Gee, thanks a lot, asshole. Nice to see you have no regard for anyone but yourself.

LGTQIAWTFBBQ.

I'm already giving up on Apple. Between the utter failure that is the 2013+ Mac Pro, the lack of CUDA-enabled products, and the fact that the software I use is moving away from the platform I don't really have much choice. The only thing keeping me in as far as I am is my media library.

It took them four years to discover they screwed the pooch? Really? How much of their pro market share did they lose before they realized they stepped in dog crap with the 2013 model? I know I've left Apple behind.

Repeating a lie doesn't make it true.

AR with what? Phones? Maybe. Their desktops? Please. The GPUs in their desktops are garbage. Even the ones in the Mac Pros. I was a Mac user for ten years (sold my 2012 Mac Pro last month) and I I have always been disappointed by their choice of graphics chips.

My Vive doesn't give me motion sickness. My PlayStation VR is puke city in three minutes or less. :(

Reminds me of that guy who got sacked a while back for loading SETI at Home on a bunch of servers at his work.

Is it really that hard to remember that the computers at your employer's company are not yours?

Dear Apple,

How about making products your customers actually want? Like a MacBook Pro that's actually a pro-level computer. Or, a "Cheesegrater" Mac Pro with Thunderbolt and USB 3/3.1?

See, here's the deal: no one wanted the trash-can Mac Pro. We wanted the existing model with the I/O capabilities you put in your home-user machines. But, it's too late. You've lost us. We're tired of paying premium prices for last-years already outdated technology.

And you guys are really missing the bus with your lack of VR-compatible hardware. Sure, VR might be a flash in the pan, but isn't the fact that you make NOTHING with the CPU/GPU power to support it worrying?

Yours,
RatBastard, a former Mac customer.

I'd like a Mac Pro with Nvidia GPUs in them. Everything I use runs on CUDA and my 2012 Mac Pro is showing its age.

I do rendering on my 2012 12-Core Mac Pro. It would cost me almost three times what I paid for that to get a new 12-Core Mac Pro to replace it. Which, thanks to my software moving to CUDA, would make a new Mac Pro useless to me. Add to this the fact that no modern Mac supports CUDA due to Apple going with AMD GPUs, and that pool of software is growing ever smaller. I'm almost to the point of abandoning Macs altogether and getting a Windows multi-GPU workstation instead. For a hell of a lot less than a new Mac Pro.

Unless every vendor out there suddenly decides to support the trainwreck that is OpenCL, I've long ago purchased my last Mac.

Once the new version of CUDA is released and my rendering software will work with it. But none do right now.

Because his points on this issue are well thought out.

And none of those things have to do with evolution. You might want to spend some time figuring out what the hell you're arguing against in the first place.
