Agreed. It’s an awesome feature, but Apple isn’t likely to do the work to replace crappy enterprise software. Those software companies spend lots of time developing central management consoles (is everyone up to date?), they provide “reports” to show that the company is compliant to a ton of requirements (ie. SOX compliance), and other features that describe exactly what their software protects against. While none of those tools provide benefits to the end user, companies dig that crap.

Tough choice. I’d personally pick the 2020 model 3. It should have the second generation Intel CPU for the infotainment system, plus it should have HW3 for better autopilot behavior.

Plus, the 2018 Model S is now two generations old on the powertrain, so it’s likely that the mechanics only get minimal training on those older systems. And the battery uses older chemistry compared to the model 3.

That being said, you’d get a ton more space with the model s, and it’s likely going to be a good car.

Agree…it’s sough to argue against that. However, it’s a big hill to climb as tons of HTs have something proprietary built in, and I don’t think anything has M17 available?

I’m surprised that they didn’t combine Vons and Albertsons…they are the same company

The big challenge is that all of these teams are leaving after the 2023-2024 school year. So, they need these teams next season. The MWC arrangement is that if you want to leave at the end of the current school year, you owe two years of league distributions. With SDSU’s run to the championship game in basketball, the distributions are code the $19 million, so if these schools want to leave, they’d owe close to $40 million to leave to a league with no television deal.

In theory, they could disband the MWC, but I believe that takes 9 votes. So, this league would have to invite everyone but San Jose State, Wyoming and Utah State? (Or maybe no Hawaii?)

Needless to say, that’s not super realistic. (Granted, nothing that happened this week seemed realistic last week)

And just to be pedantic, if it’s a newer MacBook, then the included cable is a “MagSafe” cable, which has USB-C on one end and a magnetic rectangle to plug in to charge. (You can still do regular USB-C charging if you want)

I’d prioritize as much RAM as you can afford. It’s shared between the CPU and GPU, and since you seem to have tasks that stress both, extra RAM would be beneficial.

Both the pro and max SoCs can support 2 external displays (max can support 4). The Max has more GPU cores, so some of your workflows will benefit from that.

Oh…check to make sure that your displays will work with a pro: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213503

Pretty picture!

The Wii was a dying console when the Wii U was released. Once Nintendo made enough Wiis for people to get their Wii Sports fix, sales plummeted. There were some really good games made for the Wii in the second half of its life…but they didn’t sell that well. (At least this is what I remember)

Realistically, it’s anyplace where I’m away from the rat race and enjoying beautiful views.

That being said, some of my favorites have been a KOA near Glenwood Springs, Colorado where I got a spot right on the Colorado river. It was really pretty and the sounds of the river and deer walking through the campground made it a fun trip. In addition, honorable mentions go to Lake Cachuma near Santa Barbara, CA and Crater Lake RV resort in Oregon. Both were near water, had pretty views and they had tons of activities.

SDSU denied that it was a withdrawal letter and instead an “ask for more time“ type letter.

That being said, it’s likely that they are expecting a PAC-12 invitation, assuming they ever get a new TV contract.
