Apple resurrects full-size HomePod with updated acoustics
"Protecting customer privacy is one of Apple’s core values. All smart home communications are always end-to-end encrypted so they can’t be read by Apple, including camera recordings with HomeKit Secure Video. When Siri is used, the audio of the request is not stored by default. These features give users peace of mind that their privacy is protected at home."

Mac Pro is Apple's last Intel computer standing
... the 'final-ever' Intel mini was also available in a 3.2 (4.6) Ghz i7 6 (12) cores and had upgradable ram to 64GB ...
Add to that eGPU (multiple W6900X?) and up to 3 @ 4K monitors and this mac seemed to offer quite a bit of power, upgradability and future proofing...
I understand that the Intel CPU core count generally starts to reach diminishing returns beyond 8 or so,
and would be curious to know how the M macs compare, including perhaps alongside the 8 (16) core base mac pro...? -
