I’ve heard Intel’s are pretty good. Day comes that I can afford an SSD, I’ll probably go for theirs.
For consumer SSDs (& non-Optane), Samsung's are going to be much better than Intel's.
Ever so often Intel's SSDs go on sale for pretty low prices, I picked up a 512GB 600p for $130 a year or so back to use in a HTPC, it's decent, but despite being PCIe NVMe, it's not exactly fast.
Who knows? I don't recall Nest saying they would offer Homekit support, altho they did say they were open to it. If that's a hold-up then Nest is not for you. Look at Ecobee.
Why did they decide to have a light color background now? You put light text on a light color background and that spells UI failure.
They probably still have the same glossy display as the original, but now it's behind a frosted panel so that it's both less bright when active, and disappears for the most part when it is not. TBH I'd prefer that over the original's, blending into the background better when I don't need to see it.

I suppose more walls are light-colored than dark-colored, and so if you’re going to have a thermostat bump out of one of them, you’d want to make it white rather than black. Then, having a black face to it would only create further contrast. I’m actually interested in how they’re doing that. Is it a normal LCD that is… what, always on and showing white? Or is it somehow a WHITE-normal screen that shows color? Or is it a micro-perforated white plastic cover with a screen behind it whose UI elements shine through (like Apple does with the sleep light on the MacBook family and the Magic Trackpad)?

Because Apple do? It's a fad. It needs to die, yet Apple fans are still in unwilling to critique this crap. It's apparently not dated enough yet for them. Everyone has been following Apple design cues as usual, some worse and some better. I hate that the existing research on usability just gets ignored or outright disbelieved.

It's a piece of frosted plastic (AFAICT) over the display. Pretty simple

I know a few people with the Model S who report no issues, but the Model X has supposedly had a lot of "quirks."
Tesla better have the Model 3 sorted out at launch, or a lot of people on the waiting list will bail.
