Really dislike the hate on Nvidia and the half-truth marketing speak about the “$40,000 display”

As best I can tell, you just used the word "hate" to describe the above. Come on.

Are there any good articles on the full truth about the display?

We really don't know much about the display; we just go off of what Apple tells us until it's actually out.

I dislike how much focus Apple and other companies put on Memoji's, Emoji's, Bitmoji's, Animoji's and all other shitty, cartoon representations of their users.

Emojis are one of the few reasons why people update their OS. It is a great win for security.

I've never thought of this, but wow it seems so true. Whenever a new batch of emojis come out, my friends start sending them which entices me to go update immediately.

I actually had to read it twice to get the meaning. I read "use the best GPU on the planet (not by Nvidia)" first as "well we couldn't get Nvidia so we used the next best thing we could find that wasn't"

Gave me a chuckle at least.

This is the only way I'm able to convince my family to upgrade sooner rather than later. Nothing quite like square-box-triggered FOMO to force an upgrade.

I actually use them a lot via FaceTime and it's definitely motivates me to update faster, so I'm all for it.
