When I was in early college, before I could afford things like up-to-date computers, my dream was to use an xserve as my desktop machine

one of my coworkers did this with a surplus Intel Xserve.

Its the only Apple product ever where they didn’t care about acoustics because goddamn those things were loud.

they should bring back the xserve or similar

otherwise your ios build farms have to run on rackmounted macs pro and that is just ridiculous



Talking to my friend who is a PM over at a very large digital media division, MacStadium (aka the guys who will rackmount your Mac Mini in a DC) makes most of their money running iOS build servers, and of that a good chunk is for companies who outsource their iOS app development. It's a combination of 'cut-rate dev shops in India wont give their coders Macs' and 'yeah we own this binary so we gotta compile it on a company-controlled box'.
