The graphs on this look really close to how the ones in iStat Menus 6 look. I love the aesthetics of this app and how it shows all the graphs, but wonder if it has the ability to show things like temperatures and powers

At least a few years ago the UltraFine 5K monitor on display in the Apple Store connected to the 2018 Mac Mini exhibited some odd behaviour. Not sure if it was Thunderbolt but it was definitely USB-C, but I believe it was changing the display scaling that would result in no display for quite a while.

Not much buzz about the sound quality yet, but it looks like a solid attempt. Force cancelling passive radiators with what looks like back suspension too, but I wonder if it will have vertical axis vibration issues if they arent doing something about that from the speaker driver itself.

I guess this is one of the reasons running the command manually actually requires the --no-preserve-root flag on some systems, anyway

I would be in the market for a powered/bluetooth speaker that doesn't sound like shit. For the price I'd expect (near) audiophile sound, however little in the marketing even seems to mention sound quality, it just seems very gimmicky.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a semi portable powered/bluetooth speaker that focuses on accurate sound reproduction (within the limits physics puts on a smaller enclosure)?

When it comes to anything Bluetooth and speakers I tend to look at Oluv's Gadgets on YouTube first, since that guy actually posts frequency response measurements of a wide variety of speakers. Seems like there is a wide variety of products featured but it is biased towards lower cost options.

Might be unrelated, but when I visit this page in a private browsing session on iOS 14 and play the video I get a modal saying Facebook would like to use cookies and website data, and if you allow they can track me. If I don't allow, the video stops playing. If I do nothing, the video plays in the background.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, I love the (rarely-found) type of restaurant where you enter, and they start serving you food where you have no choice in the matter. Like some family joint in the middle of nowhere that people go to for what they know will exactly be served, as if at home.

Of course, that's probably out the window after all this settles down. Those types of restaurants are probably highly likely to fold.

By the way, here's a funny parody of "every trendy restaurant menu": https://www.eater.com/2014/7/24/6181765/heres-what-every-tre...

This works well for me if the price is known in the beginning, but it probably necessarily varies. Perhaps itdoesn't matter in fine dining contects tho.

Any chance of macOS support?
