Other than finicky gas pump stations I haven't had an issue with Walmart Pay and I don't think they can replicate Scan & Go as effectively with other non contact payment methods disclosure my wife works for Walmart Corporate so there's an incentive for us to use their technology. 

The Power Button is a nothingburger.   On such an efficient computer I'd rather have the button tucked away so that it's never inadvertently hit. 

Wifi placement.  Wouldn't bother me as when I get my M4 Mini I'm upgrading to the 10G Ethernet version. 

SSD Pricing -  Trivial since I can UPGRAYEDD the SSD when I want. 

Solid update I'm buying probably 3 of them.  4.5/5.0 

I wonder if the lock technology is going to be based on the defunct Otto IP by Sam Jadallah. 

Assa Abloy just acquired Level Lock which I use and honestly the best smart lock is the one you don't 
realize is a smart lock. 

2025 the year I can DeGoogle and it feels great. 

CSAM is a privacy nightmare.   I'm sorry that a small group of people have experienced abuse but I'm just not into a future where people want to store my data as long as I give them carte blanche to check for whatever they want.  If Apple wants to enable CSAM scanning then it's only right of them to ensure that every iCloud feature is available to 3rd party storage providers. 

If Apple's intentions are to integrate Photomator into the Photos app then it's going to be a shitshow.  


If Apple realized that killing Aperture was the wrong move and realizes it needs a more functional Pro Photo Editing app then 
Photamator is the right acquisition.
