I love my bullshit green washing of hunks of metal produced by the millions too. Buying carbon credits from I-Promise-I-Will-Plant-Trees Inc. is still lying, Apple.

I'm pretty sure they reach out to the developers in advance if it's actually used directly (and not just in the background, like on the Dock or something). But I'll bet it's a real opportunity to gain new users, so it's probably more exciting than terrifying!
Developer of Apollo was completely surprised that they mentioned his app today[0] [0] https://old.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/141kfmi/wwdc_2023_ev...

#83Incoming: “Not going to upgrade, I’m fine with my 1996 toaster, thank you!” It’d be actually interesting to read from people who buy a top config and how they use it.

Are you off by one order of magnitude? Or does this cost as much as a couple quite nice cars.
I was looking at a six figure workstation last week, including GPUs. The goal is to replace 2-3 loud servers in my home lab with something more compact and quiet.

#85I’d been wondering how they were going to handle expandable memory with the M chip, since the integrated memory seemed pretty central to the design - seems like the answer is, “they’re not.” Be interested to see if PCI expansion is sufficient to satisfy the Max Pro market.

#87I wouldn't buy a $7000 computer without a discrete GPU.
I would consider that for many people in your position, the desire for a discrete GPU is a proxy for the real desire, which could be one of several things: - Performance, which apple's GPUs may compete sufficiently with - Upgradeability, which apple's GPUs may not compete sufficiently with If all you care about is the performance, does it really matter if that perf is achieved via a discrete or integrated GPU?

#88The best thing about this whole event is that they didn't mention AI even once, all they're saying is ML. Which is what it is. AI is a hype word.

Apple showed a lineup of compatible PCIe cards, with a variety of accelerators and I/O hardware but conspicuously no GPUs. https://i.imgur.com/28J1KfN.jpg The Apple Silicon transition ended support for external GPUs, so I think it's safe to assume they won't support internal ones either.
Man I'm so out of what's going on with desktop computing lol, feeling old Could somebody explain what these are?
