@siracusa@mastodon.social Read about this and immediately came to Mastodon to see if you had posted.

@siracusa@mastodon.social the biggest disappointment about this is that Apple never did bother to solve their RAM ceiling problem in Apple Silicon Macs. I was hoping to see some clever solution that added slotted memory that had a direct connection to the rest of the SOC to be super fast and low latency. Hell, I would have settled for a version that was architected like the Intel Mac Pro with slotted RAM and higher capacity at the cost of latency. Instead Apple just didn't bother to try to solve it.

@siracusa@mastodon.social Somewhere in Apple Park is an unopened package an intern neglected to deliver. In it, a t-shirt that could have inspired and made all the difference. That said, they could backtrack today and announce an M5 Ultra mac pro with upgradable GPU and RAM and I would know 0 people that would buy one. I think it's an important product to have existed but market reality has spoken. As nice as it is, the negative ROI on that case design is probably second only to project titan.

@siracusa@mastodon.social Does this add insult to injury? I kinda wish this had been the first announcement for the sake of levity... https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/26/mac-pro-wheels-kit-discontinued/

@siracusa@mastodon.social Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Seriously, though, one of my most exciting Apple-related experiences was when UPS delivered my Graphite G4 Mac Pro and accompanying 15” LCD Studio Display back in ‘99. I felt like a kid again on Christmas morning.

@siracusa@mastodon.social I’m so sorry John for our loss 😔 This is not that surprising but really sad. I think Apple will be more of a portables company (ofc not entirely) because that’s where Apple Silicon and their strength shine. But really wished they kept innovating in the high-end desktop space.

@siracusa@mastodon.social Actual Mac Pro news aside, is it just my eyes or does seeing this photo on one’s phone and jiggling the device even a millimeter induce a parallax effect? An accidental optical illusion with Ternus appearing to move independently of the background like a “special scene.” I downloaded and inspected the image because at first I thought you’d posted a GIF that subtly jiggled, like 3 video frames looping.

@siracusa@mastodon.social so sad. You were the first person I thought of when I read the news. Gut feeling is something Mac Pro-like will be introduced in the future. This story has more chapters to be written.

@siracusa@mastodon.social It will cycle back around in 5 years along with the Pro Display XDR as “NEW innovation as only Apple can do with the reputation that the Mac Pro and Pro XDR that professionals always relied on” or something like that in the presentation.
