In with a bang, out in silence – the end of the Mac Pro:

This is hardly surprising, considering that there’s very little in the way of compatible cards and the damned thing is eye-wateringly expensive. Still, kind of sad to see it go. #apple #macpro #technology https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/03/26/in-with-a-bang-out-in-silence----the-end-of-the-mac-pro

In with a bang, out in silence -- the end of the Mac Pro

For almost two decades, the Mac Pro bounced between coveted and beloved, to derided and forgotten. Now, it's finally over.

@tylerknowsnothing it really shows that Apple has no interest in being a serious extensible platform for users. The OS and the hardware will continue to be limited by only what they want it to do.

@crb True enough. I mean, I don’t need my Macs to do much, and they do it well, but I’d think that a company built almost entirely on serving creatives would lean more into actually serving them instead of dictating their choices. On the flipside, everything is turning into a plug-and-play affair now with USB-C as the backbone. It’d be really neat to see Framework-style expansion card slots for a new approach to modularity in smaller form factor PCs, though. Not that Apple would do that, of course. Then again, they did put ports on front of the Studio…
