#22That is a Data General 6053, aka Dasher D2, terminal, with a trackball spliced in place of the number pad. The D2 was introduced in 1977, same year as the Apple II.
Thank you for nailing this down.

#23The video linked from that page is interesting, no mention of the Mac Pro or even Mac Studio. The series was edited on Mac mini, iMac and MacBook Pro.
they also look like they're using studio displays, instead of the pro display xdr, so they must just be doing the cuts here and the HDR color grading somewhere else. maybe they rent an editing room with those $30k+ reference displays to do the color grading?

#25I wonder who the audience is for the Mac Studio after they showcased some pretty serious workflows from industry leaders using a Mac Mini, Mac, and a MacBook Pro.

#26OK, but DaVinci Resolve is still better :)
They were actually using Avid Media Composer, not Final Cut Pro.

I kinda feel like Apple has been trying to say that for a long time, and finally got sick of people saying they abandoned the pro scene and said fuck it here's your massively overpriced "professional" version so you can feel like you're a pro.

#28Lumon: is an evil company employing kids, slaves and holding people hostage against their will Apple: hey guys here’s the cool terminal from our beloved sci-fi horror show People: this is fucking cool I want this right now take my money lumo… oops Apple
I mean, it's not the terminal that's the problem with Lumon, it's the other things you mentioned like slaves & child labor that are problematic.
Its a cool retro (real) terminal.

Obligatory plug for "The Soul of a New Machine", written by Tracy Kidder about Data General and the drive to introduce a new computer a couple of years after this terminal was introduced.
