Apple would be doing me a huge favor by allowing two or three options to the 'Siri' trigger, like Amazon does for their Echo ('Alexa', 'Computer').

Siri on the HomePod, is adequate if barely, for controlling music, but pretty much dismal for anything else it's supposed to do.

Those remaining few things need to be done on the phone. But I have to wake the phone for that. If just using the voice command, HomePod Siri muscles in and takes control, and fails to respond properly. So Siri, and Siri's hot sister, Sara, would be appreciated.

I still want the CAPTCHA platform dead. Put down. Buried. Ground into nothingness. It's a potentially viable concept horrific in execution. If it was finished, I'd cheer.

I missed that it can connect to four different devices. This may get a test drive.

Being based on the Mac mini doesn't mean it has to look like the mini. What I want to see is more ports than the mini. I don't care if there are no Type-A ports, just USB4 and T3 ports. And the latest HDMI, not one or two steps behind. Apple uses "Pro" indiscriminately so I'm not sure what to expect from Studio-Lite. 

Today, the Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan sentenced Wu to the time he already has served in custody, which amounts to approximately 26 months.

It's not uncommon at all to give credit for time served when a defendant has waited a lengthy time for sentencing. That's not a requirement though and the amount of money stolen as a result of the fraud should have received a sentence beyond time served IMO. The amount of profit realized shouldn't be a consideration.

What should be/should have been considered is the ability and likelihood of making the required restitution, as I imagine that will not happen. So half of the conditional sentencing would not be met. The time served portion of the sentence was probably a result of a plea deal, something else that bothers me. Plea bargains can be very useful, but used just to get a conviction and resolve the case as quickly as possible doesn't serve justice, at least to me.
