Mark Hofmann@marcoarment @siracusa Sorry for your loss John!
John
Edward Munn@marcoarment @siracusa Not even a press release or a footnote in a Mac Studio newsroom article. What a sad end to an iconic machine.
Warner Crocker
Patrick Toomey@marcoarment @siracusa I’d wager it’s maybe closer to relief at this point.
Ryan Jones@marcoarment @siracusa he waited a decade and then spend $15k on a paperweight after 2 years of use. :(
John Siracusa@rjj I’m still using it! (And, thankfully, it was far less than $15K.)
Bill Graefe
Matt Godden
tambourineman@marcoarment @siracusa why go through all the trouble of creating this case and never properly update it. So sad
@marcoarment @siracusa trash can, can't innovate Schiller's ass, calling a press event, saying they're sorry, painted themselves into a thermal corner, this time it will be different. Sorry, not sorry. Actually, we're out.
Seems like Apple has a toxic relation with the Mac Pro. And so do we, by extension.
TheEJJ 🇨🇦@tambourineman @marcoarment @siracusa ironically the trash can design would lend itself incredibly well to an Apple Silicon machine.
Andrew@TheEjj @tambourineman @marcoarment @siracusa That's a great point. I guess the mac studio is more of a spiritual successor to the trash can. Guess they didn't even need that much thermal dissipation.
Tim Chaten@marcoarment @siracusa A day too late for ATP funeral to be held this week :(

Casey Liss@bbech @ismh86 @marcoarment @siracusa Never. Again.

@siracusa @marcoarment sorry for your loss, John. At least you have some closure.
Marina Epelman@marcoarment @siracusa The WWDC ATP shirt is gonna be lit this year.
Thom Bullock
Alpacheez@myNameIsT @marcoarment @siracusa I regret I will not be able to go to the #macintosh IRC channel on the ArsTechnica server and bask in the glow of nerds being excited about "ZOMG NEW TOWARZ!" It was like a pilgrimage on new desktop Mac tower day
Best Wishes, TheJesusFish@marcoarment @siracusa listen, I know “they don’t plan around us” and all that….but they announced this on the day after you guys record, meaning you have to wait a full 6 days before you can talk about it.
Drew Pickard
Jason@marcoarment @siracusa Next tier list member special: discontinued Apple products
@marcoarment @siracusa The Mac Pro dies twice: first, when Apple discontinues it, second, when its name is spoken by John for the last time.
@dipierro @marcoarment @siracusa But it will never die, as long as we can listen to the podcasts that John is on, we can hear "Mac Pro" any time on and on and don, until the bits that comprise the podcasts rot, or die, or wghatever it is that happens when data goes bad.
Jeff C. 🇺🇦🇬🇱@dipierro @marcoarment Optimistic of you to think that @siracusa is ever going to stop talking about this.

FossilizedCarlos@dipierro @marcoarment @siracusa new shirt idea, like believe, but remember me with día de los muertos (coco) styling 😭💀
Sebastian Arcq
Stephen Collins
Rob@marcoarment @siracusa Who needs “expandability” in tech anymore? 😕
Joshua Byrd@marcoarment @siracusa they can finally buy a real computer 😉
RudyJR13@marcoarment @siracusa Hurts but now he can get a Mac Studio which is still more than enough computer for him
Aaron@marcoarment @siracusa we should all chip in and get him some Mac Pro wheels (ah darn, they're sold out): https://computers.woot.com/offers/apple-mac-pro-wheels-kit
Ryan Poolos@marcoarment @siracusa I mourn with you. Let’s hope Apple returns to the high end this decade.
Chris Hawver
Mariano@marcoarment here is hoping that @siracusa jumps on the Linux PC gaming bandwagon. That would be a journey I would love to hear.
Dustin Swarm@marcoarment @siracusa thoughts and prayers.
@marcoarment @siracusa Wait, this is an honest suggestion: Emergency pod but also this months member special?
Joel LeBlanc@marcoarment @siracusa <with sound>
Graeme K@marcoarment @siracusa Gonna stick my M4 Pro Mac mini in my PowerMac G4 case and call it a Mac Pro.
…except I don’t want to take up that much desk space anymore. 🤐
Josh Justice@marcoarment @siracusa fingers crossed you begin modding Mac mini/studio internals into Pro chasses

@marcoarment @siracusa Do you believe in life after love?
@marcoarment @siracusa Wow! Feels like the end of an era. I never had one, could never justify it, but ...and of course the article, which I jsut read, says it's the end of an era...I assumed they would always be there. next thingyou know, they will get rid of Mac Minis which would mmake me super sad, because I don't have to use a monitor with one of those.
@marcoarment @siracusa OK so the Mac Min is not going away. Yet.
Tor Iver Wilhelmsen@marcoarment @siracusa Wasn’t that like the one model they assembled in the US?
Joseph Simpson
hooliews@marcoarment this is a diamond dogs situation
Jack Wellborn@marcoarment @siracusa Here's my prediction for John's stages of grief:
(Immediately) ”It's just a shame Apple couldn't make it work…”
(After a few days) ”Well if Apple had a Mac Pro...”
(After a few weeks) “Unsurprisingly, I have purchased the new and highest specced Mac Studio.”
(After a few months) ”It's no Mac Pro, but this Mac Studio pulls its weight.”
(After a few years) "Casey, I've always appreciated *small* desktop Macs going back to the original, and let's not forget the SE…"
Anton Leuski@marcoarment @siracusa it’s not really dead while someone still remembers it.
