And possibly also getting away with hiding the consequences of one's actions

Are those really things people do all the time ? Not sure I would trust any kid with my credit card

Have they ever released the full internal Borg toolset and software ?

LRTimelapse seems so odd when you first use it but once it clicks it really is a solid product

Adobe products also traditionally have a lot of plugins. Although it's rare for photographers to use scopes for color

Photoshop has camera raw which is literally what Lightroom is built on - it's basically just a reskin of ACR with cataloguing and other features.

After Effects is also huge

Considering most have a basic VPN server built in already they sort of have a built in back door by design

We've gone full circle from Mainframes (1980s Cloud) and back again !

....do quantum computers and GPUs have a lot of overlap in the types of tasks they compute ? I was under the impression they solve quite different problems

From what I remember colourists are not using Nuke (more compositing)

If they licensed or built their own microVMs they could offer it as an addon product and solve most of these issues without full macOS instances

The age of the Linux desktop might actually finally be coming

Personally I think we are at an interim period for a big player to emerge and take over this space. If enough governments in the EU start switching over to customized linux distros theres a big chance for someone like Nokia to come in and develop their own approved distro with proper MDM and GPO-like management functionality baked in .

On top of that it could be great to see SteamOS continue to gain share and become more than just something people run on gaming purpose hardware.

And thirdly would love to see a more simplistic but super lean and functional OS built on something like the BSD.

Doesn't the cost of adding sewer / power / etc add up a ton ? Does that not require permits ?

The V series were always my favorite - also moved to iOS after owning a V60.

Never used it with the dual screen case as it was too large. But funnily enough I now use it all the time as a pro music player, remote for my Tv, tablet, etc. The dual screen is actually very well implemented and so is the "desktop" mode if you plug it in via usb-c to a big screen. The thing even shoots 8K video !

LG was way ahead of the time.

Anybody know if the O2O laser uplink / downlink is working? From what I understand its sort of a test and not guaranteed (depends also on weather near the ground stations).
