Almost certainly the most common use case for multiple screens on Macs at this point is notebooks connected to an external monitor, some of the time. On modern Macbooks it's mostly all just Thunderbolt ports too, which are supposed to

It looks like SpaceX may have messed up in terms of how only some, but not all, refugees/asylees are barred by ITAR. Reading deeper into 22 CFR § 120.62 [0] and linked regs shows a complex situation, but that's no excuse for Space
