What does this mean?

”At $45, it is also costs more than 30-percent less than Apple's as well.”

Apple's 60W charger costs $69, this one is $45 - i.e. ~30% less than Apple's

You're putting a 30W charger side-by-side with a 60W or 80W Apple charger and getting excited because it is smaller?

That's actually Anker's 30W charger side-by-side with Apple's 30W charger. Anker's 30W charger is about the same size as Apple's iPhone 5W charger.

I'd love to see a similar test done on the i9 2018 MBP. I really don't have any speed complaints, but when the processor is running full tilt (all 6 cores and 12 threads maxed out), the temp reaches 110° C pretty quickly and the processor throttles slightly to 2.7-2.8GHz (down from the base 2.9GHz). I've thought about reapplying a different thermal paste, but I'm just not sure if it's worth the risk.

Sad, but hardly surprising. The latest iOS to be jailbroken was 11.4 beta 3 - and that actually only happened recently. The likely hood of iOS 12 being jailbroken at this point is fairly slim, and it certainly isn't going to happen any time soon. For better or worse, jailbreaking isn't nearly as necessary as it was in iOS' early days. Apple has added a number of features that were popularized by various jailbreak tweaks, and for the vast majority of users it simply isn't worth the hassle and security implications that come with jailbreaking.

I'm trying not to be mad that the Vega wasn't an option when I bought my MBP back in August - I obviously was content with the purchase when I made it. That being said, I totally would have spent the additional money for the Vega 20. At least there're eGPU's now.
