Well, I feel for Mark, I really do. I mean, he knows Quest is, as a poster above put it, a Fisher-Price toy in comparison to VP, but he can't admit that. What's he supposed to say? 

You obviously don't remember the clamshell Apple laptops (handle included) or the flower power iMacs. 

What was he supposed to say? 

Part of the POINT of the original iMacs and iBooks WAS the fact that they used bright colors and were a bit whimsical.
PeeCees of the day were for the most part dull as dirt beige boxes.
Just like Windows or pretty much everything spewed from Microsoft of the day, not fun, not inspiring. Sure, they worked. So does a screwdriver.

To me the Quest looks like something I'd order from Grainger's or ULINE.

As for Zuckerberg's response? Of course it was something like this… 
"Dude that Vision Pro is like really AWEsome, maaaaaan! That Quest thing is like a real POS. I mean like who would like make something like that? Ooops! Oh! Wait!"

The Quest hardware looks like Fisher-Price junk now, next to the VP. 

Fisher-Price does a very good business selling its “junk”, and I think their target audience would hardly call it junk.

Two-year olds aren't a particularly discerning audience. 😜

Yearly OS (and other applications) upgrades are ridiculous AND forced.

Hey Apple,

Can we please have the Desktop NOT disappear from the SideBar while ejecting my Thunderbolt 3 RAID…
…EVERY TIME my MacBook Pro goes to sleep? 

PLEASE?!?!?!?

It's only been happening over the last 3 Mac OS releases. I guess it's a feature?

I have Thunderbolt 4 RAIDS, as well as Thunderbolt 2 RAIDs (using the adapters), and nothing like this happens on any of my Macs, ranging from Mac Pro, MBP, Studio, and Mac mini.  What RAID software are you using?  I use Apple's own (as in the built-in RAID in Disk Utilities).  I gave up on the OWC SoftRAID as it was always late updating to the latest macOS and had numerous issues.  Apple's RAID had been flawless for me for years.

I have a G-Tech 16TB G-RAID with Thunderbolt 3. I've had nothing but trouble with this thing. It's about 5 or 6 years old.
2 drives have failed. And this unmounting thing has been going on for several years. I've swapped cables, etc..
It's maddening. I should probably replace it.

I set it up with the Apple's Disk Utility. 

I go to Apple's Support web site. I'm not the only one with this problem. They have no fix and no clue.
My old LaCie RAID never gave me this sort of trouble. Ever.
