we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

before thunderbolt 3 there was no transport capable of carrying a 5k 60Hz video signal, so it couldn’t be done in an external monitor.

there is only one 5k monitor on the market, and it only works with macs.

Make me CEO of Apple and I'll bring back the 2012 style "fat" unibody macbook pro with actual repairable, modular replaceable innards, a giant battery, spillproof goddamn keyboard and I'll switch out whatever bullshit natural rubber cables they keep making with regular PVC that doesn't rot and fall off the cable after a year.

Turns out producing a laptop where the keyboard fails after 12 months wasn't a fuckup but a calculated move, because selling durable products hurts their profitability.

Ideally your existing product should break about the same time we introduce this years shiny new thing.

let me move them further.

It’s a good thing 8K is a niche, because nothing is ready for it. Connection standards aren’t ready for it, so two DisplayPort connections must be used at once, as was true with Dell’s 5K monitor. Most video cards aren’t ready for it, so only the latest hardware from AMD and Nvidia can drive it. Windows isn’t ready for it, so we ran across numerous bugs, from wallpapers that didn’t fully load to a display driver that regularly crashed just while browsing the web.

this is a giant hack.

it can be connected to any product that supports DisplayPort at x3 speeds and any OS that can support 5k displays without making GBS threads itself. currently both of those are only made by apple.

combine that with the docking model, where you ideally only plug in one cable and you get your power, display, usb and thunderbolt peripherals, and networking from the same socket. only one cable to plug in when you’re at your desk, zero cables to plug in when you’re at starbucks.

i bet that like 90% of the people dont plug in anything to their laptop ever other than power

this could be fixed in a future way with qi charging. hopefully its physically possible to transfer the 60W+ a laptop gets without frying the internal organs of the people around it. also good luck telling jonny the laptop cant be unibody anymore because it needs a glass window at the bottom for charging.

if thats too much power for qi then welp i guess we just found the killer app for switching macbooks to arm

people really have not seemed to grasp this despite years and years intentional fragility, while we have immense amount of knowledge and expertise to make something v durable with very little/if any additional costs.

the trick is not fail so often that people consider it a piece of trash and buy something else, and also convincing people they're getting quality engineered products that totally is no way engineered to not last no sir

...then your laptop is probably crashing to the ground anyway

thunderbolt 3 is a superset of usb-c. 4 times faster, 8 dp 1.2 lanes, 4 PCIe lanes, but requires special hardware to make use of it.

afaik none of the 2016 MBPs are even out of warranty yet. i think they just genuinely didn't think that making the moving parts on your laptop completely intolerant to foreign objects would be a problem

apple displays were always repacked panels that dell was using which means many of them were fine and good, aside from the markup. when you look at dell and don't see them making a monitor with the specs you want, it means its not gonna work. someone at lucky goldstar somehow convinced apple otherwise and the result was the comedy anti-wifi displays.
