Why would anyone care here about this product without HomeKit support?
There are tens of thousands of more or less interesting products in the marketplace, but this here is called APPLE insider, not “random gadgets insider”, so unless this thing has direct bearing on the Apple ecosystem, an article like this is a waste of my time!!!
Stop posting crap like this, regardless of how many kickbacks you may get. 

Is this an exercise in heraldry, or is this supposed to be a recognizable logo, which companies can display to distinguish themselves in the marketplace?

If it’s supposed to be the latter, it’s a horrible design: much too intricate, too colorful => needs to much space, needs to be seen close up, etc.

Would have expected better logo design from such a famous company…

The real issue of M1 Max is: NO ECC RAM!!
And unfortunately almost nobody gets why that’s important…

DST is retarded to begin with, a harebrained idea by harebrained politicians trying to solve a problem they didn’t understand, creating a slew of much more severe problems as a consequence. (Sounds a lot like the current rush into renewables instead of nuclear energy…)

1) time is not arbitrary, but derived from the earth’s movement around the sun and it’s own axis.

2) the energy savings aren’t real, at least not these days, where it just means people spend time gaming, running the AC, etc. which more than makes up for the puny savings in (LED) light.

3) the economic disruption, and the wasted productivity with switching time tables multiple times per year, and not even the same day across the globe.

Don’t try to fool people by shifting clocks, simply have different business hours during summer, if you absolutely must.

Why would it scale from all sides? Simply advertising to a app a less tall screen would be sufficient. No need to have black bezels on the other three sides, or is the article reporting the behavior wrong/misleadingly?

The proper way to handle this is, that the code which draws the menu bar, simply makes that unavailable. Very few apps draw into the menu bar directly, so frankly why should developers even have to jump through hoops for something Apple’s libraries should handle transparently without additional efforts by developers?
