I apologize for sounding like a troll. I'm not. I was genuinely looking for more info on the new MB. Specifics like benchmarks, video resolutions supported, usb-c mode support. I listened to about half the podcast, didn't hear anything that wasn't part of the announcement headlines. The comments about the mac mini, and the mis information about it's last update, 1 year ago, made me realize I was wasting my time listening. If AI, one of the best Apple news sites around are going to to do a podcast you need to dig a little deeper.
Actually, guys, China *does* have computer doctors who make house calls to install RAM modules, upgrade software, etc. Costs around ¥100 (US$15). Cannot say whether they use a scooter or the subway, but after-hours appointments suggests they do this as a second job.
