One of our engineers built a web-app crawler from scratch (why? enable users to quickly build a QA test plan). Jiri researched existing crawlers first and found nothing: he wrote about why build from scratch, plus technical challenges he ran into.

The connector itself shouldn't be an issue, because it doesn't fall under IP. The shape of the connector is entirely functional, so there's no creative work involved, so it would fall under patent law. However, the connector itself is unlikely to be innovative enough to be patentable, so it's not protected by patent law either.
Using HDMI connectors is totally fine. You just can't label it as "has HDMI port", as "HDMI" is a trademark.
Is that true? There is obviously some creative work in connector design - optimizing for looks, robustness to damage, dirt, easy of use, reliability technically, etc.

>I think I will get another 2-5 years out my mine.
I only own a M4 because the M1 had a hardware fault and I needed a replacement ASAP. (I sold the M1 after repair.)
Although I'm glad to have a newer machine with longer future support, I have yet to notice any meaningful performance difference.
