Why is everyone obsessed with Mac Minis. They're awesome but for the work that these people are attempting to do? Just seems... nonsensical. Renting a server is cheaper and still just as "local" as any of this (they want "self hosted", I don't think anyone cares about local. Like are people air gapping networks? lol)
And a senior director of Nvidia? He had several Mac Minis? I really gotta imagine a Spark is better... at least it'll be a bit smarter of a cat (I'm pretty suspicious he used a LLM to help write that post)
No time to think, gotta go fast?
They want access to Apple Messages. That's all there's to it AFAICT.
It seems like the monkey-ladders story. Someone probably just had one sitting around and it worked or needed to do something Apple-specific and that message got lost along the way
