Hold the presses! Apple might actually make affordable Macs to compete with Chromebooks and PCs. My cynical brain immediately wonders what "cheaper" means in Cupertino-speak. Will it come with half an apple logo? Will we have to pay extra for the "Pro" version of the charging cable? Share your wildest guesses!

Apple Is Planning Cheaper Macs That Compete With Budget Chromebooks and PCs, Report Says

Apple's most affordable M4 MacBook Air (pictured) currently starts at $999, making the rumored $599 MacBook Air significantly more affordable.

So the endless deluge of youtube videos about the latest fancy overpriced pc builds or high end gpus that only a faction of people can afford are super boring for me....can anyone recommend me some youtube channels that talk about cheaper systems, restoring old hardware, or making the best out of a small budget? I find the creativity in these sorts of videos and keeping stuff out of a landfill far more interesting than glorified advertisements for the RTX 9090 or Ryzen 9 42090x #youtube #budgetcomputing #sustainability #retrocomputing #upcycling

A bit of scouring and I found two places on the internet where you can host your docker container for free

1) Render
2) Azure (always free tier, but requires credit/debit card to start)
