Quoted from the http://tidbits.com/article/17633: "If you're running macOS 10.12 Sierra or earlier, and do not want to upgrade to 10.13 High Sierra right now, be careful because Apple has started pushing High Sierra to older Macs and making it all too easy to upgrade inadvertently." [...]

I've been buying the 2015s because a) I'm not paying an extra grand for what amounts to gimmicks, and b) the whole USB-C marketplace is just too unstable and I'm still not convinced that USB-C won't end up being a giant shitshow.
When Jobs still lived, he liked minimalism but (for the most part) within reason. Under Cook, Apple has gone minimalist to the point of absurdity, presumably to maximize their accessories revenue.
Can you believe that their USB-C power supplies don't even come with a cable? You have to buy the bloody USB-C cable *separately*! It's petty to the point of nonsensical.

I can and do believe it. They have certainly become a company that seems to want to nickel and dime their customers to death. Except their nickel and dime are $50 and $100. I estimated I would need about $300 worth of adapter dongles to replicate the ports I currently use, on top of the hundreds of dollars price increase for the new MBP. They've really lost their damn minds at Apple.

... Peace out. Got bear stuff to do. 彡ʕ⌐■.■ʔ
