Wow, didn't expect to see you on HN. A friend of mine and I have been watching your Youtube vids for a while now. They're wonderful (and I'm also a bit jealous of the J30 camper on your Rubicon). I myself took this past sum

To echo the others, I had a similar problem though I was on a 2011 MBP. Didn't want the new MBP so I bought the most pimped out 2015 model you could get, the one with the 2.8Ghz i7 CPU, AMD GPU and 1TB SSD. Also had a low battery cyc

I just finished a 2 month road trip and used a mixture of Google Maps and Apple Maps and have to agree, Google Maps was surprisingly sub par. This really surprised me. The largest offender was routing from an Airbnb in Northern California
