   It is scary how easy and willingly we just give up our privacy and data away. Truly the future is Brave New World, not 1984

   Personally, I think one of the greatest mistakes of capitalism is to make property an investment asset.

   I have strong overhead light so I haven't tested it in those conditions.

   So 5k2k or 8k?

   > I need 60 Hz and, probably, native 24p for the occassional film I don't want to watch on the big screen but other than that it's sharp text I care about. If you care about 24p then you need a display that can support 120hz

   Seems too specific for photography. I mean, it lacks 10-bit color and 120hz(for 24fps playback) that video editors want. And why wouldn't photographers want HDR?

   I have the same monitor. But I wouldn't advise it for color work(only 90% P3)

   Or one can use 2 4K monitors side-by-side and can arguably be more productive. It's even cheaper than buying the Studio Display.

   If am going to put my tin foil hat on, then I would think it's a deliberate action to keep us glued to our mobile devices.

    But would using TB4 solve the issue?

    Yup. The closest thing we can get is just 4k 144hz. But will have to sacrifice some clarity for fractional scaling in MacOS.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up "collaborating"

    There was a few months back. Now they seem to have more reasonable timetables. Custom build Mac Studio, on the other hand, takes 10-12 weeks.

    IMO, pre 2015 Apple is not the same as post 2015 Apple. My 2015 MBP is still running. But I wouldn't count on anything Apple releases today to last more than few years. Especially since they seem to gate features now that you will have

    Do you think it is because they need it? Or is it because hustle culture has become so normalized that people could not conceive of the alternatives?

    There is a difference from audiophiles. Unlike audio, people can objectively see and feel the difference when you use different keycaps, switches, etc.

    Any "musts" in Software Engineering that purport to be universal must be met with lots of skepticism.

    Some women do treat men as commodity in a market. Both men and women of this type spoil it for the rest of the people who are genuinely looking for connection.

    Whatever the cause is, angry young men that can't get any are probably the easiest to radicalize. I am also interested in how this will be solved since I don't think the status quo is sustainable.

    I am confused on the suggestion to become vegetarian. In economic hard times, one mist be picky and learn how to eat anything available.

    The Mac Studio + Display is a replacement for the discontinued iMac Pro, not the 27" iMac. Just look at the pricing on the combo.

    If RAM is your bottleneck, then you will still have the same problem. Apple still ships 8GB machines.

    No CPU, x86 or ARM, has broken through the 2K GeekBench benchmark. The CPU that could do that would be innovative.

    Does it even make sense to get the M1 Ultra? The M1 Max seems to be enough.
