Apple has still to release certain higher-storage and graphics options, but on pre-order day, the maximum specification 2019 Mac Pro you can buy costs $52,748. Without the screen, or the separate stands for that display. But you can get cash back if you buy with Apple Card. Because I know many of you were waiting to order (I'm sure it's totally worth it though.)
OK, maybe just @chris-maunder.
$400 wheels, $1K if you want the monitor stand (and $5-6K for that). Uffda, as they say.

That doesn't count the as yet un-priced 8tb hard drive option. I think we can safely categorize this hardware as "costs too f*ckin much".
28 cores, 1.5TB of RAM, and 8TB of hard drives, with two monitors = ~$65k - for a computer that will be obsolete before it's three months old.
Thanks, but I'll be more than satisfied with my 6-core, 32gb, 3TB PC that runs Linux...

"Pro" is, at least, the right name for something so overpriced.

I recently hit some multi-minute delays on my workstation. After investigating I found that the problem was due to a lock being held for five minutes, and during that time the lock-holder was mostly just spinning in a nine-instruction loop. Because I enjoy a nice detective story every now and again

The words "in", "setting", and "rot" keep spinning around in my brain, as if they're trying to line up and tell me something.

A computer chip processes and stores information using two different devices. If engineers could combine these devices into one or put them next to each other, then there would be more space on a chip, making it faster and more powerful. They also got chocolate in their peanut butter

Based on the realisation that anyone who says that transistors process information doesn't have a bloody clue what he's talking about, I'm giving this one a miss.

The recent firing of a Google employee demonstrates how you relinquish your privacy—and private data, including personal photos—when you put work accounts on your personal device. Mi teléfono, su teléfono

That almost certainly would be illegal in the UK. In fact I believe we even have privacy for personal emails sent through work systems. Any country that makes it legal for your work to wipe your personal phone unless you have given explicit informed consent has seriously flawed laws.

This is not so difficult to understand when you consider the point of view "companies are more important than people"
Anything I would write beyond this point, would require the soapbox back, so I will spare my additional comments

Glad that I read this, and I feel much better now being a jerk and making my employers utilize their own resources instead of me providing my phone.
My career employer uses Active Directory and Office 365. They wanted me to install MS app for Multi-Factor-Authentication. They didn't want to pay my phone bill though, or provide a phone for me to use.
As a result of this, the AD team had to correct everyone's accounts so that MFA could use people's desk phones. A problem happened when the marketing team got a hold of the IVR (automated operator) system and changed the direct dial number. Oops
Now my part time employer (I works 1 day monthly) wants me to put in their ADP payroll app AND some "Hot Schedules" app. That ain't happening either.
I have read the "permissions" for both MS & ADP and they both want my pictures, contacts, location... And the "schedule" app wants blutooth.

+1 BYOD is a minefield just waiting for either the company or the user to make the wrong step. If companies want to force employees to use their phones for work, they should be paying for them (and likely buying them as well, so they can support them).

Avast, the multibillion-dollar Czech security company, doesn’t just make money from protecting its 400 million users’ information. It also profits in part because of sales of users’ Web browsing habits and has been doing so since at least 2013. Ye scurvy dogs!
