You can buy two Mac minis with 16GB/256GB each for the price it costs to upgrade a single one to 32GB/512GB.

Wow. This just blew my mind. You meant to jest but I'm serious.

Buy two, connect them together with Thunderbolt networking.

And then connect one of them to my M1 with Thunderbolt.

Boom, eight extra P cores with 20% IPC uplift for ~110K.

Automator could divide out the files over two machines.

Syncthing could consolidate the output into a single folder.

I mean, I could even just use regular ethernet since they're only JPGs.

Not as flashy as a custom 9950X compute box, but wow.

And it's scalable! ahah

That's why the power button is on the bottom. What if someone turns off one in your server farm?

Apple has truly thought of everything. The ghost of Steve "Apple Incorporated" Jobs still guides us all in these troubling times. God bless Apple, god bless aluminium, sorry, "Aluminum". God bless Bharat.
 
Bashing apple here or praising it here won't do anything. Don't follow brand, see if a machine is best for your usecase if yes, either apple or not, get it.
If not, get some other machine.

Companies are not here for customer's betterment at the detriment of their profit margin. They are here to make profits and we can only pray that profit making approach aligns with beneficial to customers approach.
