Some good options here. I’m a fan of TrueNAS from iX Systems. Very easy to build your own but I’ll admit my last box I just bought their mini and put in my own disks.
I’d avoid QNAP although they’ll do the job.
This is a bit bogus. I just retired a 2012 iMac because I needed a new version of macOS to match my other devices. The only thing I ever did to the iMac was replace the original fusion driver with a SATA SSD (Samsung). It ran faster - boot times well under 10 seconds from the Apple chime.
Replace the HDD with an SSD . Update it to the latest macOS that hardware supports and it will be fine for web, email, basic office duty stuff, if you are sticking to Apple. I could also Bootcamp and run four instances of EVE Online with no issues.
There are a bunch of other things you can do with it outside of macOS but it really is getting up there in age.
Almost zero benefit. I finally started to just use the Apple Upgrade Program and effectively look at the phone as a rental. We get a credit from work to use a device as BYOD so it ultimately is nice to simply have a new phone all the time.
Eight lenses? I’m in.
While I sometimes get annoyed with Apple and the App Store policies, I also view this as a differentiator. It’s arguably more secure. It’s a trade off I can live with.
It will be interesting to see how Apple plays out the third party store.
This is not going to be popular but Apple’s walled garden is why I am a customer. The fact that they don’t carry decades of baggage into to their ecosystem is a benefit. Did I hate that I had to leave a perfectly fine 2012 iMac because no more updates and missing features? Sure, but I got a decade out of one computer.
They control the hardware and software in a tightly integrated manner that works great. People who complain about this not being open… you’ve got other options. To me, it’s a product differentiator.
Before someone says I’m not capable of using a “real” OS, I ended up here in 2007 due to OSX with its *nix backend. I started time sharing on a VAX8800, built a career on Sun stuff, jumped to Linux in 1994 doing development (submitted driver updates, FAQs and more). I’ve never looked back and I’m certain I am as efficient and productive as I can be. I use Linux and Windows as well but for different things.
But the underlying technology has not changed much, if at all. The Tesla battery is nothing more than what is a bunch of Li-Ion battery cells wired together.
I’m not going to argue anything on that clip but it did make me laugh. People can be very clever.
Same.
