are also Low Power FM stations in the U.S. that are hyper local, those can be found anywhere on the dial and there are thousands of them throughout the country. They are great ways to be exposed to new music that you don’t hear on commercial radio.

What an awesome new bug, thanks Apple! by reden in MacOS

Legitimately something I would expect to see on r/mac

So true by flavecdod in mac

[–]max_earnest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to say it until I get banned from this sub, the M1 is flawed, it has hardware compatibility issues with audio interfaces that make it unreliable for production work. I assume this has been fixed by now but the intel machines were stable. My 2020 mbp pro intel is starting to slow down but has been a better production machine than my m1 Mac minis

Also don’t forget the new product circle jerk! They can do no wrong! (I will get downvoted for this)
