Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Then stop buying it.
Wish I could. I hate working on Macs, but it seems like half of my mission-critical programs at work are Mac exclusive for some reason. Apple really pushed the “we’re built for art and artists” thing, so there are a lot of programs in the fine arts world that are Mac exclusive. Digital art, music, live entertainment, etc are all wholly dependent on Macs, purely because the programs needed to make those things are Mac exclusive.
Wait what? I've been using windows exclusively for art and music. Not specifically for live music and nothing stops me from that. What are these exclusive Mac apps that can't be replaced with something else?
They've put a lot of work into locking people into an ecosystem. To pick one example, if you've got a Logic project you want someone to be able to edit, even if you manage to migrate it with all of the required stuff, they're still going to need a Mac to open it.
