    If you're a professional musician you sure as hell won't scoff at making sure your bus interfaces are being saturated. Sorry, but typical home studios are > $5k in equipment. Most quality Audio Interfaces are already USB-C ready 3.1 interfaces with USB-C to USB-A and USB-C to USB-C cables included. Example: Focusrite Clarett Lines. If you're a professional, the odds of spending < $600 on an Audio Interface for live performances seems non-existent.
    Maybe yes if you're fully pro but I suspect the much larger category of semi-pros using Mac gear and (probably at least $5k gear live) will be most affected by this. Many many MainStage users..

    I'm a musician. MIDI as a system of connectivity & control has been around for 40 years and is still more reliable than (MIDI over) USB. So much gear can continue to be used successfully in studios and live because the standards DO NOT change so rapidly. So rapid migration to new connectors is not always the best thing. And don't get me started on headphone sockets... ;-)
    USB-C is by far a better connector than USB-A and is backwards compatible with the older USB data protocols, so not sure what you're talking about.
    Just musing that new for the sake of it isn't always better (altho' I understand data speeds, etc improve). it's about the best 'tool for the job' imo

    If there were a round one I might consider buying it.
    And if it were already round you would be saying you wanted a rectangle one before you would consider it.
    I’d like a triangular one 🔺

    And... this from a company that thinks AI is the future and started into an autonomous car project? Should we be scared now?
    A few useful tips in there, though. It just sucks that you have to say things the right way, all too often. And, it's always when my hands are full or I'm driving, that Siri just can't seem to figure out what I want and I can't figure out how to say it. :(

    But, I'm still waiting for, 'Hey, Siri... answer the %$*(# phone!' to work.

    The podcast search one is especially funny though, as most of Apple's search capabilities aren't often good enough to find what you're looking for, even if you know exact words in the title. Apple could ***REALLY*** use to hire a few Google search people to make their search engines at least as good as Alta Vista was back in the 90s. Sheesh!
