My experience is on the contrary. Employer-lent laptop only needs to be _not lost_, especially in MNCs. Replacing an MNC laptop is relatively easy and free for the user - as long as it is not lost, by the way.

A missed opportunity though. If it’s USB-C powered, it could be even smaller and Apple could simplify its BOM by including a MacBook Pro charger with it.

Docker on Mac works fine on external drive. I moved the storage volume on a rotating USB 3 drive.

Fwiw, Eyoyo offers 4K 15” monitors, which qualify as _retina displays_. Those are usually around $150, depending on reseller and exact model.

Except that Android apps tend to ask for just about all entitlements available. Translation: effectively back to square 1.

... caveat to Google's track record of rapid launch and subsequent deprecation of platforms...

Technically it's "front door" since it _publicly exists_.

Or Mechanical Turked.

Say that you're an official with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). You have huge stacks of brochures of anti-CCP materials. You've got them scanned and hashed. Next you call Apple and say, "Please alert us if similar imageries appears in your customers' devices. My assistants will send you weekly updates of the required hashes." Apple would say, "Sure, we're just following your law..."

Hence when a Chinese photographs such brochure "in the wild" using an iPhone, someone from "the government" will knock the next day and "strongly enquire" about yesterday's photo. Likewise when a Chinese minor receives an iMessage containing such brochure.

This is just _one_ example case of "extension" of the CSAM database as seen fit by some regulatory body.

... Technically for us at least the _gas_ company is different. In fact there are a number of companies providing gas.
