what strikes me about your comment is how you consider it entitled to want control over one's own hardware. Like, I paid money and have this hardware in my hands, I wonder if I can somehow fill up this empty slot and get some extra space. Fuck me, though, right?
- Maursault 5y agoYes, that is entitlement to expect to be able to gain control of something that before 2 days ago no one outside Apple knew existed. For all we know it is for Apple's internal use only and can't be used otherwise without Apple's internal proprietary (perhaps diagnostic) equipment. Or maybe it is a fully functional ssd slot that's only purpose was redundancy to increase yields of functional Studios, and by design, only one or the other can be used at once. Or maybe you're absolutely free to use it, but you're going to have to figure out how to get it working yourself. It is entitlement to expect anyone else, including Apple, to make it work for you. Or maybe the slot works fine, but the ssd's won't play with any other ssd on an internal bus. No one really knows anything at all at this point, so it is entitlement to expect satisfaction when no one has any idea what the hell is happening.
- ecf 5y agoThere’s nothing stopping you from reverse engineering that slot and making it work in the same way Asahi Linux took on a much more challenging task by reverse engineering Apple’s GPU to run Linux.
