I'm done. If I could delete my account I would.

A big caveat I have is that the SSD is soldered directly to the logic board.

I've used a single Macbook for stretches of 4-5 years at points and I've had to pull out the HD when the logic board has died... seems really sad that I'd be tied to Apple's support in the event I need to access data to use on another machine when previously it was something I could solve in 15 minutes.

During Q&A sessions at conferences someone will inevitably ask: "Which applications do you use for your work?" — which is probably the least helpful question you can ever ask if you want to improve as a designer.

There seems to be a segment of beginners in many professions that perceives the competency gap as purely a software solution.

I feel like that's inherit to the term "Do it yourself" and I'm not sure why people feel like they need to explain it every time someone has a DIY project.

Personally I started getting into cooking through doing it once a week (usually Sunday night) and using it to save money by making enough for 2-3 meals a week.

One key to doing a weekly cooking time is setting aside the time to do it leisurely. If you're not rushing because you're hungry or in the middle of a busy week you can prep/cleanup properly (I use the time to cleanup my kitchen before the week a bit too).

I save money, eat a bit better, and clean my kitchen more often because I took 1-2 hours out of my weekend during a time I'd just be sitting around mourning the end of the weekend anyway.

I don't do it every weekend if I exhausted myself during the day with other projects... but I used to HATE cooking but I've really started looking forward to it. The end result is really satisfying and I feel like it produces a small ongoing feeling of accomplishment that I've really been missing.

All previous models were compatible out of the box.

Which only makes banning transfers additionally backwards

Basically it's like saying you want to ban illegal drugs from entering the country.

Yeah I'll occasionally switch to music on my phone if I'm doing a lot of memory intensive tasks. Having Spotify and Chrome open is like a RAM kiss of death.

About 5 years, but in working for Apple you worked for a company that still shipped other products.

Yes and no, you want to have a ton of time tinkering in a lab and the room to experiment and fail... but who would know Edison if he didn't eventually ship the lightbulb?

Also considering how litigious/secretive things are — it must suck to work on something for so long and be contractually obligated to avoid talking about it in public.
