I fill up my current laptop with 500gb pretty quickly if I go scuba diving with the GoPro for a few days on vacation and start editing it down. after I edit it it goes to external storage but 500gb is not very much if you do a lot of video editing while away from home.

dont record video while you scuba dive, just enjoy the dive gently caress

the startup chime was good because if the display was dead for whatever reason it told you that the laptop was at least booting (this saved me some trouble a few weeks ago actually)

now you have to uh... wait for the bottom to warm up?? go find an external monitor?? idk??

apple guidelines for touch bar interfaces posted:

Use the Touch Bar as an extension of the keyboard and trackpad, not as a display.
The Touch Bar shouldn’t display alerts, messages, scrolling content, static content, or anything else that commands the user’s attention or distracts from their work on the main screen.
Avoid animation. The Touch Bar is considered an extension of the keyboard, and people don’t expect animation in their keyboard.
Use color tastefully and minimally. In general, the Touch Bar should be similar in appearance to the physical keyboard.
In general, the Touch Bar shouldn’t include controls for tasks such as find, select all, deselect, copy, cut, paste, undo, redo, new, save, close, print, and quit.

because it's normal thing to care about. people showing companies that it's fine to charge $1.5 for a gigabyte of space are the problem
