Ethical hackers prove having a Mac doesn't make you immune to cyberattacks
There's a fun movie-intro with Robert Redford where he's paid to "hack" a bank.
He physically breaks in at night, then hacks into the computers, creating fake accounts with $$$
The next morning, in a suit, he goes in as a customer and closes the accounts.
Teller asks politely why he's closing the accounts.
"I didn't feel my $$$ was safe here", with a nice smile.
Takes the briefcase upstairs in the bank to the board of directors conference room and opens it, with all the $$$.
"You guys aren't that secure."

Compared: Apple Silicon M1 vs M1 Pro vs M1 Max vs M1 Ultra
The base mac mini with M1 is enough for us. We just need more storage for a large home-photos library.
We kept our 2009 iMac for over 10 years until it failed finally.
My only worry with an M1 Mini (+16GB & 2TB SSD upgrade) is if 16GB would be enough 10 years from now (still simple use-case).
Best guesses on when the base Mini gets any-Mx that can use 32GB? Base Mx, 32GB, and 2TB would last us indefinitely.
That new Studio......wow. Very tempting if a chunk of $ comes our way....

Future MacBook Pro rumored to have a folding screen, 'iPhone Fold' coming in 2025
There was a folding phone on display in a big-box store near me.
I picked up the folding phone (whatever it was). There was already some screen failure in the fold, in the form of a small pixelated-green region instead of the background white.
Granted those display-phones probably live a short and difficult life but C'Mon Man.
What's the purpose? A rectangle that doesn't fit in my jeans-pocket, that folds into a square that doesn't fit in my jeans pocket.
I agree with others here. Don't get the business case at all.
Enjoy the speculation of future-folding-everything though. Lighten-up everybody.
I want my future eye-glasses to fold one lens over the other and become a Zoom Monocle!
