I foresee in 10 or so years that once all usable macs have these T2, T3... chips that Hackintosh will be completely dead. You won’t be able to install macOS without the T chip being present.

What is image signal controller for? If the computer requires a password to boot from any drives, what happens if a person forgets the password? Will the computer be permanently bricked?

The webcam. 

Same as what happens to your iPhone if you forget your password. 

How not to make a dock:

1. Make a dock for a 15"
2. Don't make dock powerful enough to charge a 15"
3. Don't put Thunderbolt 3 in dock for a computer that only has TB3 ports.

Seriously who designed this dock and thought it was a good idea?

So is it better to buy a separate 0.5m TB3 cable (like Belkin's) if anyone purchases an LG ultrafine 5K monitor? The 2m cable that comes with it doesn't do 40Gbit/s right?

The cable that comes with the 5k ultra fine is 40gpbs and delivers 87w to charge the 15” MacBook. 5k would not work at 20gbps speed. I’ve had zero issues with the included thunderbolt 3 cable. 

Only way the MacBook Pro is getting 32gb is a complete redesign due to intel not supporting LPDDR4 until coffee Lake in 2018 if intel adds support for it that is. I don't see this happening as if you really need 32gb then might as well buy an iMac which also has a desktop class CPU.
