The reason upstreaming it is considered extremely good really doesn’t have to do with unit testing or really exactly with testing at all. The issue, as stated eloquently by the parent of your post, is that without it being upstreamed, it’s

Having an off switch on a life saving device like that sounds like a profoundly bad idea to me, so not sure why it would be brought up in this context. I personally would’ve used an example of something you might actually want to turn off,

Their 1.8m cable is $129, so still >2x the price of competitors. It’s an extremely well made cable, but overkill, probably?

And? Apple used to sell a way more expensive than that TB2 cable if high price is your point and besides, saying Apple charges a premium price for a premium product (like this) is about as insightful as saying the sky is blue.

I think GP is thinking of fiber optic Thunderbolt cables probably.

by jsjohnst 4y ago
It’s why I always buy TB3 (or now TB4) cables rather than a cheaper USB-C to USB-C. Due to the strict requirements on TB cables, you can pretty much guarantee it’ll support any use case (alt modes, PD, etc). Sometimes overspending is worth

Not GP, but because they aren’t marketed as servers and don’t have features you’d commonly expect in a server. Video and audio production heavily uses rack mount gear and so having a rack mounted version of a Mac Pro makes perfect sense.

How does it do 2x 5K60? The only true 5K monitors I know of are the LG 5k and the Apple Studio Display which are both TB or USB-C monitors, not DP. 5K60 takes ~25gb/sec, multiply times two and the single TB cable as input can’t handle

I’d be willing to say “there are things with known exploits, there are things which employ techniques that are known not to be safe making them less secure, and the rest is more akin to Schrödinger's cat as far as secureness goes.”

Just because it works on an Intel Mac does not mean the cable isn’t the issue! Happy to demonstrate in a live video along with oscilloscope readings to prove it is in fact the cable to blame.

Complexity is virtually zero. The most non-technical of person could set it up. Cost however is a valid point, but like OP I rationalize the cost.
