Wow. I have 6 external displays for work via daisy-chained USB-C docks. Whenever I reboot it will occasionally swap them around putting the top on the bottom and swapping left and right. If you mouse to the screen on the right it ends up on the left. That little display changing flicker is worse than you think. There's also the app resize refresh that takes several seconds to work through before finally the buttons on the arrangement tab adjust. If you try to move a screen arrangement before it's done it will immediately cut off your mouse drag and put the screen right back inducing another round of the flicker. It took me a while to figure out the timing of the refresh and the visual changes to know when it's safe to try a screen move. Before that it was an excruciating exercise in try try try again.

From what I've read it seems the current M1 can't handle this setup. Hopefully when the full sized MBPs come out I might be able to flip my screen layout in under 10 seconds it's currently a over a minute with carefully optimized movements and timing.  2019 MBP 32GB i9.

Six monitors? 

What the f**k are you doing?

Video work?
Music?
Mission Control for SpaceX?
Fact-checking Trump’s tweets?

It’s called bragging, look at me, I’m above you all.

You got me. Moar monitors = moar virtuous. 

I've been waiting to hear about this since the Live Captions feature was announced. It requires an iPhone 11 with it's A13 Bionic or an A12 iPad. No mention was made of the feature on an AppleTV so my suspicion has been that it's not coming to the 2nd gen 4K with it's borderline A12. 

I know how Bad Robot intentionally modifies existing properties so they can grab a slice of equity in the IP and get ongoing revenue off the "new" characters. Wonder what their trick is on new productions.
