My brand-new-in-2014 Mac Mini is the second worst computer I've ever owned. Expensive, slow, unreliable... the hard drive took a shit six months ago and despite the fact that I got spinning platters to make it easier to swap out, Apple is now writing proprietary firmware onto their hard disks. Yeah - you can't swap out the hard drive if you want to. Because they won't sell you one of their magical bullshit firmware hard drives unless you send the piece of shit into service. Sure - you can boot off of Thunderbolt, and a good thing, too, but serously, fuck you, Apple.

Next up: a proprietary fucking file system.
