How many paper menus could one buy vs. the cost of a tablet and the backend for the digital menu?

This really bothered me. They absolutely bury the lede that you need a Visa card selected as your Express Transit card. The whole thing is cool, from a hacking perspective, but also feels like they’re being dishonest to make an outrageous video.

You expect me to believe MKBHD keeps a Visa card with $10,000 ready to go as his Express Transit card? I mean, sure, maybe, he is doing extremely well. But he also seems like the kind of informed tech guy that would put two and two together, i.e. “I pay for things so often using my phone I can’t be bothered to authenticate with Face ID, I’ll just put my phone in my pocket and hope no hacker comes by and holds a reader near my phone.”

Get a broken 27" iMac, rip out the guts, and slap in a converter board that adds a bunch of inputs. It's not nearly as difficult to build as most of the blogs make it out to be.

Get an Apple Silicon MacBook with a broken screen and it’s an even better deal.

Pretty close. Good work.

A “soul mirror” is an interesting idea. Do you mean the modern smartphone is a mirror of ones soul because you just see what you want to see, you see what your soul is interested in?

M1 Pro or M1 Max?

Has anyone used this? The site doesn’t provide any screenshots, or much of anything.

Edit: Whoops, I didn’t notice I was only on the download page.

No need for Thunderbolt unless you value your time.

My dream has always been to work at the company that created the Macintosh. I enjoy thinking about how we interact with computers and making designs like Apple does. I'm not interested in working anywhere else -- I have a pays-the-bills job and an insane amount of patience. I like what Apple does and see most every other tech design as a fight for second place.

Apple, get at me -- I have a music UI I think could improve upon on your work, as well as so, so many ideas. I'm happy to carry water for you until I am qualified to get coffee for your interns.

Wow. Your quote was the first time I’ve read any Dostoyevsky and it had tears welling in my eyes. I will absolutely find more to read. Thank you.

Remote: Yes, I am an experienced remote worker. In-office work is great, too.

Willing to relocate: For the right job I am open to relocating.

“Ultra” means going beyond others.

It was about $250 all said and done. I got lucky and got the iMac for free, though even if I had purchased the Mac it would still be more affordable than Apple's Studio Display.

Absolutely do this. I built one and use it connected to a MacBook Pro. Building it was straightforward and 99% plug-and-play.

Remote: Yes. I am an experienced remote worker. In-office work is great, too.

Willing to relocate: Yes! I am excited by the opportunity to live in a new city.

I want to help create cool stuff. I'm looking for UI and UX positions, as well as more junior web development work. My experience is graphic design, web development, and UI design. My standards are high and I like to keep things efficient.

More than anything I'm into usability. I like making lives easier. I'm always thinking about how we can improve the tech we use.

I can do some basic front-end web development. Plain old HTML and CSS are my tools of choice. I can hack together some JavaScript given enough time. By far the most impressive JavaScript I have cobbled together is for an open-source web site I built as a passion project, which can be seen here [1]. Please take a look at my portfolio [2] to see some of my favorite projects.

* There is one mistake on my portfolio. If you can find it you and I may have something in common.

I use a first gen iPhone SE. It’s fine — I don’t understand why anyone needs a $1,000 phone.

In all parts. The center is has the biggest text. If it helps think of it this way: you're looking through a black fence at something colorful on the other side.

Edit: You're right, the text is only in the middle and next largest "fold." The rest is, spoiler, alien face glyphs.

I see the words "WE LOVE YOU" in the negative space in the first video.
