@RoyAMendez They're cool machines. I am... confused as to how you're supposed to buy them though.
@mrled
@spoonfreude Probably 3x nuc11tnhi30l for a cluster, although I'm just in the research phase right now. Really I want to see some sort of configurator that would let me start cheap, and see if I can afford nice-to-have options like multiple Ethernet ports.
@spoonfreude
@mrled What SKU are you trying to buy?
@RoyAMendez
@mrled My father has his office kitted out with a ton of these mounted to the back of monitors.
@mrled
This is the only thing.
A computer is a device that users have their OWN opinions on how to use. A device that doesn’t allow this is something else. Simple as.
(Imo much of the consternation about the Mac is whether it will fail this test in the near future.) https://t.co/yvZNyCAvah

Browsers that de-emphasize "URL gibberish" are browsers for people who don't need to actually DO anything on the web.

So far, the best place to buy them seems to be fucking ebay

@viticci
The biggest lesson I learned? macOS lets you have an opinion on how to use your computer. iPadOS still doesn't.
I hope that changes with iPadOS 16.
I still think the iPad is Apple's best form factor to date. But 'pro' users on iPad deserve more.
@viticci
For the past 6 months, I've been living a double life.
As an experiment, I – the iPad guy – used the MacBook Pro as my main computer. I...loved it. Here is my story on how it went.

Sure, de-emphasizing the URL is taking away a key point of user agency. But a usable URL field doesn’t look as clean in Figma. WONTFIX

I sort of expected this terrible situation to eventually get remedied by someone maintaining a comprehensive page that lets you sort by feature with sponsored links to buy. But no one has done this! (Someone please prove me wrong.)
Where is the https://t.co/yBUbHcvOfa of NUCs?
@mrled
Is the NUC a product that actually exists, or is it like some kind of money laundering scheme or something. Search, click first non-ad, it is called "buy", the page says "buy". There are no buy links on the page. They don't even link to more product info. https://t.co/RNgaeb1fHi https://t.co/HfH5Kbib90

Searching for them on Amazon is insane because searching for anything on Amazon is insane. "You searched for a specific model number, would you like to see a different model number?" kys
