alt Hacker News> "people often want a system that's under their control, isolated from their primary machine, and capable of running 24 hours a day, seven days a week," said Brooks. "A Mac mini is an amazing system for that," he added.
These execs are so out of touch they believe Apple hardware to be "a system that's under their control", how does it come to this? Besides, a VM without bi-directional sharing of data gives you pretty much the exact same thing.
Did hundreds/thousands of developers really go out there and bought Mac Minis just because one prominent technology semi-celebrity happens to have used a Mac Mini for the development of their thing? Seems bananas people would spend hundreds on monies on something they barely grasp how it works.

I think tech people spend hundreds on tech because it’s fun.
The remote access story for macOS is absolute sadness, without Jump Desktop there would be zero performant ways to access that “system under my control”.
And all of that because Tim Apple fears any feature that could mean people could have less than one iDevice per person.
