One thing that makes my shit itch is Apple saying their new M4 Mac mini's are "The first carbon-neutral Mac."
But also, they're designed to be as un-repairable and throw-away as possible (no replaceable RAM, no replacement parts into the general market, delicate disassembly etc)
So is it really green? Carbon neutral doesn't count for shit if it's also so easily becoming e-waste and needing to be replaced with an entire new device which is literally 2x the e-waste within a shorter period of time
