That's their Dec 2021 valuation right? That was a valuation bubble. See the 30-80% fall of most companies since then.

I don't really agree. This is a desktop machine so it will be staying put. It has thunderbolt 4 which can exceed 3GB/s (24Gbps) on external SSDs. Don't think that expansion is useless

Learning to create motivation is the ultimate hack for insufficient executive function. People tend to think of motivation as some innate property of your person. But it's actually an emotional response to inputs.
