A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There's likely a maintenance cost continuously being paid that Apple wants to get away from.

If the maintenance cost is measured in US Dollars, I think Apple has that part covered.

Be that as it may, businesses will generally move towards things that cost less dollars on balance
