OMG so tempting to get the M4 IPad Pro with all the trimmings. I am holding out though to understand if the 8GB vs 16GB is of material importance or not for the future.

I’ve never once thought “gee, I wish I had less RAM”

Just the ability to do nano texture on a touchscreen is very interesting.  I'm drooling a bit, but not upgrading anytime soon.

Yeah, how is that going to work?  What if it starts to wear off unevenly?  Maybe they have refined it so it’s not so fragile as on the displays?  That would be amazing!

Good god - where the hell did anyone get the idea that Blue is dead?  The amount of gaslighting around twitter is off the charts.  But not surprising since the establishment has lost it's favorite mouthpiece.

People paying >$10K under the table for blue checks before Elon - funny how that never gets brought up.  No wonder people are pissed that the plebs can get the same thing for $8 

I've been working remotely on and off for over a decade now - and if I was at the start of my career I can't think of anything more dangerous to my long term success than the allure of working from home.  As others touched on, you simply can't replace the serendipity of unplanned interactions that can only happen in person.  Every significant promotion or job opportunity I have had came from direct, physical interactions that simply would not have happened if I had been working full time remote.  Now that I'm near the end I don't mind working 100% remote full time. Indeed it's let me move closer to my parents, who are older and need my support.  But I think many, especially those who are younger/just starting out, grossly underestimate and are far more ready to write off the value of in-person interactions - it's rather tragic.  
Yet another reason I count my blessings for starting out in the late 80's/early 90's and not picking up bad habits that are so easy today.  

Still relentlessly focused on wattage and battery life - here's to still hoping for pure desktop chips or implementations scaled for always on power and amped up cooling
