I hope he does it. Musk is not the poster child for innovation he wants to and claims to be. Might as well keep all the stupids together.

I'm not OP, but I can share what I found myself doing these kits. Angles on manipulated pieces are extremely important. You really need good leverage with some pliers that also have very, very small ends.
Now hiring for an Engineer². Don't apply if you dont have 20+ years experience with LLMs
I think the argument is if you’re going to be running balls to the walls all the time, you’d want a pro
I don't disagree with this, but the Pro systems also appear to throttle commonly under load. The below concerns throttling due to GPU load, so not about Apple Silicon, but I think the point of chassis design issues or generally the system being unbalanced still applies:
Both the 16-inch and 14-inch MBP M3 Max show compelling evidence of thermal throttling—reduced performance as things get hot and the fan cannot adequately cool the GPU. Specifically, the (faster) 16-inch M3 Max takes 78% longer than my M2 Ultra Mac Pro, but it ought to take no more than 50% longer. Seemingly (pure speculation), Apple has gamed the system with its benchmarks, which make no mention whatsoever of test duration, ambient temperature, etc.
This reads like a crazy person manifesto
Which specific community on Lemmy did you comment in?
It's so strange. I was under the impression that one reason for Apple's push towards its own silicon was that Intel CPUs run hot and thermal throttling contributed to significant performance losses on Macbook.
At this point, if they're getting similar throttling with their own silicon, why are they not redesigning these chassis? After all, the unibody has been a thing for many years. One could even argue it's a bit dated.
I'd even suggest unplugging the Linux drive entirely. Let Windows install as if it is on the only drive. When complete, plug everything back in and set up your boot order accordingly. Manually add the Windows drive to your Linux bootloader.
Some in the gaming industry are foaming at the mouth with excitement that everything can be a subscription. They want you to stream games and not be using your own hardware to play them, because then they control more of the chain. It's the next logical step since everyone seemed happy not having physical media.
The crypto involved can be furnished such that nothing but the issuing authority and the fact "18+" gets transmitted, no name, no id number, no nothing.
This is a best-case-scenario implementation. I just think it is extremely likely that any approach actually implemented would not have the privacy of the user in mind.
Meh.
It's not designed for or good for VR gaming. As an AR device, I find it a bit silly since I can just look at a real screen. It would be a novelty at $100, but at the price Apple wants I kind of think of it like a joke.
